We'll never know for sure but I suspect Ambien wasn't even in the picture. It is just a scapegoat.
I agree, this is not done blooming yet. However I've just got an old empty Ambien bottle I'm going to keep with me at all times. If anything goes horribly wrong I can always say "What do mean they're all gone??"
I don't know about that, I take Ambien quiet often. Use to have a beer before I went to bed, and use to have the beer also with the Ambien. I never drove while on the drug, at least I hope I never did. But never the less from past experiences I could see how this event could be the result of the two. Ambien is something you want to definitely something you want to take precautions with, no alcohol, no other drugs, and no meals before, need to take it on an empty stomach. For some reason a full stomach kind of erases its effect, kind of weird in that effect. Don't take the regular Ambien anymore, but take the time released CR one, lot more predictable.
