i know i have gotten out of the control with ambien and abused it a bit. this is my last refill (3rd bottle) which came in 30 pills at 10mg each.

i know my tolerance would up so id up it and last nite i took 2 pills.

i was fine a bit ago. its almost 5 in the afternoon now.

i swear my vision has just gone out. blurry. cant see things far. cant see things upclose. everything is blurry on the computer, my mother a few feet away us blurry.

i notice i fall a lot when taking ambien, and i know i hit the back of my head last nite on my headboard but not anything real hard or anything i havent done worse in an accident..and i was fine a bit ago?!?

would this be the ambien thats doing this? i usually have 20.20 vision and not seeing clearly is scary

my book doesnt mention vision problems from overdose so best see a doctor, the max dose is given as 10 so 20 isnt all that huge an overdose

you need to co operate with all sleeping pills and to expect all of them to eventually stop working

Yes, this is definitely because of Ambien. I think you were on it, when you wrote your message! I was a big Ambien popper and it made me nuts sometimes. Once I wwent to a party down the street and didn't remember going at all. I used to make phone calls and not have any recollection the next day. And just like you I had vision problems. But it worked and I slept, which was a miracle for me. But like all the other meds, I can't take it anymore because I abused it. Good Luck.
