I had not been drinking. I was naked in my bathrobe and barefoot. The cop pulled me over because I had a flat tire and continuted to drive. I have no recollection of any of this. Luckily, I had a sensible prosecutor, who actually was aware of such cases, who saw the video tape of me in the bathrobe, and saw my medical records that i was taking Ambien, and dismissed my case. I want to sue the makers of Ambien. This drug should not be on the market. And Yes, i DO want money damagages for myself for all the crap I went through. These drug companies make Billions, i deserve a bit of that money for what I went through. If anyone knows any firm taking these cases, please let me know I was arrested in September 2008 for DWI after going to sleep and sleep driving with Ambien. I had not been drinking.

I had some memory loss and ate some food not remembering it but in June of 09 I took it went to bed and was arrested for oui. The next morning dont remember any of it. I have custody of my daughter and live with my g/f. I only took it when my g/f was home never when alone with my daughter due to its power of sedating me. I have lost my license for 6 mos. and thousands to get it back. The FDA needs to do their job and take this off the market and not worry about losing money in their pockets!! Maybe it will take someone in the FDA family to suffer an ambien accident for it to sink in!! I had been on ambien for about a year.

The next thing I knew I was in the county jail, talk about freaked out. i have never had so much as a speeding ticket. Here I am whith a DUI and in JAIL. I have never been arrested . I am 52 and was having a spat with my husband , who had decided to stay at our other home about 80 miles away. Apparently during the night I decided to go see him. I drove around 20 miles and was stopped by the police for erratic driving. (thank god they stopped me) Lord knows what could of happened. I am thankful that no one was hurt. When I was stopped. I had on white short coveralls striped knee socks, and a flowered sweater and un matched shoes. This is not me. I would have never thought that htis could happen to me. I think my sub-concious took over and as a result I ended up with this nightmare. I have absolutley no reccollection of the events from 11 PM to around 4am that is so frightening to me, that I lost 5 hours of my life and could have potentially been killed or worse hurt somone else. Remember I was in bed in my PJ's when I took it. I am not sure what the legal ramifications are or should be but, I followed the directions on the bottle.

I got into an arguement with my wife, had a couple drinks and went to bed. Woke up in jail with a police officer holding a bandage to my face. Had only been taking Ambien for two weeks. Spent three days in jail with a broken nose and broken arm from the car wreck which I do not remember. Slept on a cement floor with these injuries, with no idea why I was there! Was dropped off by police downtown after being released with no vehicle or any way to get home. Also, charged with DUI, totaled a classic convertible and went to the hospital for injuries and severe pain because of lack of treatment. THIS DRUG IS BAD...I don't want money, I WANT THIS DRUG BANNED. My Doc, Pharmacy, State and Attorney ALL stand to make money on my dime. I was NOT warned of any side effects. I could have killed myself and injured or killed others. Something is REALLY wrong!!!!!!!!!!!! I read the posts above and can relate exactly.

Sometime after taking it she got up and started her car in an attached garage while her children slept upstairs. Luckily, her oldest child awoke to find her before they all died of CO2 poisoning. She has absolutely no memory of doing any of this. My sister is in jail and charged with a felony because of Ambien.

He did not drink at all, or drive after 8:00pm at night. He was in the process of writing his second book. The only thing "new" in his life was Ambien to help him sleep - this drug cut his life. He drove into a tree 11:45pm under the influence of Ambien. Thank God nobody else was involved ... but we mourn :( My father was in a fatal car accident after taking Ambien – Sep -08.

It ALL is related to the fact that people are taking this drug and STAYING AWAKE. Read the documentation. You take the medication and go to bed. OF COURSE it causes amnesia, of course you are high and going out driving. It is a central nervous system altering drug. Take it as directed.
