Fuck yea! My Doc had prescribed me a rather large supply, and of course, I always took more than prescribed. I've woken up, butt ass naked in front of the refrigerator - eating everything in site. I've had insomnia most my life, and this help - a lot. But the side effects were to much.
My job is demanding, so I need to sleep at least 5 hours a night. I used to say Ambien was like turning out the lights, On minute you're awake and the next you're out. For me, I started waking up in the middle of the night and taking more, which really fucked me up. My wife, and ER nurse, started hiding them from me and dispensing them to me like a four year old.
Now I use Kava, Melatonin, doxylamine succinate, and benadryl. On Sunday nights, I take Xanax and restoril (spelling?). Works much better, but my Nazi wife is tight with the dosages. Oh yea, I take a lot of adderall, too.
I used to take tons of Tylonal PM, until she took me too a liver transplant unit at her hospital.

I've taken Ambien/Zolpidem for two years now and I can sometimes get the mouth side effect you talk about. Does it also taste a bit metallic? I've figured out that it'd branding (or at least for me). Some brand names it doesn't happen with (and they're prescribed so it's not even a dodgy batch).
Also, regarding the guy who had to retake it in the middle of the night -- me too! I did some research and the half life is only 2-3 hours. After being on it a while I'd wake up after 2.5 hours and need more.
I find the most effective in knocking me out is Quietiapine (Seroquel) and was on that for a long time, but it does have residual effects the next day if you take a high dosage.

Ambien can be fucking crazy IMO. I have never taken MXE or K but have taken enough DXM to be a bit out of it but no trip. My girlfriend and I were trying to detox off of opiates and if you know anything about the withdraw it is fucking hell and you can't sleep and have horrible restless legs especially while laying down. My GF boss gave her a small handfull of Ambien to help us get some sleep. Well the first night on Ambien was our last I'll just say that. We each took two 10mg pills and within a couple of hours were hallucinating. It was horrible the worst thing ever while withdrawing trying to sleep. I saw a fucking naked ferry fly out of my closet.
FUCK AMBIEN

I know the Ambien in the mid 90s was amazing. The weird thing was it was like truth serum for me. After about 15 minutes I'd just start saying whatever was on my mind to whoever. I didn't take them for about 10 years and now the Ambien is different. I can take them and stay awake, the old ones would knock me out in about a half hour. Plus the new Ambien only seems to last for only like 5 or 6 hours of sleep. Ambien used to be a fun drug.

Small doses are like super Xanax to me. I feel relaxed, get tired, lay down, and fall asleep. Now if I take lots of it to get fucked up and stay awake on purpose, that's when all hell starts to break loose. You basically induce the sleepwalking side effect of the drug, causing you to fall into an almost-sleep where you indeed hallucinate and feel like you're tripping BALLS (cause you are lol). I took a bunch one time while sitting in my car, then without even thinking I went home, got my keys, and started to drive around the neighborhood at 4AM yelling out the window about how fake everything feels. Later that night I went to drop my friend off and lightly scratched like 3 parked cars along the way with my mirror. He was freaking out while I was still laughing and saying "nah man, fuck that, this is all a dream". I then parked my car a few blocks away for no reason only to walk back to his house, again for no reason. All I remember after that is waking up to a phone call telling me to check my car. Hey, the experience was fun, but only because I was lucky. This is the only time I ever took a drug and actually "lost" my ego or whatever the hell it is that keeps you tied to reality.
tl;dr it's fun and trippy if you take large doses and stay up but make sure you're with a responsible, sober (<-- that was my mistake lol) person and FFS have them hide your keys!!!
