When I take Ambien, I experience a clarity and a freedom from the fears and inhibitions that bind me. I feel a glowing sense of safety and optimism. I feel like a frog floating on a lily pad, almost weightless, and free from cares. I write more freely and can tap into the creative chamber of my mind that is locked up during my normal day.
It's different from alcohol. Alcohol makes me *feel* differently. But Ambien makes me *think* differently. I'm on Ambien right now, and I feel very well. I feel in touch with sensuality, not sexuality, but the world of the senses. And also, this whole unexplored territory inside my mind.
Can others share their experiences with Ambien? Why does Ambien cause these effects?

Well, like it says in the Bible - I can't remember if it's in the Gospel of John or in the Epistles of Paul - but it's in there somewhere:
"Turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream"
I don't really know if I enjoy the effects of Ambien or not. It gives me about 15 minutes of retrograde amnesia.
I remember when I first started taking Ambien (Summer 2001) I heard that it was sometimes abused. I know drug abuse is serious, but I couldn't stop laughing at the notion of a bunch of guys in a bachelor party type setting, and somebody breaks out the Ambein…15 minutes later everyone is out cold. 4 hours later everyone wakes up and wants to know if they had a good time, but nobody can remember for sure...

I know what you mean. I've had mornings where my husband tells me we've had some great sex the night before I can't remember it.
