I have been depressed during my teen years, and changed to schizophrenia after taking all kinds of different medications, I think it's very bad to change medications around. However, I think I have a weird reaction with ambien. The first time, I took ambien was 10 years ago during some panic attacks, and just used it to calm down and went to sleep. Now whenever I take it, I feel like all physical/nerve pain goes away, no more anxiety/fear/most negative emotions after it kicks in, i feel energized in like a daze sort of mode. then about 1-3 hours, I go to sleep. If i take it during the day, same thing, except I can't sleep, maybe short nap. If i take 20mg, immediately all pain goes away and i feel like normal again, never tried more than 20mg at once yet...

Then when the effect goes away, i get nerve shifting pain and muscle cramps again.
