In reply to Ambien fun, posted by TJ22 on May 2, 2003, at 19:20:59
The few times I have taken Ambien, it has felt like a recreational drug to me. I did not find it particularly good as a sleeping aid, as it was very distracting to have these funky visions when I was trying to sleep.
I don't know enough about it pharmacologically to say how bad it is to use as a recreational drug, though it's probably not a good idea to take it at school.
> I have been taking ambien for only 2 weeks. I didn't realize that i was supposed to go to bed right after i take it, so i stayed up and was on my computer for awhile after i took it. after about 20 minutes, the computer screen started to swivel and the keyboard felt like it was on a slant, and i started seeing double vision. now to an 18 y/o man who just recently went cold turkey on smoking weed and drinking, this was quite the trip. so about a week later, i got the idea to take it to school the next day. so that night i didnt take it, and i was up till 2 am. i went to school, and about 2nd hour i popped one. i went off grounds to smoke a cig then as i was walking back it hit me. i had double vision and just felt like i was goin on a little trip. i was dissapointed when it only lasted about 20 minutes, but since then i've been taking them to school and taking them there just for the trip.
> MY QUESTION IS is this a really bad thing to do? not taking ambien at night and taking it in the day? i dont drive my car or do anything that would endanger me or anyone else while i'm on it. if anyone is doin the same, please respond. or if you are a 40 y/o mother who thinks i am a bad news druggie, please respond. i want to hear everyones comments. THANK YOU
