Follow-Up:
I have had several episodes with Ambien. I see people in my room. I get up and eat in and find the kitchen a mess the next morning. I clean out bathroom drawers. I went in my sons room and showed him containers one night about 2AM and asked him if he knew where any more containers were, because I was cleaning out. He thought I was nuts. He just looked at me and said that I needed to go to bed, that it was the middle of the night. I have talked to my family after taking this drug and called one son superman and the other batman. They thought I should try smoking pot instead, because I was so funny. I want to quit taking it, but I like the relaxed feeling I get when I take it. My memory is horrible now. I used to have a great memory. I can't stop taking it. I try, but then I get up and take it after one night without it. I go through withdrawals. It is terrible. I want off the stuff, but can't quit. I would love help with any suggestions for how to sleep without if, or do you finally get back into a sleep pattern without it after getting clean of the stuff. Oh yea, I did have sex one night with my husband and rubbed oil all over him, and don't remember doing it. He hates oil and being slippery. One morning, I took an Ambien by mistake for my Lipitor. I got in the car 30 minutes later and drove to a meeting. I bumped a car at a traffic light. I must have fallen asleep. I got out of the car and told the lady that my car felt heavy and I could not stop it by putting on the brake. She said that no damage was done and I drove the remaining three blocks to my meeting. When I got to the church, the person I was meeting thought I had had a stroke and she wanted to take me to the hospital. I told her that I thought I was having vertigo. I was having a hard time walking straight. I sat down and waited a while, but after an hour was better. She let me leave, because I was better. I don't remember the entire day. I thank God that I didn't kill myself or someone else that day. God help us who are addicted to this sleeping pill that our doctors so freely give us.
