Um… I can tell you guys that ambien is not really working for me either (and is not working at all… which is why I don’t like it). but in fact, I can tell you that I have not found anything that it is really working for me and trust me… I did have tried a lot of sleep aid medications and methods… in fact, I have tried almost everything that it is known… I have learned about those methods in particular by reading these threads (as well as other threads on other sites) but I have not found anything that helped me. and I’ve tried to do everything as it has been written. With no luck, of course. I did have mentioned in another thread that the regular ambien is sometimes (only sometimes) helping me to fall asleep, however I am always waking up approximately 3 hours or so later after using it, exactly as a very big number of people who said this (like OP). I have found that I can combine Benadryl with this medication and it might prolong it a little bit as I am waking up approximately 4 hours after using them both and so I have an hour more (which, in my situation, is also quite good). I’ve got to say that the CR version is working better, however I am still very often waking up and I am having to take Benadryl with it. besides, I do agree with the fact that ambien and amnesia are closely related with each other. exactly as other people have said about it – I do not like this drug (in fact, I kinda hate it for this) due to the fact that it is making me do some really dumb sh*t and it is also not allowing me to remember them. the post about the car crash. I also think that ambien alone is responsible for that. for all of that. I haven’t had such a dangerous situation while on it (thanks god), however I did have accindetally sent some extremely embarrassing emails and did not even know that I have sent them only I have received some replies with ? or WTF? Besides that, I have also made some cookies (or whatever they were) in the middle of the night and I don’t freakin’ know if I was asleep then or not (like sleep walking), but I am just really glad (and I think that it is a blessing overall) that I have not burnt the house down completely then. I say that they were cookies or whatever else they have been because I used a cookie mix, however I then have added a lot of some of my own ingredients as much as it seemed because when I have tasted them later I have never tasted anything that bad. Those cookies were really awful! but anyway… exactly as somebody said that this feels like it was a dream… indeed that’s true because I kind of remember thinking that I have been going to make some cookies, but it definitely was nothing more than that. I’ve been thinking like I have done them, something like in a dream. But when I woke up I thought that I’ve never actually done it. oh yeah… and the eating… I have had so many of the ambien eating incidents (it surely does not help when you need to lose some baby weight) I am also going um… initiate some of the things with my dh that I would definitely would absolutely never ever do them in the time I would not be under the drug’s effects and the thing is that I am not even remembering it next day. all what has been said here about ambien are not myths or something, this is a really really dangerous drug that should be avoided if you want to be safe. Best regards!
