Horrific experiences symptoms and conditions

I've been reading some of the responses of you ladies on the NR, and I just don't understand it at all. I'm 29 years old, and I've been on it for over 6 years-ish, and I absolutely love it. It took me many years to find a BC method that I liked, and I'm so sorry you all have had such horrific experiences, all I can say, is keep looking for one that you like, something is bound to work for you, but keep tabs on your own health. Remember that NOBODY knows your body like you do, and if a doctor thinks you're crazy, go to a different doctor.

Sadly, I too have had a series of horrific experiences while "on" Ambien... though, at the time, I had no idea what I was doing and only found out after the fact that I had made a total fool of myself. I shut down a pool party at a neighbor's house one evening after apparently calling to complain about the noise they were making. Two hours prior, I was attending the same party. I went home, took an Ambien, crawled into bed, and was apparently up and around and making crazy phone calls with absolutely no recall of the events. Before I stopped taking it completely, my husband would just take the phones and the car keys away from me as soon as I took the medication and then had to put up with my insanity until I would just pass out. I have suffered major depression, confusion, poor impulse control, poor judgment, and have basically been an embarrassment and an impossible person to deal with when I have been on Ambien. I have tingling in my lips and tongue, tremendous lethargy, extreme mood swings and exhibit totally irrational and insane behavior... all without the faintest idea of what I am doing, and absolutely no memory of it after the fact; only the humiliating reports of family, friends and neighbors of my psychotic behavior. Ambien is an extremely dangerous drug and if I could mount an effort to get it taken off the market, I would. Where do we start?
