My doctor gave me a prescrip because my mind is racing every night and I can't sleep. I must say it works. No problems because I'm banded.

I take Ambien. I have been taking it for a very long time. I have no issues with it and my band.

I have been taking it for years and I have no problems other than the occasional funny things I do at night (so I'm told).

I take it and LOVE it, best night sleep I have in years about once a month I cant sleep but that is so much better then every night.

I was on it for a couple of years. I slept like a baby. Then I realized what I was occasionally doing while sleeping. I used to get up in the mornings and there would be all of this food cooked and put away in the fridge...I thought wow, what a great cook my roommate is. When my roommate moved out the food would still appear in my fridge. One night my brother was visiting and he said I got up around 2 am and proceeded to make a huge pot of vegetable soup, fixed us each a bowl, washed the dishes and then put it all away. I woke the next morning and asked him if he had trouble sleeping since he had been cooking in the middle of the night. Needless to say he thought I had lost my mind. For 2 years I was cooking in the middle of the night with absolutely no memory of it.

That's scary! This alone would prevent me from ever trying it!

How could that be? Weren't you exhausted all the time?

Back then I weighed 288 so I blamed being tired all of the time on that. It didn't happen every night...but often enough to scare me. I can only imagine how crazy I looked to my brother. My roommate never realized what was going on because we were rarely at home at the same time. I do miss that great sleep!

I take amiben too I love it

Yes to Ambien, no funny nocturnal activity though!

oh NO please stop taking Ambien....my mother use to take that for many years and as someone above mentioned cooking and not even remembering , well that was what my mom would do as well as lots of other strange things , sorry to say that my mom hung herself on March 24th 2011 . sure she had other medical problems but the ambien was a BIG factor to her suicide . you should look it up. scary stuff.

I have been taking it for years !! Love it ! Never had issues with the eating /cooking and not rember !!! I can't fall asleep without it

I take Ambien. It does make you do crazy things if you aren't careful. I was off of it for a long time because I realized I was sleep eating on it. So now I make sure I notice how much of everything there is before I sleep to make sure I know if it's happening again. Isn't that crazy?

Once in the middle of the day, I went to the store. Had no clue until the phone call I received 3 days later that I had backed into a guy in the parking lot. The guy put my bumper into the back of my car. I had no memory of it until he called for my insurance info. I told my mom about it. She said I had already told her the nite it happened. Don't recall a thing.

My dr told me that was a frequent complaint of ambien. He gave me an rx for Temazapam. Doesn't quite work as well, but Im not forgetting major life events anymore

I don't think thered be a problem with taking it with ur band.
