Follow-Up:

I was seeing a total "quack psychiatrist" for almost two years, and she had me on Ambien along with five other presciptions (all of them were to ease a side effect of another). I LOVED AMBIEN!!! I loved the great night of sleep it gave me, BUT I also talked/walked in my sleep, hallucinated, had amnesia; none of it was dangerous, just hilarious to my boyfriend and great for party stories. And yes, I had the occassional wild sex after ambien/before sleep and had no recollection of it. The sad thing is that I took it (10mg) everynight for over a year, on my doctor's advice and prescrips., and became severely addicted. Once I got to a "real" doctor, he advised me that for my weight (100lbs.) I should have only been taking 1/2 of a 5mg!
