Ambien?

[ISUAlum2002]

To me if you can't sleep well, it's a sign that your current lifestyle is not healthy and causing too much stress resulting in the sleep problems. I'd rather go the lifestyle change route before resorting to a drug.

With that said, over the last 6 months I've been sleeping as poorly as I ever have in my life. That coinsided with a very busy work schedule that's been good for the pocket book, but obviously not my sleep! Fortunately it's ramping down now and I'm sleeping better. I have found that if I work out more and harder, I sleep better. Reminds me of how well I slept back on the farm after a hard day of physical work.

Don't think I'll ever touch the stuff. Will try other methods first. Certainly sympathize with the people who feel they have to use it.

I agree with this. I would definitely start with lifestyle changes first before going to meds. I can't imagine that narcotic induced sleep is very satisfying to the body, or mind.

anyone have strange stories with this stuff? Why do the letters always move? Everything else stays but the letter on the screen dance around making me think I'm crazy. I've slept walked on this stuff and done a lot of weird crap..and will surely do it again tonight. Anyone else sleep walk on this stuff? If my computer isnt here when I wake up, first place to look is the fridge..thats where it gets put when Im on ambien. Normal reaction? I don't know.

somehow i poseted this in fantasy games forum..can anyone switch? I don't want advice from guys who dress up as wizards on a normal day..wait...unless you are only dressed a wizard becuase of the ambie. That is the exception.

My wife took one 5 miles from home while driving,fell asleep and went in the ditch.One night i made a malt,took two,started going up the stairs to go to bed and watch tv;Fell asleep, fell down the stairs and broke a rib.Aside from that,it gives me terrible chest and shoulder pain

Avoid organic foods because they are a waste of money and a complete waste of resources and if we grew all organic food we could at best feed 2/3 of our current population.

But ever since those idiots at Odwalla killed those kids with their manure laced unpasteurized apple juice it is all pasteurized like any other juice.

You have to love Norman Borlaug's quote in this clip.

But it is not all pasteurized -- some of these local nut producers don't and claim added benefits -- be careful. Also drinking unpasteurized milk is nearly as dangerous as Russian Roulette.

It's scary what the pharmaceutical industry provides us with for solutions, seriously, let's make a sleep aid from the date-rape drug...seems like a great idea!!!

Actually, it's the other way around.

I love sleep. Could easily sleep 12 hours a day ... but I do occasionally have problems idling down after a busy day and falling asleep. The worst is trying to go to sleep when my mind is racing with all the things I need to do the next day. On the advice of my doctor, I've been using OTC Traquilent by Sanesco. It bumps my serotonin and I drift off quickly and experience a very restful night. I don't need it all the time, but it's a great option when I do need a little help.
