I had a friend whose mom was prescribed Ambien. I think it was the first time Iâd ever heard of it. She said she kept having experiences like waking up in bed with empty bags of flour and jars of mayonnaise, so she stopped taking it.
My ex GF had a roommate who was taking this stuff and apparently frequently woke up with empty bags of McDonaldâs or Taco Bell on the bed, meaning heâd literally sleepwalk to his car, go to the drive thru, order, drive back, and eat, all without remembering any of it the next day. No idea how this stuff is even legal, itâs a miracle he never ended up in a car accident.
My mother actually died in a car wreck last week. Weâre almost certain it was ambien related. Luckily there was no other people or vehicles involved.
In a just world, I feel that the manufacturer would have already been held accountable for the effects of their product and this would never have happened. You take care, internet friend.
It does seem pretty wild how widely it's prescribed given anecdotes like that. I also a knew a guy who had been taking it for over 10 years and clearly was wildly addicted.
