Having taken Ambien, for a short period, in the past, I can attest to how bad it can screw with some people. Heck, I’m living proof.
After the first couple of days taking it, I began to sleep eat. I, on one occassion, even prepared a beef curry while completely asleep - my gf, at the time, woke up at 3am to find me immersed in my cooking.
On another occassion, my gf pulled me out of my car, which I had started and was about to depart the driveway - while completely asleep. I never had any recollection of any of the events the next day.
Needless to say, I ceased taking it.
If your doctor prescribes Ambien, REFUSE! I almost burnt my house down whilst taking it. It brought back my childhood sleepwalking problems. My doc will no longer prescribe to anyone!
Yes, I’ve heard many real-life stories like this. And these are people who had no history of sleep walking.
And don’t EVER drink with it. Don’t even think about it!
I think Ambien is bad, it may work for some people, but it should be very, very carefully monitored.
It’s a sleep aid, yes? I doubt you’ll get much rest if you’re up cooking and driving while asleep!
Whoa, is that the experience that gave cause of your tag line?
Sounds a lot like alcoholic blackouts.
I once washed a cat under the influence of Ambien.
