In reply to Ambien - Is this effect common??, posted by becksA on April 7, 2005, at 14:38:09
> Ambien has been helping me sleep, it's been amazing. Just curious though, I've noticed something a bit strange when it is working and I've laid down and closed my eyes for a while. It is difficult to describe but I usually imagine things, as if I'm watching a movie screen..whatever comes to mind. With Ambien though, this becomes VERY real, like I was on acid or something. Everything becomes so real sometimes I almost forget I'm lying in bed for a split second.
> Anybody have this happen to them with Ambien?I haven't experienced this on Ambien, but I have experienced it in my life. Especially when I was sick in bed, drifting in and out of consciousness. (I used to get bad tonsilitis as a kid.) Anyway, it's called hypnagogic hallucination. It is not harmful, but it can be really scary.
