It could be another Ambien case. One woman gained something like a 100 pounds raiding the fridge while asleep, and thought all the missing food must be attributable to her teenage sons. She promptly lost it when she stopped taking Ambien and her middle of the night kitchen runs stopped. Another person was damaging walls and injuring a spouse during rages while sleeping — also stopped as soon as the Ambien was stopped. It’s a very weird phenomenon, and false claims are obviously possible, but there have been enough real cases documented that it has to be considered.

I had a hallucinogenic reaction to Ambien the one time I took it as well. I was still lucid enough to understand what what happening, but I saw psychedelic patterns within 20 minutes of taking the drug, almost went off into a bad trip, and had some really, really odd dreams.

Warm milk and turkey (triptophan) is much safer....

AMBIEN! I had terrible experiences while taking this drug. I almost burnt my house down. Gained a lot of weight during sleepwalking/eating. I have a friend who’s a cop. He’s told me stories about pulling over sleep walkin’ drivers! Always AMBIEN! DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG!
