Share your ambien moments

On it for a few weeks 5mg nightly. After 3 weeks, blacked out while I was driving. Truck off-road/airborne. Landed in a concrete culvert at a dead stop from 60 or so. Broke the frame but unhurt.

Several years later, dumb ass me had a beer and an Ambien. Wife says I basically sexually assaulted her in my sleep.

And I wasn’t even “there” to enjoy it. [emoji25]

Took a LOT of talking my way outa that one.

I was told a few times i initiated and finished an adult activity with the wifey. She was happy about it tho.
And yes, i dont recall any of it
 
I took Ambien about 10 years ago. All was fine for about two months, when I began to get up after sleeping for two or three hours and make myself a small omelette. Six eggs, about a pound of hot sausage and some cheese along with two or three slices of toast.

I'd wake up the next morning wondering why I felt full and who left all the dirty dishes and pans in the sink. About the third time I did this my wife woke up while I was whipping up an omelette and asked what I was doing. Dead asleep, I reply "making a snack, I'm hungry."

About a month later I woke up with the desire for ice cream. I get dressed, get in my truck and drive the 7 miles to the local 24 hour convenience store to buy some Elberta Peach Haagen Dazs ice cream. I vividly remember people staring at me while I was in the store. I drove the 7 miles back home, this being around 3am, ate the ice cream and left the container in the sink.

The next morning I woke up and my wife asked me where I got the ice cream, since we had none at home. I went out and looked at my truck...not a mark on it. I stopped taking Ambien that very night.

Fast forward about 3 years and I'm in the hospital with an heart infection from a tick bite. The nurse comes in at night to give me my pills and unknown to me, Ambien was one of them. I take the pills and about an hour later I'm up sleep walking. She takes me back to bed, and in a half hour I'm up again. Thinking they didn't give me enough Ambien to keep me asleep, they give me more (don't recall the exact amount) and when I go out they set the alarm on my bed and put restraints on me.

About two hours later I wake up, undo the arm restraints and am undoing the leg restraints when the nurse and two orderlies come in my room to put me back in bed. One orderly holds my legs while the nurse straps me in and then as she went to put my wrist straps in place, I wake up...in a dark room with someone I don't know holding me down. I punched the nurse in the face, split her lip and broke her nose. I hit the orderly that was holding my arms in the eye and gave him a black eye. Then everything went black. The orderly that was holding my feet gave me a shot of something to knock me out.

The next day my wife comes in to visit and is told that I am a "uncooperative patient". She asks the details and is told what I did. When she asked if they gave me Ambien, they said yes, to help me sleep. My wife snaps out on the head nurse and tells her that I don't take Ambien and is told that there was nothing in my chart stating NOT to take it.

I signed myself out of the hospital that day. THE worst hospital in the world.

Ambien should be taken off of the market.
