Donut,
First of all how do you get so many pills of Ambien? I was taking Ambien for a couple of months towards the end of last year cause I have a hell of a time trying to sleep. My doctor would prescribe a months supply (30 pills). You said you take 20 a day!!!!??? How do you get so many? Does your doctor really prescribe that many?
My dosage was for 1 tablet before bedtime, as I'm sure is the dosage for most people. Some nights instead of just taking 1 tablet I would take 1 1/2. Although I never did get hooked on these pills I can see how it would be easy to do so. I've been hooked on other prescription pills before. The reason I stopped the Ambien is cause when I would take 1 1/2 tablets at once, I would have total memory loss. My girlfriend would tell me the next morning that I scared her to death cause I was saying really strange **** and just generally acting drugged up. I don't remember any of it, and that happened on several occasions. She said on more than one occasion she was going to call 911 cause she was scared of me. I did't get violent or anything like that, just really weird. Are you experiencing any memory loss?
You really do need to tell your doctor about this, cause it's quite dangerous taking that many pills a day. And you might also want to consider taking Kava Kava or Valerian Root instead. They are herbal pills that promote a calming effect, I'm currently taking them and they do work. They don't have the same knock-out effect as prescription sleeping pills, but they are safer. Good luck to you.
