Today, I was let go from my job. I was baffled to say the least, but not so baffled that I wasnt ready to get going towards a new direction. I went home, caught a bit of the feel sorry blues and decided to go to sleep. I cant sleep without Ambien, so I took a few the last thing I remember was pulling back the covers. I woke up seven hours later in the Emergency Room at my local hospital. I have a 6 inch shoulder wound, a bump on the head a imprint from the bottom of my glasses frame on my right cheek under the right eye and total memory loss for what happened. A friend called my daughter to come to my house when the friend could not reach me, which is highly unusual for me. My daughter and a friend banged on my house door for one hour straight. The neighbor down below said she heard loud crashes before my daughter arrived. My daughter final called the local police. They tried to no avail. My daughter stated that I finally came to the door loking very tired and bloody. An ambulance was called and I was wisked away. When I returned home tonight 11-24-2009. I found my apartment in shambles. I had trashed the place while out during the Ambien use. This scares me. I cant sleep at night if I dont take it, and yet now I am afraid I will hurt myself again. The pain from this go around is terrible. If you are sufferring the same please try something different as I will be looking for a natural remedie. Hope my story helps anyone using Ambien.
