Doc gave me some today coz I can't sleep but watched a few videos on YouTube of people on them & read up a bit about them, they seem f***ing mental !!!
Didn't take any tonight as I bottled it after seeing some of the nutters on YouTube on them, just wondered if any of you have had any experience of them...... They also go by the name of ambien

Hardcore sleeping pills - many years ago (1997) I was perscribed the strongest dose ones after an accident as I couldn't sleep.

First time I took one I ended up in an ambulence to Sussex County hospital.

It wasn't the 1 pill that did it, aparrantly, once i had taken one I was so out of it, that i took 3 more (without even knowing i did it), the only thing i remembered was taken 1 in the kitchen, sitting at the kitchen table and then next coming round in sussex county with my mum there!! I was found in the street by a neighbour in my dressing gown talking gibberish to myself and they called the ambulence, though i didn't remember a thing. It shit me right up..... i never took them again.

my advice would be to take 1 when you're in bed already, and leave the others well away somewhere safe... just be careful as its very strong shit and you will be out of it.....

whatever you do don't take 4 !

Think I might give em a miss all together mate as I keep on hearing all these kind of stories.
Even if I'm in bed I've heard that people get up & sleepwalk & or talk but are still aware of their surrounding so you can actually have a convo with someone who thinks your awake but it's not actually your conscious mind as you are asleep (if that makes sense)
Also hallucinations & a few deaths reported where people have fallen from buildings ect.... Only wanted a coupleof Valium or something to help me not be so on edge when my sick son is sleeping but apparently they are too bad because they are addictive.
I'm starting to think my doc don't like me very much lol

I think you should discuss your worries with your GP, if he/she is unwilling to give straight answers I'd seek a second opinion.

That shit nearly split up me and my girlfriend.

Although totally addicted to them she was ok if she hadn't had a drink -just basically knocked out. But with even a sniff of alchohol she'd go mental and end up taking loads of them and turn into a nutter. A few times she proper abused me, fell down the stairs and once ended up walking round our estate at 2am in november wearing a nighty and a scarf :lolol: :facepalm:
In the end I said get off them or we're finished and she had to be weaned off them, apparently you can't just stop on the amount she was taking or your body goes into shock.

I've had them a few times when I couldn't sleep after a heavy clubbing session and they do knock you out, but as a first prescription it seems a bit heavy duty to give you them the first time. I've asked the bird for a recommendation and she said if you can get away with nitol it's better than going down the prescription route like she did. If not ask about Zopiclone, you can get a weaker 3.5mg pill which won't get you hooked as easy.

They sound f***ing awful mate, yeah don't think nitol would touch me & I've had zopiclon before Wich are not bad, do give me a rank taste in my mouth but maybe I'll ask to give them a try again, I've got a massive tolerance to things like diazepam so doubt he'll give me anything like that, got another appointment in an hour coz there's no way I'm taking these zolpidem things lol

Sounds like her story, kept getting a tolerance to other stuff and ended up on stronger pills each time and eventually addicted to zopidem.

Get youself the Palace 2010/11 season review. Thats sure to send you to sleep.

Other sound advice would be to exercise, always helps tire you out and i always have a good nights sleep after some form of serious exercise

Doc should probably have prescribed just a few of them, maybe 14 pills and told you to use them maybe for 3 nights and then see how you go without them or use them only once or twice a week. Well that's what mine did. Perfect for when you've had so much lost sleep that you don't know if you are coming or going, but used constantly they are apparently very addictive and work less well as time fgoes on so you end up taking more and more according to some of the horror stories on the internet. They should not be available automatically on repeat prescription I would hope.

you see the time of my post and when it was light about 3.50am I went down stairs and made tea.
I think my insomnia is caused by some of the drugs I take for diabetes(metformin) it is a bugger particularly as there is some much shite on the TV at that time
