Follow-Up:
I had a severe reaction to Ambien after taking it for over a year. Appearently, I was disturbed from sleep sometime after taking the medication and ended up trying to drive my car. I only made it a few feet before hitting a fence then went back in the house and to bed, leaving my daughter in the car. Charges were filed and there is still one pending which I hope will be dropped. My doctor wrote a letter saying that these side effects could happen. Let me know if this helps and write back.
