"i&#039;ve been taking ambien for almost a month now and i have to say, it is amazing. the first night i took it, it kicked in about 10 minutes later. i have never had such a good nights sleep. i woke up feeling energized and i had energy all day. the only weird thing that i experienced were mild hallucinations before i actually fell asleep. i sat down on the bed and apparently asked my husband &quot;when did we get a water bed?&quot; (we don&#039;t have a water bed). and also i asked him, &quot;when did we get pink and green sheets?&quot; (our sheets are white). other than that, nothing scary or frightening. i didn&#039;t get up in the middle of the night doing anything weird. when i did get up to use the restroom, i knew i was awake and i knew what i was doing."
