Follow-Up:
After reading the previous posts, I am making a definate connection between my taking Ambien 10mg and sleepwalking. I have been finding half-eaten food on the kitchen counter, on my night table, and in the microwave!! Live alone so this is very scary (what if I had turned on the stove or oven???!!!) Had a 3/4 full bottle of wine in the fridge: upon walking into the kitchen after waking up the following day, saw it was empty on the counter, and 3 different kinds of glasses had wine in them and were sitting on the counter. Also woke up one day to discover a newspaper on my coffee table, and I NEVER buy the paper b/c I get all my news online or on tv. Have zero recall of any of these events. Was worried about withdrawl symptoms from stopping Ambien, but am MORE concerned about my sleepwalking and the potential dangers involved. Called a doctor to ask about my recent research Re: sleepwalking, memory loss, unexplained bizarre events & taking Ambien. He agreed that my discovery & beliefs about the connection were 100% accurate!!! The withdrawl may be difficult, but well worth it.
