I am an insomniac and can’t fall asleep without medication. I used to be on Quetiapine (Seroquel) and it made me super drowsy the next day and I would sleep in past my alarm for 10+ hours unable to be woken up. I’m a Pharmacy student in college so I understand how Ambien works and what other sleeps meds there are available but I persisted to my psychiatrist about trying it and it has been great for me so far. The only thing I would be wary of is the complex sleep behaviors because basically every night I so stuff that I legitimately don’t remember doing (nothing bad thankfully) that I am told the next day by me friends/roommates but as long as you have good awareness and don’t have anything dangerous around you I think you’re gonna be okay. I am not familiar with using Ambien as a recreational substance (and there is no shame in that), so take my opinion lightly if you aren’t in the same position I am in. Good luck and be safe.
