wtf Ambien?

OK  I know some of you have taken it before. So I take it Monday night at around 8, get sleepy, in bed asleep around 9. I wake up at around 1:30 when E is fussing and am surprised at how “awake” I feel but fall asleep within 5-10 min. Figure it’s just bc I was woken up.

 

I do more or less the same thing last night, maybe take it a bit later. But there was no interruption last night, I SHOOT awake at like 1:30 and am wide wide awake. Like no way I am sleeping, feel like I just had coffee awake. I was also kind of hot and uncomfortable but nothing odd. I finally get yp and go watch some TV bc I was just getting annoyed lying in bed. I finally gave in and took ½ a pill again around 3:30.

 

WTF? Is this normal? I am not taking it anymore. I understand there is an extended release but I honestly don’t need it enough to ask for that, esp w my history of addiction issues.

    It is normal. The not extended release stuff is good for falling asleep, not necessarily staying asleep.

    Also, the XR stuff isn't more potent than the regular stuff, it's just been tweaked so it's mechanism of release is slower, so it enters your bloodstream all night long instead of all at once when you take it.

    Ambien is weird.  My mom used to get up and prepare and eat entire meals in the middle of the night while taking the stuff.  With no memory of doing so in the  morning.
