My doctor wrote me a perscription for Ambien a week ago this past Thursday. Little did I know about a side effect that wasn't mentioned in the ads - SLEEPWALKING. On Friday Night I took the perscribed dose before calling it quits for the evening. The next morning when I got u. The path from my bedroom to my computer room looked like a Tornado went through it. Two Lamps were broken, My keyboard was on the floor and my Chair was broken in two! This was nothing compared to what happened the next evening. I took a dose, and nodded off to sleep.The next morning (I couldn't get up. I slept all the way to 5:00 PM. That evening I opened the jar containg the Pilld (There were about 16 of them remaing in the jar when I called it quits, opening it I discovered there were NONE inside there. Apparently I, while Sleepwalking had unconsciounitly taken EVERY PILL in the container. Need less to say I visited my doctor and told him what happened. This is a Dangerous Pill, I could have easily overdosed on these pills and gotten killed. Avoid this pill at all costs.

16? My mom near OD'd after taking 4 in a night doing the 'sleepwalking' thing. After looking up the side effects I hid them from her. Then we both went through hell dealing with withdrawal. Apparently she'd been taking them for a long time, and another side effect is that you forget how to sleep without them. And once they don't work anymore...
If you are prescribed sleeping pills of any kind, have somebody else give you the required doses & hide the pills from you. Better yet, learn to sleep without the pills. They are addictive AND dangerous....

Ambien is one, if you take it more than 2 weeks, it's officially an addiction. No helping it.

There are many stories, some with tragic endings.

My Church Group went out to eat at a Seafood Restaurant. They asked me why I missed Church this past Sunday and they told me quite a few "Horror Stories" about this Drug and its "Sleepwalking" Side Effect. Stories about people walking outside, naked, people who got in their car and drove a number of miles before waking up, and a number of cases similar to mine with not-so-happy- endings, like a child getting up to discover BOTH of his Parents DEAD having ODed on Ambien.These kind of drugs should be BANNED. NOW!

We always second-guess our doctors, when it comes to prescriptions.
We keep a PDR, we look up whatever we're prescribed, both in the book and online.
If there is even a slight chance the prescription could be habit-forming, we ask for alternatives.
We avoid habit-forming medications at all costs.
