I've been struggling to sleep for a while after trying to wean off benzos and thought ambien would be a good short term fix. I took 10mg to start with, and expected it to work like a benzo in that it just knocks you out, but I just stayed awake. I took another 10mg and after a while, my coordination was wonky and I couldn't stand up. I had almost psychedelic visuals in that when I looked at my ipod screen, the letters seemed to pop in and out. Colours would fade and burn, and it almost seemed as if the screen was three dimensional. I heard different voices in my head doing a running commentary on what I was doing and it was just bizarre. Probably what it feels like to be psychotic. Weirder than any trip I've had even! I then decided to take a Xanax to finally sleep and it did the trick.
Am I ambien-ing wrong? Do you have to sort of make a conscious effort to get to sleep after taking it instead of just letting it do its job like benzos?
Cheers
