Is ENDOMETRIAL DISORDER a side effect of AMBIEN ? ( FactMed.com )

About this FactMed analysis covering adverse side effect reports of AMBIEN patients who developed ENDOMETRIAL DISORDER.

FactMed provides MD-approved analysis to help both patients, researchers, and physicians accurately assess the risk profile for more than 20,000 different pharmaceutical products. The below report offers compiled information from Food & Drug Administration and FactMed user submissions. Between January 2004 and October 2012, 3 individuals taking AMBIEN reported ENDOMETRIAL DISORDER to the FDA. A total of 32797 AMBIEN drug adverse event reaction reports were made with the FDA during this time period. Often the FDA only receives reports of the most critical and severe cases; these numbers may therefore underrepresent the complication rate of the medication.

QUESTION STRESS FRACTURE	teno 60 años y no puedo dormir en un programa escuche que lo unan para dor mir e n clinica del sueno lo podria tomar pa ra dormir sin ningun problrma	2015-01-20 21:26:55
QUESTION TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA	Can ambien cause or exacerbate trigeminal neuralgia?	2015-02-18 15:59:36
QUESTION SACCADIC EYE MOVEMENT	I have visual illusions that happen when I take Ambien in the time between I take it and the time it puts me to sleep. When I look at still images, they appear to be in 3D and move - like Harry Potter pictures. Even text becomes 3D, with lines or paragraphs closer or further away (picture scrolling intro to Star Wars). It's actually really fascinating to watch. I like looking at nature photos when it gets like this, because the animals look alive... breathing, moving legs. I started noticing the "animation" was more pronounced when I move my eyes, and that my eye movement itself is jerky instead of normal smooth, and I wonder if this is what causes the illusions. I was googling eye darting and Ambien and that led me to this site. Just wanted to toss the coin in the water. This side effect does not bother me, I find it interesting to experience. and the illusions are benign, like bunnies wiggling their whiskers. I am fully aware the whole time that I'm just looking at a pic and the drug is making me see funky (i.e. not delusions, not like I think the bunny is really there). I find it hard to believe there has been only 1 report of saccades associated with Ambien. Am I number 2, or what? Anyone want to do a case report? The effect happens reliably.	2015-03-25 00:44:20

QUESTION SUPRAVENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA	I have been taking 2.5 - 3.0 mg of ambien nightly for several years with very few breaks. About 2+ weeks ago I decided to stop. Coincidently I began to ache, was short of breath and very tired. I thought I had some kind of flu. Pain increased for 5 days culminating in severe (8-9) chest and back pain that woke me at 5 AM, lasting for about 10 minutes. They found nothing wrong at the ER but I just had a follow-up stress test that showed SVT. I will follow up next week with a cardiologist. I continue to be short of breath and have pressure in my chest. Do you suspect ambien withdrawal?	2015-04-29 20:24:43
QUESTION BLOOD CREATININE INCREASED	Just stop taking them. Class Cs aren't cndartinnicatioos to pregnancy, so it isn't a big deal, just don't take anymore.Last I knew, Ambien is a class B drug and is fine in pregnancy.	2015-07-13 05:37:45
QUESTION ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENT	That's the pecerft insight in a thread like this.	2015-07-13 09:26:57

CONCERN ALTERED VISUAL DEPTH PERCEPTION	Like others have reported, I do notice strange visuals after taking ambien. Sometimes text on the screen seems to move, especially if it's not in the center of my focus. 2D images appear to have depth, and even this text as I'm typing it occasionally feels like it has depth. I am particularly intrigued by this phenomenon because as a child i nearly lost vision in one eye and was diagnosed with having terrible depth perception. I would be fascinated to learn what ambien does to the visual cortex that might explain this, and which might even help treat people like me with depth perception disorders.	2016-04-14 03:56:38
