greg, thanks for your advice. it is a strange and creepy feeling to have no recollection. iam seeing one doctor tomorrow and plan to discuss this. i did read about memeory loss in the tips section of this website...it seems to be rare. the concern i have is whether or not these effects have some permanent damage somewhere along the line...thanks for your input, greg. best, jacquie

> I'd ask my doctor if possibly it might be the Ambien and Celexa together causing the problem. I'm not saying that it isn't the Ambien on it's own, but Ambien dissapates from the system after 4 hours (which is why most people like it, no morning groggyness) and has very few negative reported side effects from what I've read. I've been taking it for almost a year and its been a life saver (or sleep saver anyway) for me. I'm sure someone here will have a better take on this than me. I've never taken Celexa and don't know a great deal about it. Absolutely sounds like a problem you should speak to your doc about, good luck.

Like not remembering phoning people. I just started ambien less than a week ago to help with micro awakenings from celexa. I still wake up 2x a night, but am a bit scared of this ambien. Please help if you can. Thanks very much. Jacquie
