Jacqui -- I feel bad about the lost memory. It causes me embarrassment when I can't remember things, especially when I am talking to my 16 year old son. I am not sure what to say to you, except to talk to your doctor about alternatives. Lack of sleep can be very serious, too. Maybe a different antidepressant? Be sure your doctor knows what effect this is having. Ambien really isn't recommended for long-term use.
I hope you find something that helps!

> LK-that is pretty serious. I don't recall my days either and I struggle to put thoughts together. Given that I have chronic problems with obsessive thinking,the combo of celexa and ambien has given my mind a much needed vacation and my biggest fear is all this thinking will come back. I am on 10mg of celexa now and still take ambien to help me sleep while i am on celexa. it boggles my mind that you lost all of those memories. how do you feel about that? from a medication and philosphical standpoint, if i may ask. thank you for sharing your experience with me. i am glad that you are okay. did you read the earlier message from saintjames?? he mentioned that all sleep meds will affect memory. i was unaware of this. please be well.

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

I have forgotten even seeing movies I have seen before, and I saw them during the day when theoretically no ambien was in my system. I went sailing in the Caribbean (I remember I went) but dont remember what islands I visited. I have been off it for three months now, and am fine again with a good memory, but a whole year of my life is lost to my recollection.
