I have been prescribed ambien for nearly 2 years. I don't take it nightly, but usually a couple times a week. My current dose is now 30mg up from my starting dose 2 years ago of 10mg.
30mg is hardly enough to induce sleep and I find some nights ill feel nothing and have to take another 20mg.
Two nights ago I took my normal 30mg at 11pm and sat on my couch to read for a bit until I was feeling relaxed and ready for bed. Sitting down is the last thing I remember.
I haven't had amnesia sense the first couple times taking it. Even at 100mg I was able to recall most of my time on it and able to function well enough. I was certainly altered, but not to the point of delious uncontrollable thought/behavior.
I recall little bits and pieces of the night, and was also told by my friend about what happened.
I apparently called my buddy at 11:30 saying I wanted to go to meijers and get a carrot cake (I hate carrot cake). He came and got me shortly after. I vaguely remember getting in the car and being very confused. I thought other people were in the vehicle and couldn't focus on anything.
My friend said I was seeing double and complaining about a cat sitting on me.
Long story short, he didn't take me anywhere, instead took me inside and told me to sleep. He left shortly after.
I finially woke up at 10am laying on a wooden cross bridge over a little creek a few miles from my house. I have no memory of how I got there. I also walked the entire way without shoes and a sinlgle sock.
Why did I get so horribly messed up from my normal dose? I didn't consume any other substances and cant say there have been any changes in my nutrition/exercise or medications.
I don't want this to happen again. If I intended to get that messed up I would be ok with it, but I don't want to end up in the woods again when I just want some sleep.
