This article cracked me up. I took Ambien for a couple of years for my bad insomnia and shortly afterward discovered the weird amnesiac effect. Also noticed that if I took an ambien and was drawing something at the time, the next morning I would wake up with some crazy masterpiece complete with paint. But would have no memory of creating it.
It's funny when you find out what a pharmacological drug can do beyond it's stated effects.
But I did do some things that I wasn't too comfortable with (that is, after I woke up and found out) so I was happy to stop taking it. I have never had this problem since using medical marijuana for sleep.
And yes, I work an upstanding white collar job, have never wrapped my vehicle around anything, and pay my taxes like a responsible ciziten.
