The perfect little partner. I love Ambien, because of my occupation, I often find my sleep pattern shifting from day to night and sometimes "none". So, needless to say I have trouble maintaining a normal sleep pattern, and somewhere along the line developed a mild case of insomnia. Ambien is great. The only side-effects that I have noticed are the mild hallucinations...but is this "really" a side effect? Ambien is classified as a hypnotic, so of course you are going to be drowsey and experience mild distortions in time, space and certain realities...but nothing scary like that from actual hallucinogens...If people don't take the time to read and teach themselves about the chemicals they put into their own or their childrens bodies, they shouldnt get upset or scared or mad about what they experience. Personally, I somewhat enjoy the 10 mins of mild hallucinations just before I go to sleep...it's a little bit entertaining. As I said, It is listed as a hypnotic, it is part of what helps you fall asleep. Know your drugs before you take them people.

I second that! I love Ambien, too. Sure, reading the leaflet with all of those scary side effects is a bit scary, but if you take it AS DIRECTED, you should be fine. I have Restless Leg Syndrome, which I developed during my pregnancy 2 years ago, and until my doc prescribed Ambien, my life was a nightmare. I could not sleep! Correction: I slept very little, but it took hours to get there. Now I am able to take an Ambien, get into bed, and the next thing I know, it's morning. Thank goodness for the relief this little pill provides.
