Ambien is a really funny drug. The first few months I took it it worked great for my insomnia, but I never got anything else out of it. Then all of a sudden one night I was on AIM chatting and there were these little rainbow people dancing around my monitor and I was supposed to be babysitting them and they came out of the screen and were yanking on my shirt and screaming and it was so weird. Then it didn't happen again for a couple of months. Then for about 4 months, I took ambien litterally every night, and every single night I got high as a kite after 30 min of taking it -- hallucinations, drunk-type-euphoria, unbalanced equilibrium, lowered inhabitions (very much so), intense visuals, and the next day I only remembered about 1/2 or less of the night before. Then I was started on some other psych drugs and now I get the fun effects every 3-4 months, but I still love it. It truly is a Wonder Drug, for it's intended purpose and recreational use.
