> > Last night I took 20 mg of ambien (prescribed) and twenty minutes later was intimate with partner. I have very few memories of this. I also acted aggresively which is not my nature. Then after the intamcy I told my partner I didn't really remember. I felt cognition during certain aspects of the intamcy. It felt like a dream or like I was drugged. Is this normal? Has anyone else had similar reactions or side effects??
Karen, I thank you for your and everyone else's mail regarding "Ambien". I took my first dose last night and while I didn't seem to mind then, I have been quite upset all day. I should have minded as what happened me me was quite scary. I am a recovering alcoholic and prescription drug addict. Although I relapsed a few weeks ago, I've been working had on my recovery for the last five years. Last night I took a single 10mg caplet of Ambien about 1/2 hour before I went to bed. My husband thought I had been drinking! Even I had to wonder as a felt so stoned! I hadn't been but I had every feeling like I was such as muscle relaxation, shakiness, trembling and slurred speach. The only thing I cared about was being relaxed and going to sleep. It was frightening though. I woke up during the night and marvelling that slept so great took another half caplet. A few hours later I woke up. Mentally ok then, went about my day although I was extremely fatigued and experienced terrible weankess. I don't believe I'll be taking Ambien again! Strange.
