Also, i am less likely to procrastinate

PS: DO NOT DRIVE ON AMBIEN

That's awful. Is it permanent?

nope...lasts about 8 hours

...so you can finally enjoy yourself at those parties

Is this a joke or something?

This is isn't a cure for aspergers its drug abuse please get help drugs weren't designed to be used that way

that stuff either doesn't work at all, or makes me so damn high i can't walk a straight line or really even sit up.

I'm not promoting drug abuse whatsoever, but I can understand where this guy is coming from 100%. It was not long ago that I discovered Codeine made me feel pretty much the same, everytime I go out I am paranoid that someone will stop me and accuse me of stealing, because I am very depressed and have a nasty temper on me this is my worst nightmare because while I might not be in trouble for stealing, situations like that with me have potential to go VERY nasty because of my anger issues left over from abuse in a care scheme 2 years ago. I spose I look the look to be followed by security in shops, I seldom wear makup and don't sleep much so I look like a drug addict (which I partly am), and taking these pills kind of wakes me up and changes my grungy posture, and give me the cofidence to cope without lashing out or cussing should any situation develop anytime, it has even made my relationship with my bf better because if I take them when I'm really badly depressed it helps me hide it. I also suffer with very bad hormonal problems, which cause me to behave like I am mentaly and physicaly ill, the drugs basicaly cover up who I really am, plus they destroy the headaches that are linked to some kind of hormonal inbalance and kept me trapped in the house most days, I;ve never seen as much of the outside as I do when I take them. All I'm saying is don't be so quick to judge someone using drugs without getting the full story.

I take it that Ambien is some type of sedative.

Like all sedatives, they can remove anxiety, social anxiety, but they suddenly won't make you "socialize" any better than what you can. They'll just take away some of your inhibitions due to fear and anxiety. Alcohol has a similar effect.

They don't do anything for me; I can take high doses of Valium, Xanax, you name it, and all it does to me is remove some of my anxiety; the doses needed to remove it all kinda drop me on the spot. It doesn't help me socialize at all.

It's a good way to tell if you're experiencing social anxiety or a social impairment, and which one is the greater of your problems.

I just checked, it's a sedative-hypnotic; Valium and other minor tranqs have the same sedative-hypnotic effect, it's just that they're more potent and have the greater potential to cause chemical addiction.

My point still stands however, anything that has an anti-anxiety effect will remove anxiety to some extent, and if one finds that they can then socialize better due to taking an anti-anxiety medication; it's social anxiety rather than the autism, or autism.

Ambien was one of the drugs taken by the actor Heath Ledger that resulted in his accidental death by suicide...

I hate Ambien. The first time I took it, it actually made it harder for me to sleep. I felt really weird and anxious. I had to work the next morning, and I felt hung-over, dizzy, and uncoordinated all day. Just like I had drank way too much the night before and was still intoxicated.

I took it several more times. It started to help me sleep, with no adverse effects, but I had to double my dose each night. I don't remember any withdrawal when I stopped taking it.

I have that pain in the chest since ever. I discovered that if i eat, it goes away. And i can then do all the things normal poeples do. wow a cure! But the effects disapear after a couple hours, and i have to eat again.... am I a drug addict ? (I hope you all get the sarcasm....)

Anti-anxiety medications (and certain antidepressants) work wonders for me, as far as feeling well is concerned, but they tend to make me terrible from the social point of view. I become blunt and uninhibited in expressing my emotions, and seem to lose any sense of barrier between me and others. From the reactions of others, it looks like I frequently come across as emotionally invasive. I don't mean manic, either; I can be quite calm or even feel down, and still be this.

At least social anxiety (or the anxiety that comes with depression, with me it is difficult to tell which is which) creates some sort of artificial barrier between me and other people. When the anxiety is gone and the barrier is bridged, my natural lack of distance emerges, and it is not always nice. It is something of a frightening feeling to suddenly realize that I feel as if I were at home, even though I am in the workplace, and have been trying to treat my colleagues as if they were my friends. But then I have next to no clue about what "formal relationships" are all about, so there.
