Don’t take Ambien
February 7th, 2007
Sleep medication linked to bizarre behaviour
My father used to take Ambien to help him sleep. He would take it and go to bed… and soon afterwards we would find him up again, wandering around the house in a daze. He had a glazed look in his eyes and jerky movements. Sometimes he would fix himself a snack and eat it, or sit down and read a book. If we tried talking to him to ask him why he wasn’t in bed, he would say in a dreamy, far-away voice, “You should take some Ambien. It’s good stuff.”
The scary thing is, when he woke up the next morning he wouldn’t remember doing any of this.
Speaking of someone who has lost it, scroll down to catch this picture of Carter…

Sadly, the undoctored photo of Carter is scarier than the Photoshopped version.
I second Dad’s opinion, but wish there was a way to endulge without freaking others out. I have always had a hard time sleeping, so my fiance got me some zanex. Really strange things have happenned!!! I was having a conversation with him…in my sleep. The next morning he reminded me of something, thinking I would remember, which of course I didn’t! No more for me, but it was nice while it lasted. Anyway, hope all is well over there in Cali. It’s downright NIPPLELY out here!!!
