Developed sleep walking, eating, talking, running machinery and watching TV while I was supposedly asleep. This was witnessed by my niece who was very scared. It lasted for about an hour. This is not the first time but this is the first time someone witnessed it. I had suspected all along because I saw used dishes and empty containers in the kitchen in the morning. Have been off it for 3 days now and thank God. Never will I take it again although it seemed to work well for 2 years. I have gained so much weight from the night eating. That guy on the news who says he drove his car after taking Ambien, I now believe him!

I've been on Ambien for about 60 days now. First the CR for the first 30 days then the regular. I am an active duty Marine and constantly exercise on a daily basis. To my amazement other then talking in my sleep, not remembering the night before I have gained 15lbs and 2 belt sizes in only 60 days. My wife said I get up at night and pig out on whatever I can find. I wake to wrappers and half drank sodas. I am going off of the Ambien tonight.
Happy sleeping to all!
