    Yes I have had terrible nasal dryness, rhinitis, thick mucus, hoarseness and swallowing problems. Stop Amdien/Zoldepim before treating with nasal meds. I feel better in three days after stopping.

    Can you explain the nasal problems you experienced? I'm wondering if the wierd drying of my nasal passages and ice cold nose may be due to my use of Ambien CR.

    Ambien and aggressiveness
    I have a friend who claims that Ambien made him uncharacteristically aggressive and angry right before falling asleep. He does not clearly remember his behaviors the next day. Has anyone heard of this happening with others?
