Hi
This is my first post up thing. I was reading about all of your suggestions about Ambien because I am really worried about a friend of mine. She takes it for insomnia because she suffers from panic attacks. She takes it without feeling tired so she does not go to sleep right away. Since
she does not go to sleep right away, she then wanders around and claims to
loose all memory of what happens later. I don't want to doubt her so I would like some clarification. You all seem to know from personal experience so I really would appreciate any help that you could offer me. Does Ambien cause a person to act like they are either drunk or high and does it also cause memory lose? She is a depressed person so I don't know if she is using this as an excuse to cry out for help. She says that her doctor knows about these side effects but is still keeping her on it. Would a doctor do this for real? I would really appreciate a prompt response. Thank you for any help that you provide me with.
