Hmm... I should have lots of erotic notions considering the dose of Valium I have to take at this point. Unfortunately I am rather flat on that end of things but that could be due to the polypharmacy.
Are you saying that Ambien makes orgasm impossible 24 hours later ? Ambien has a fairly short half life as do most pseudobenzodiazepines. Its intended for sleep and it would sort of follow that orgasms or most active human activity would be dampened.Headache is conceivable, I've never had it on Ambien though, and I take it up to 20mg.
As for the benzodiazepine that "sucks you in", I'd say for me it's Dalmane. Rather powerful stuff. Restoril, as Ed mentioned, takes a longer period of time and for whatever reason is actually occasionally dosed for daytime anxiety like Xanax, although I wouldn't recommend it -- Restoril is a small metabolite of Valium actually.
