Yeah you've got to watch it with Ambien. I was given a prescription for Ambien a while back and its a very strange drug. As opposed to drugs that just make you very sleepy like Valium, Ambien is a hypnotic drug. Meaning it doesn't just make you sleepy it puts your brain in a different state of mind. My experience is that it takes a while for drugs to take effect on my body so, I decided to take the Ambien tablet early. At exactly 10:30pm I took the pill so I could watch 15 minutes of the news then go to bed. Well I started to feel kind of funny by the start of the news and the next thing I clearly remember is waking up in bed the next morning. When I went downstairs, the TV was still on, a sandwich was made and half eaten, and several board games were spread out on the floor. I had done all these things and not even rememered having done them. I'm glad that I put my keys in a drawer at night, so I couldn't have gotten to them to drive my car. From then on I take the tablets when I'm already in bed reading and ready to go to bed. Be carefull with Ambien take it only when your in bed ready for sleep, don't take it while your sitting up you'll do weird things!! You can google stories of Ambien forgetfullness and hear some weird stories.
Wow. I think that would be the last time I took that particular drug. Scary.
Did it come back to you once you noticed?
You did drive that night, I remember you now ;)
Lunesta did that to me. One night I took it, got up the next morning and was going to eat rice cakes, tore the house apart looking for them. I accused my husband of eating them or hiding them. He insisted that I sat in front of the computer and ate the whole bag of them. I don't remember it at all.I did find crumbs on the floor in front of the computer.
Another night he woke me to inform me that the fire department was responing to a possible fire at a property I manage. I don't remember that either.
Whoa!! Interesting story.
