My father was taking Ambien CR to help him sleep! He ended up in the hospital on a WED. because he had been out “sleep driving.” After that Wed. in the hospital he was never the same! My father was full of life and lived for his children! He inspired hundreds of people at his work through his leadership and high-spirits, he raised money for numerous charities such as Race for the Cure and Make a Wish Foundation. He was an active member at church and taught children’s church! After that Wed. he was never the same. By Monday Aug. 2, 2010 he took his own life……
Since then everyone around me knows someone who has taken Ambien or Ambien CR and experienced or witnessed loved ones doing things and not remembering. That alone is a serious side effect and you definitely don’t want it to lead to putting your loved one in a confused state of hallucinations and psychosis and then they end up taking their own life because their minds can no longer understand what is going on.
The FDA doesn’t know about these things if no one reports the side effects!
Please report the side effects if have ever taken Ambien/Ambien CR!
And if you have a loved one taking it, educate yourself on the side-effects so that you can keep a better eye on it!
I was uneducated about the side-effects and what was happing to my dad until it was too late. Don’t let that happen to you! God Bless you
