I'm not 100% sure that this is the same thing, but I started taking Ambien 2 months ago to help w/ restless sleep associated w/ my depression. At first, if I slept beyond 8 hrs I would have bad, anxious dreams and my heart would be pounding and I would be out of breath. It felt like a mini panic attack. This didn't seem to happen if I got up after 8 hrs. Eventually this side effect(?) seemed to go away. I must say that overall my experience has been very positive w/ Ambien.
