Mind altering drugs symptoms and conditions

I have been taking Ambien CR for a few months. At first it worked o.k. but now I am having bad side effects to it. I am walking around the house in a stupor, trying to talk to my family, slurring my words, acting like a drunk,cleaning the house, eating and not remembering any of it until my family tells me about it. They even think I am taking some sort of mind altering drugs because of my bizarre behavior. I don't like talking to someone and not remembering it. I am stopping this medication immediately before I do something to hurt someone while in a blackout!!

I have posted before but wanted to update. Singulair ruined my life for nearly 2 years, but I did not realize it was the reason until about 2 months ago. About 4 months after being on singulair, I sought treatment for severe depression and anxiety. My docs/psychs thought that it was a delayed reaction to the death of my father a couple of years earlier, so we did lots of therapy and 3 different psych meds trying to help me adjust. After all this (and one suicide attempt), I was finally just starting to accept that I was a miserable excuse for a human being, and I should get used to the fact that my life was going to suck from here on out. Then, I developed GERD and could not see my regular doc. The new doc told me to research all my meds (I was taking FOUR a day at that point, including the singulair...I am 27...) to find out if any could be the cause. That was when I found out what singulair can do, and that it could be the cost of my problems. My doc checked my charts, and sure enough, I started taking it shortly before I developed all of these "psychological problems". I've been off singulair for 2 months and my psych meds for a month (had to wean off). I finally feel like myself again after two years of hell!!!! I still have a slightly foggy head and problems concentrating sometimes, but what can I expect? I've been on mind-altering drugs for a couple of years. I hope things continue to improve. Never again will I take any drugs without doing *thorough* research (not just reading the hand out that comes with it..when I started singulair, there was no information about all these problems on the leaflet).

Experienced the side effect of llightheadedness, dizzy, fuzz like not all there when out. Xanax is the best drug for me for panic and anxiety attacks but doctors don't like to give it, it can be habit forming. 1/4 of a mg twice a day works for me, so why should I take Paxil or Prozac, Prozac had the same side effect as Paxillll, those mind altering drugs are drugs are just what the are called. Mind altering, lost sex drive, gained weight. Having problem with rapid pulse, have been off for 6 months now, will never go back. I have friends that use Prozac or Paxil and swear by them. These drugs are just what they are called drugs.
