Like I mentioned on our B&C Show today, I have had a sleeping problem for years and for a long time I had been keeping my weird stories about what has happened to me while on Ambien CR to myself and just a few close friends. After I finally decided to talk about my problems with Ambien on the show today, I was blown away by the response we got for hours on the request line (512.390.5947). I was always aware on the side effects of Ambien and read some of the scary sleep-driving stories of people who take Ambien in the New York Times.
But not until I brought this up on our show today, did it really hit me...I need to stop taking this sleep med! We got calls that never made it on the air today, simply b/c there wasn't enough time, from listeners that had gotten DWI's while on Ambien, had sex without realizing it, even one woman who had siad her uncle committed suicide while on the sleep drug! I've been online looking at even more Ambien nightmare stories and now I'm wide awake with the reality that Ambien is probably not for me. Check out some of our listener responses here. Maybe you have a story about Ambien...write me! Thanks.
