Over the past 10 years I have had various experiences with Ambien. All my life sleep has been illusive. Post Dalmane; Ambien arrived.
I related to the sleepwalking incidents in the NY Times. In 1999 in an Ambien fugue state I attempted to clean my bathtub. I threw a gallon of white peroxide (for dying hair) in the tub. Seems I then lost interest and went back to bed. Another time I telephoned friends with no subsequent memory of these calls. Most disturbing. however is that over a short period of daily Ambien I became suicidally depressed. I suspect these two factors are problematic: Ambien and alcohol; continued use).
Currently, if I need a sleeping pill I take Lunestra. Leaves an unpleasant taste in your mouth the following day however you won't hit the road with lost memory.
