HI..I have taken Ambien on and off for about a year to combat insomia when on SSRI's (also have had chronic insomia since early adolescence)and I think it is the best thing since sliced bread..ie i can fall asleep with in 30 minutes and usally sleep at least 5 hours which for me is awesome..but the first couple of times i took it I did do some weird stuff..like got up out of bed sometime during the night and ate a whole pint of Ben and Jerrys...only reason I knew it was me was because I lived alone and the cat has a hard time with the silverware draw...and if I take it too early as in more than 60 minutes before going o bed I can behave quite strangely I've been told...sent some strange emails made phone call i don't remember..kinda like a "blackout"from drinking very heavily...I still do this on occ. but usually its because (again) I've taken it too early..and it does give me the major munchies if i'm awake too long after taking it....kinda makes me feel really high so ...I can see its potential for abuse..but anyways..
Niki
