Ambien to me is a miracle. My quality of life is much better being able to sleep
watching while on an ambien dose. My God I would love to be in your garden£
Ambien has been a nightmare for me. I took the last one two nights ago. Very weird behaviours and next morning. Example, I was up and out of bed for over an hour and realized that I had put 3 pair of pants on and only realized when I went to use the bathroom. Totally shocked because I had zero memory of doing this. I suffer PTSD from childhood, BIpolar one and ADHD & Insomnia.
I've been taking ambien for one year every single night. I am on day 3 of not taking it. The first night was brutal, the second night was better bc I actually got some sleep. Last night was okay too. I implemented CBT techniques that I learned on the Insomnia Coach podcast with Martin Reed. I have a history of addiction and began to notice that I was getting addicted to the euphoric feeling that ambien was giving me so I was determined to get off of it. Bc of the history of addiction I could not wean off, I had to go cold turkey. So far so good with the last two nights. The quality of natural sleep is much different than sleep produced by ambien. I am waking up clear headed and feel rested. I highly recommend the Insomnia Coach podcast, it certainly helped me.

Ambien is addictive and will eventually lead to dementia
Funny / scary story: In September, 2014 when I was 59 I was taking Ambien every night. I often rode my bicycle early in the morning before work. At the 6 mile point in a 12 mile loop I noticed I was rather chilly. I looked down and realized I was not wearing shorts! Just my underwear! Two weeks later, I was biking in the dark (with lights / reflective gear), and was hit by a car that pulled out in front of me. I think I probably could’ve stopped in time, but was delayed - by the Ambien. I was also taking Gabapentin, so I was seriously impaired. I was hurt, but eventually made a full recovery. I’ve stopped all of that and I’m way better off now!
I’ve been on ambien for years. I didn’t know anything about how the duration of use was addictive, or any of the other information you just gave us. Thank you! I recently found out that I have one marker of the gene that can be related to late onset Alzheimer’s. My father, grandmother, and several Aunts have died of Alzheimer’s. I’m finding out as much as I can how medications and food can affect my brain. I’m done taking ambien. Might make for tough nights ahead but it’s worth it in the long run.

Smart. I use a Melatonin gummies to allow me to start to relax and get tired . It helps me a lot
I think they need to stop with daylight savings time
been taking Ambien every night for 2+ years. gained 25 pounds. don't sleep without it. now doctor has to see me every 3 months. I want to sleep without a drug of any kind.
I am 72 with long standing insomnia possibly related to idiopathic hypersomnia. I could teach the class on CBT-I. Melatonin does nothing, nor does seroquel, mirtazapine, Zyprexa. I hate that my sleep dr has turned my insomnia over to my psychiatrist bc he’s never even heard of idiopathic hypersomnia. I always fall asleep quickly but cannot stay asleep. Ambien sometimes works, sometimes not. I accept that at least I’m “resting” when I don’t sleep but after 5-6 nights of very fragmented sleep, I’m nearly psychotic. I find sleep meditation music annoying so I listen to books on tape. Fall asleep quickly but wake up w/in an hr and repeat all night long. This lack of sleep is definitely affecting my physical health. Got Long Covid, now have pulmonary embolisms. Even though I feel relaxed when I go to be and have good sleep hygiene no Dr will help me! I’m not depressed, I’m not anxious, I just cannot stay asleep. 2-3 nights of this is ok but after that I become very teary and obviously exhausted.
A friend of mine over 60 i think she takes it every night for years, i have tried to suggest it should only be used rarely, and sleep hygiene but , i sent her this , but as Ben Franklin said if had more time i would write a shorter letter. i strongly suggest you do a you tube 3 min, summarize your main points, this is way too long i am sure she and most people will not watch it,. You must know in school when you take 12 page paper to 3 pages it is much better.
I was on Ambien for about 10 years and for those years it worked beautifully. I got 7-8 hours sleep and had great dreams etc. I tried to stop using it and whenever I tried I would not sleep at all. It then stopped working last year after I had an accident (not Ambien-related). I now have severe insomnia and am going through hell. I wish I had never taken Ambien and tried other things such as CBT at the time. At this point CBT would not work for me. My Dr just kept refilling it for many years and never warned me of the dangers. I also am feeling some cognitive issues. Don't try it if you can help it. And the irony is that initially when I went on it I only had mild insomnia, nothing too major.
I have been taking Ambien for 15 years but only 2 or 3 times a month when I am desperate for shut eye. No issues. I hope that's okay.
Thank you, Dr. Sullivan.
Doctors, unfortunately, put all their patients in categories. I have been taking sleep meds for years. Since I am now 69 my Dr. Is telling me before I retire, (the doctor, not me) they will have to stop my sleep meds, she is worried what my NEXT Dr.will think.🤔 I may be 69 but I am also hypervigilant. I have neuropathy pain & take neurontin. The neurologist I went to said he would be asleep at his desk if he took as much neurontin as I take and the only thing it does for me is keep the pain low enough so I can drive, I still have pain but it is manageable. My Dr is not taking into consideration how wired I am. It makes me angry that Drs Don't seem to see people over 65 as individuals, you are a category. I would like to know if anyone else reading this has run into being lumped into a category because they are over 65.
I've had severe insomnia for years and it is the worst....once i wake up almost impossible to get back to sleep. I've been taking 20mg Ambien for the last year or so, but never get more than 5 1/2 to 6 hours, sometimes less, so still feel exhausted, and have to concentrate at a stressful job. I'm sure what you mentioned about high cortisol does affect me greatly. I try to physically exhaust myself as well, which does seem to help. Would love to get off Ambien, but i need to sleep...a vicious cycle.

I am 44 year's old, I believe this is all great information and education. I am a cancer survivor, have PTSD and Severe Insomnia, I also have Petit-Mal & a few Grand -Mal seizures. I have taken Ambien since it was pushed by drug Reps. I have never had any problems with abuse, or suicidal thoughts. I absolutely hate Melatonin, I have taken this quick dissolve tablet that tastes like wild cherries....makes me wanna puke. I have taken the oral tablets as well, it will make you sleepy like eating a turkey dinner (tryptophan, ) I believe. If it's not broke, don't fix it. Amboen works for me, but it doesn't mean that it will work for everyone.
Thank you for all your work on with all your studies!! God bldss you Doctor!

I am particularly interested in how it might affect children long term, as I know kids who have been taking them. Thank you in advance!!
I completely agree with you on this.
I lost an entire weekend after I took only 1 dose of Ambien for insomnia. I took it on a Friday and then next thing I remember is waking on Monday. I have no memory of what happened Sat or Sun. Thank goodness I wasnt living alone at the time but renting a room from a friend. When the roommate and I were talking on Mon night there was mention about where we went to eat and shopping over the weekend. I had no memory of that. I never took Ambien again and never will. That was back in 2008.

I have Severe insomnia and have had it most my life. I’m tired of being a dependent on all my different sleep meds as Ambien is that the only one i’m on. I’m going start weening myself every other day just from the Ambien to start, then every 2 andso on. Wish me luck? I know now i’m in serious trouble if I don't stop.

Thank you for this informative video. I’m 69 and I was desperate to get sleep. I had used benzos for some years and then had gradually gotten off of them for several more (without any difficulty). I don’t have addiction issues. But my insomnia returned with incessant rumination, so my doctor prescribed 5 mg Ambien which I’ve been using nightly for over a month without any issues that you mention. I’ll try the melatonin you recommend, though I’ve tried it in the past without much success.
I started taking ambien 18 years ago after my husband died ..I have im sure built a tolerance to the drug ..I'm 65 now I dont have much of any of the side effects now but 18years ago I did ..I haven't taken it for a week now because I really don't think it helps anymore ..I sleep mayne 3 hours a night ..I have a very physical job and have no problem doing that ...
I'm 65 & a Truck Driver, I've been taking Ambien for over 10 years. I usually take about 3mg & it puts me out in about 10 mins. I never had any side effects. It's been a life saver for me. It's all about moderation. Thank you for the very informative video👍

3 mg seems like a good amount, if I were you I'd never go higher than that.
I enjoyed watching this video. I learned a lot of useful information about Ambien that I didn't know before.
My sleep doctor recently prescribed Ambien, but I am extremely hypersensitive to it somehow. Since realizing that a 5mg pill has far too much of an effect on me, I've tried dividing the pills as small as possible, and I've only been taking 1/3 of a 5mg pill and only on Saturday nights. It still gives me additional fatigue and cognitive impairment for days after taking it. It's Monday, I've had around 4 cups of coffee followed by an energy drink with 257mg of caffeine, and I still feel like I've had no caffeine at all today. I'm wondering if this could be an indication of something with my brain, like perhaps too much GABA activity before the addition of Ambien. ??
I am a Marine vet and ambien helps along with sleep hygiene
I have been on Ambien since it came on the market, originally to treat circadian rhythm disorder. When I sleep no longer matters, but I do experience horrific nightmares when I don't take it. I'll take my chances on the side effects (which I have not experienced) over the night terrors.
I tried both Ambien and melatonin. Ambien is alright, but melatonin makes me dream "crispy" and awake refreshed. Long time insomnia sufferer + sleep apnea.
My psychiatrist prescribed it to me when I was 17 I’m now 28….. I’ve been taking it all this time to get high off it and it’s the best kind of high to me I’m pretty sure I’m addicted since I’m in Pakistan I can just buy it online without prescription I’m so beyond scared cause it makes me say and do shit I’d never do without it I take like maybe 6 a day it’s so bad for me I’m high alllll the time it’s so so good for anxiety

I was prescribed Ambien 12 years ago and i have taken it every single night. I hate it but cant sleep without it. I will get twitching and brain zaps. I have tried to taper off but I cant sleep without it. Im scared of getting sick and now I think im addicted to it. Nobody warned me of all the sude effects. I didnt even have insomnia to begin with not even sure why Dr prescribed it for me and silly me i started to take it trusting her. I really regret it.
I think you need to be really careful with all sleep medicines, they all can be really screwy.
My friend has been on it for over 25 years.
Thank you, Dr. Sullivan for this wonderful video. I just threw out all the zolpidem extended release tablets I had in my house. I took it last night and it was a fitful night of not very good sleep. I think the regular zolpidem 5 mg tablets are better but I rarely take them at all. I am 66 yrs old and have had insomnia off and on for over a year and follow sleep hygiene guideliness and take doxepin 10 mg and my doctor added gabapentin (400 - 600 mg - which I may not want to take for very long). Those helped me a lot.

Does Ambien have to be taken every night? I have multiple sleep difficulties every night, but if I could just take something once or twice a week for a nice restful night’s sleep, I think I could cope with the other nights.
I’ve been on Ambien for 65 years since 1970 till now I wanna get off I’m gonna try every other day and then every third day maybe I need a muscle relaxer I don’t know I’ll talk to my doctor thank you for your help

So much appreciate your videos. Has taught me so much. Question. I ordered the melatonin you suggested but what is the dozes recommended.
I use it in the daytime as I'm desperate to quell the nerves and panic I get every single morning. It works wonders but has led me into misadventure.

I ordered the weighted blanket too as a gift and it was a big win. I have been taking Lunesta for ten years. The doctor and I are tapering slowly and am down to 2mg.

I will of course discuss your video at my next appointment with the neurologist who prescribed Ambien
Ambien stole an entire summer from me. My short term memory disappeared while allowing me tglitches. I went off it cold turkey. That was over 15 years ago. My short term memory still has glitches.
Have you any information on Lunesta addictions?
I’m 69 and been on Zolpidem for 5 years. No side effects, but I am concerned about dependency. I’ve explored CBT-I, but waiting lists are long and the treatment is cost prohibitive (doctors do not accept Medicare patients). Are on-line CBT-I treatments effective?
I’ve been taking Ambien for awhile and it still doesn’t work I can actually go months without sleeping it’s actually caused my body to have seizures a few times because I was so exhausted and after a while of no sleep it feels hallucinating and it is absolute torture. I try to go to the gym too because it used to help me sleep better now when I go it’s not working anymore I’m concerned I tell my doctor but there is really not much he can do

As a teacher I need sleep and ambian helps me sleep for 5 hours at least
This drug is NOT going to be good for anyone with actual anxiety disorders. Was on it five years. Began taking it earlier and earlier just feel halfway relaxed in the evening. Tolerance and dependencies are going to 100% develop which will sooner or later launch you into a death spiral. I just blew through a months worth in a week, a week ago. I have never gone to sleep and woke up and have done something wacky, but I've certainly had plenty of outright blackouts taking it well before I would go to sleep. Finally I took enough to launch me into total brain meltdown and apparently made a bunch of phone calls where I would apparently just repeat myself over and over along with call people back. I also had zero control over all the random stuff I was saying not maliciously, but a bunch of confidential things I can't imagine why would even be a conversation with other individuals. Withdrawals? Vomiting, headache, dread, anxiety, insomnia, and clouded thinking. Long term side effects? My insomnia was worse after developing a tolerance. I would wake up after 4 hours and not be able to sleep. Also, I began having significant short term memory issues. I would say this garbage doesn't even help you sleep per se. It just shuts off PART of your brain while the rest is running. I never felt like I was fully rested. This medication is such a double edged sword that just using it for consecutive days is bad. I could only see a use for this stuff if you havent slept in days and absolutely needed to sleep for something that needed to be done the next day.

These are like electrical discharges in your head. They have gradually reduced in frequency. They stop when I open my eyes. Is that weird or what. After a year I still get woken up with them. And I still wake up every hour and a half. Tylenol PM helps, but I worry about the side effects of that. Sleep remains a frustrating experience for me.

Basically, be responsible when asking for and taking a dose of Ambien, just like you should with any OTHER medications. Why should I not be granted a prescription because of those irresponsible people out there that do mix their drugs? I get so much more enjoyment in my life (as a senior citizen) after having a good-night’s sleep. I do practice sleep hygiene, I take a dose, and I prepare to sleep. It is very easy when you follow the rules on your prescription bottle. Don’t deprive me of deep sleep because of those patients that abuse the drug. Senior citizens are more likely than younger people to fall and break a bone whether they take Ambien or not.
😢 THE PROBLEM HERE is that, though some of your beliefs are correct. Some of them are not. My sleep insomnia has gone on for eight years. I have crossed over to a problem that has not been researched. It's not the same as what people have, that have been affected with insomnia for a much shorter amount of time.

Ambiem causes me blurry vesion even the next day
To say that Ambien only acts mildly better than a placebo is pure ignorance. My life in the Navy was hell before Ambien. Later in your vid, you say Ambien negatively effects cognition the next morning. You can't have it both ways. It can't both be only slightly better than a placebo and it'll fuck you up the next day. This is a conman tactic of Psychologists. You wanna get paid without actually doing anything. The drug works. This was my original post: I hate how strictly Ambien is regulated. I understand the risks associated with it. I also understand how my life is without it, even a year or more, long after it's completely out of my system. My life is dramatically better with 10 - 20 mg of Ambien a day. Of course, I can only get prescribed 10mg a day which isn't enough for me, on average.

I've just never in my life heard of anyone taking that much unless they were suicidal.
