I tried Ambien exactly twice. That first morning, I was ecstatic - I'd never slept so well before! But my reflexes and reaction times were still off and I promptly slid on snow and hit a post that tore up the front end of my car. After a day of dealing with the insurance company, the body shop and the car-rental place, I took Ambien again that night - and promptly wrecked the rental car the next day. That was when the light dawned that that shit was dangerous. And then my sister e-mailed me anecdotal accounts of people sleep-eating, sleep-driving, sleep-fucking and more than one person who woke up outside totally naked. I flushed the rest. *sigh* Too good to be true...
I did OK with the brown cloth-like adhesive, but the clear stuff is a total disaster - the adhesive melts and slides around on my nose and my skin broke out.
