I took Ambien CR for a short time because I was having trouble sleeping. One morning I got up and went out to the garage to do some woodworking, which is my hobby. I got several tools and other things out and set them on my workbench but then I went back in the house for something. A few minutes later I came back out to the gargage and began to look for the same tools and things that I had already set out to work with. Unable to find any of the things I was looking for in the places I usually keep them I became extremely frustrated only to discover after a few minutes that I had already set them all out and completely forgotten that I had done so.
Another time I was supposed to speak at church at a certain time and I got up and began to speak and I noticed that people were looking at me strangely. Turns out I had gotten up at the wrong time and talked about something other than what I was supposed to talk about. I’m usually very careful about timing, etc, but that day I just got up and starting in without giving it a second’s thought.
I quit taking it because I was afraid of what could happen.
