"i was on a cross country flight and took ambien in hopes of sleeping through the ordeal. i have severe anxiety when it comes to flying and a (seemingly unattainable) dream of mine is to be able to board, pass out, wake up when we land. i took two ambien and was rewarded with some mild symptoms of intoxication, a headache, and a few weepy spells. 

i thought this medication would do what i needed but now i guess i officially know there&#039;s no way to snuff out my nerves."
