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?

I have taken Imitrex tablet on and off over 3 years, I have had burning sensations, blurred vision and no muscle control, I felt like I was in a daze and had dry mouth as well as pains. I had been using a beta blocker to combat the migraines day to day but with using Imitrex I gained poor judgement and lose of memory, upon talking to my doctor I stppoed taking both drugs and have not had any side efeects in 3 months

I started on the 27th of April and by the 29th I had burning in my back and severe pain. I then got chest pain and tingly in my arm. Over the next few days, I got anexity, the depression, confusion, poor judgment, depth perception problems, muscle spasms and almost wrecked my car.
I had memory problems, irritable, uneasiness feeling, etc.
I then had problem with my hip and I am only 35!!! I can't pick up my baby without feeling faint.
Today my eyes started yellowing.
I reported all this to the FDA MEDWATCH and to BAYER the makers of it. Maybe if everyone did this, they would see there is more of a need to help others. PLEASE do the same. A quick internet search would help you find what your looking for.
