BEWARE OF AMBIAN SIDE EFFECTS!

After taking this medication as prescribed for 3 months, I was told by my Doctor that Ambian is notorious for causing sleep-walking, sleep-eating, sleep-driving, calling, texting, emailing, etc, with no memory of your actions when you awaken. This drug is also shown in studies to cause depression, & parkinson’s over long term use. Thanks a lot! This was prescribed to me as I was going thru the change of life, and simply wanted to get a good nights sleep. I exhibited apparant symptoms of the above actions while sleeping on ambian, as I woke up last week, fully dressed in bed with keys in my hand, (scary!!!)… I also woke up with dirty dishes in the sink in the morning, when I always clean the kitchen before going to bed, and was advised I called a friend of mine in the middle of the night, and just mumbled… This drug should be taken off the market!

I was told a more natural alternative… Melatonin, (which you can buy over the counter without a prescription), can be taken 5 mg to start, graduating up to 10mg every evening with dinner, or 2-3 hours before bed, & will help you sleep through the night with no side effects. I was told it slowly builds up in your system, getting good relief after 1-2 weeks.

Whatever you do, STAY AWAY FROM AMBIAN!
