Can the drug Ambien (NOT CR) have any paradoxical effects?

Question

I haven't taken it in years. Back then I had to take 25mg at a time because I was undiagnosed with another condition and 10mg just didn't work. Tonight we're trying 10mg again because I still have insomnia and Seroquel gives me residual somnolence the following morning. The thing is, I'm afraid to try it, because I'm pretty keyed up and angry at the moment and I'm afraid it might bump me higher rather than putting me to sleep. Any thoughts?

Answer 1

Take a god hard and fast walk for a few blocks, come back then take the pill and go to bed.
