Ambien is one of the most prescribed sleeping aids in the world, but this potent drug should not be used without precaution. The following are some random comments pertaining to Ambien use.
Comment# 1
I have numerous experiences of evidence of what I call sleep walking/eating when taking Ambien. I find candy wrappers, even squashed chocolates in my bed. This morning there was the empty can from peanuts. I have no recollection of getting up and going downstairs to find food. My husband has begun hiding snack foods but now worries that I might go out, or drive the car. I have gained weight and have not understood why until realizing that the sleep aid Ambien is the cause. I have recently tried other sleep aids like Lunesta and it does not work for me, I do not sleep walk/eat. It is definitely connected to Ambien use.

My boyfriend has been taking Ambien and he too has the midnight raids in the kitchen. Worse is his AGRESSIVE behavior that he doesn't remember it the next day. He has threatened to kill my cat and has pinched me. I am starting to fear for my life due to this drug. Are there better sleep aids available? HELP.

I’m glad to hear that there is a law suit out there and I’m going to join in I think. Ambien has destroyed a lot of my life. I’ve been on it for four years and can't stop taking it, but I’m afraid to get to rehab. I don't have the money or the time. My doctor never warned me and has kept me on an over dosage for three years now with no questions. It angers me and this is the first site I’ve found with any real feed back about the drug. I’ve been experience bad health problems because of the sleep aid and so I’ve researching it a lot lately and I haven't been able to find anything on it that is helpful on any of the medical sites. It’s ridiculous. I just wanted to say thank you for helping with the awareness which I’m trying to do the same.

My Dad is in some serious trouble from taking the sleep aid Ambien. Yes he is one of those that drives and gets violent from Ambien and something more serious has happened from Ambien and he needs anyone’s help who has had an awful experience from this.

Further to my own experiences with Ambien, I have another close friend who also sleeps walks/eats when on the sleep aid Ambien. She also has eaten whole boxes of chocolates with no memory of having done so. She has also fallen down the stairs, been bruised badly, continued to the kitchen and eaten with no memory of it. Today, I heard of yet another person who has had the same experience with Ambien, who was gaining weight and didn't know why. She has deduced it is only when taking this sleep aid; she too is sleep walking/eating.
Make sure you know the facts before letting you doctor get you addicted to the powerful sleep aid Ambien. Natural sleep aids are usually a better and safer alternative.
Ambien is scary stuff!
The generic seems to make me very groggy in the morning. I wondered if anyone else has tried it.
Thanks for the valuable post. Its a great thing you have posted this. I was planning to buy Ambien.

Natural sleep aids are usually better than any other sleep aids. Being natural is good without worrying the side effects. However, if natural sleep remedies do not have an affect on you, you may consult your doctor because most chronic insomnia can be a symptom of depression, heart or lung diseases, and sleep apnea. That's why it is very important to see a doctor if you are having trouble sleeping. Thanks so much for the information.
I think we must aware of the product that we consumed
maybe it's better to get consult with doctor first

A double edged sword to say the least. You gotta sleep or else bad things happen. But you dont want to get hooked on pills for the rest of your life. A hard choice indeed.

Some who take sleeping get addicted to them and can't sleep without using them. Is this a side effect of the pill or is it just the persons taking the pill who are either mentally and emotionally disturbed, depressed or they just gets addicted easily?

Yes a lot of people these days get addicted to sleeping pills most especially actors and actresses and other people from the movie industry. After taking pills for a few times they just don't seem to get any sleep anymore without taking them. They start to rely on the pills more and more.
