Legal Prescription meds question...

My dr perscribed me Ambien a few weeks ago and I have noticed that I do some freaking weird things while on it. I spent 8 straight hours editing all of the photos in a series… to my suprise they were pretty freakin great. So, my qustion is…. what does it do you you when you take it and just get bogged down in other things and forget to go to sleep. I’m not talking about intentionally misusing the meds, but if this has happened to you what are some of your stories. I find it makes me really creative and productive in my chosen field, photography and editing. Just what does this drug doing chemically to me?? What type of state is it ushering me into? What is in the pill that makes makes me way more creative and productive while on it?? Just wondering if any other Flutherite has the same situation.
