I was taking Ambien for about a year not knowing about any side effects I was having. I'd wake up in the morning and wonder who had the mid-night meals, there would be missing laundry (found washed and folded). But what made me stand up and take notice was that one night I apparently drank, got into my vehical had drove to the store, not getting anything and not making it back home either. I got into an accident hitting a block wall, and not being awake during any of it. I totalled my vehicle and by the grace of God I didn't hurt anyone. I am now fighting a DUI all because I had taken Ambien and was alsleep during everything. I know realize the mid-night meals and laundry bandit must have been me..
