My husband & I have no children at home. After taking medication and not able to go to sleep, I get out of bed, cook, work in my office, drive the car etc. The next morning I remember none of these events. Saw the cake and ask who gave it to us. When I get up at night I make a list of what I am doing, I have NO memory of anything I did. Does anyone have this reaction to taking this medication?

I work night shift and sleep during the day but found myself waking up after about 2 or 3 hours and needing to take Benadryl to sleep.

It works great to put me to sleep but after 2-3 hrs I am awake-then take over the counter to help the ambien. Almost nightly I cook, eat,walk, fall asleep standing or sitting on edge of the bed. Lots of different strange things. I find things moved or cooking items out. I thought I was going crazy, so I asked my daughter to stay with me for a few days. She had to escort me back to bed safely. ... Show Full Comment

Lots of different strange things. I find things moved or cooking items out. I thought I was going crazy, so I asked my daughter to stay with me for a few days. She had to escort me back to bed safely. If anyone is having any of the occurances that several of us have mentioned, please talk to your Dr, family members etc. Its better to be safer than sorry. You are not alone.
