> I was taking ambien in the 1990's after my parents died. I decided to get off this drug when I woke up on the bathroom floor. I had taken my dose just before brushing my teeth.

My bathroom is not very big - and I did not have any bruising, but I have no memory of laying down on the floor.James A - I've been taking ambien for years and I knew it caused some memory problems. Several months ago at midnight (after taking ambien) my son said I drove to the convenience store with him (he later said I couldn't drive) and went in. He found me on the floor of the store. I then wanted to drive again! I had no memory of any of it. I'm now trying to find a "safer" drug. I tried temazepam and it made me very sick, and still couldn't sleep. Now I'm trying halicon, not a drug I like but I need to sleep more than two hours. jane
