snip trip

I took ambien once at the end of summer vaction in HS to flip me back into daytime mode. Normal adult dosage is 10mg, which is also the max dosage. I started with a 5mg and ended up staying awake because the effects were so interesting. In particular, I remember one leg being longer than the other. 5 more mg proceeded to knock me flat on my ass.

Warning to SB from ambien.com:

A variety of abnormal thinking and behavior changes have been reported to occur in association with the use of sedative/ hypnotics. Some of these changes may be characterized by decreased inhibition (eg, aggressiveness and extroversion that seemed out of character), similar to effects produced by alcohol and other CNS depressants. Other reported behavioral changes have included bizarre behavior, agitation, hallucinations, and depersonalization. Amnesia and other neuropsychiatric symptoms may occur unpredictably. In primarily depressed patients, worsening of depression, including suicidal thinking, has been reported in association with the use of sedative/hypnotics.
