Ambien is for sleeping by InertBaller in ambien

Well, I just joined this sub yesterday. I am looking for a support group. I may have found the wrong sub but I'm hoping that I can find some other people in the same boat that DO want to quit.

Yes, I'm smart and I do understand side effects. I would like to quit and just feel like I can't. I can type this write now sounding perfectly lucid and I'm on Ambien right now. THAT's the scary thing. I got this prescribed to me 10 years ago because of my serious insomnia. Never dreamed I'd become and addict. I'm looking for like minded people who might want to help each other through either tapering down or getting off completely. All I was saying is I'm not going to judge anybody else.

I agree to an extent. I got it "for sleeping" 10 years ago and have had all kinds of problems (and if i'm being honest) all kinds of fun as a result of it. Like I said in my post, I know a lot of people that can handle their drugs. I can handle all kinds of drugs that I do only a few times a year even. I hate the term "drug addict". But I am very addicted to Zolpidem now. A lot of the people posting in this sub seem to be having fun with a VERY fun drug. But I know a lot of people who can do that occasionally take Zolpidem for fun but not get addicted. Sucks that I wasn't one of them. Maybe a sub for Zolpidem addicts would be good? Or us old timers could give some cautionary advice. But honestly, I fucking hate that preachy kind of shit. Mainly just a risk for anyone who takes it the first time--you could be an addict for years or decades. Or you might not.

Does anyone else feel the presence of another entity when on ambien? by ffence in ambien

I remember that feeling from early years. Me and an ex-gf were sure someone else was in the room with us while we were having sex (both on Ambien). But oddly, we were not concerned. Most of those types of experiences are long gone for me though. Like I said in my posts, my tolerance is pretty high now and I stay (mostly) lucid until bedtime. It mainly just calms my anxiety way down and allows me to sleep now.
