Been on Ambien & Seraquel (a psychotropic drug with a side effect of sleep) for years!! Recently close friends wondered if I had dementia...I could not form sentences well...I withdrew as it was easier than trying to act normal, and I kept triggering everyone...,.Went to new Dr. yesterday who prescribed 30mg in am & pm... I was so scared last night and to my surprise I slept!!n So much more to learn..Thank GOD this is being understood..I was NOT an alcoholic..I was an untreated ADHDer!

Results like this are actually not uncommon. The way that adderall put you to sleep, a dose of the lowest strength ambien made me wired as if I were on meth. I was surprised when my doctor told me that paradoxical reactions like thaylt aren't uncommon. There's a story of ambien waking people up from a coma, so who really knows.
