My boyfriend told me I did and said some things the night I took Ambien (before my December '05 colonoscopy--couldn't sleep because of what turned out to be needless apprehension) that I don't remember at all. And it's very disconcerting to think that I was on auto-pilot and responsive to him with ABSOLUTELY NO RECOLLECTION of it. I think Freud called that a fugue state? A few years ago I took some Ambien and had to fake it when my boyfriend (then new) asked the next morning, "So did you enjoy that last night?" The look on his face told me the answer was "God, yes," but still, I vowed never to take that drug again. It does make you sleepy, though. Horny, pliant and sleepy.
