i used it daily for a couple years and had no idea the impact it was having on me. i was an angry, irritable, grumpy person, and i completely changed when i finally stopped taking it.

i had an addiction but didnt abuse it. it got to the point that i craved ambien during the day for reasons i can't even explain. i just inexplicably wanted to take it. i wasnt even taking full pills of the usual dose, i usually cut them in half.

it took me a long time to learn to put my phone away before taking it. i would text people i was causally dating overly romantic and loving things and have zero memory of it. thankfully whenever it happened the people involved always just thought it was funny, and i did have the awareness to preface those texts with "maybe its just bc i took some ambien". After a few dates with someone i warned them i take ambien and might text them something stupid but loving, so they were well prepared
