Ambien
Ambien is one of the most popular sleep aids in the world. Unfortunately, it has also become the object of some disturbing reports of severe side effects such as uncontrollable binge eating, sleep walking, sleep driving, short term memory loss, sleep eating, and sexual activity while sleeping. Like many other sleeping pills, Ambien can cause next-day drowsiness, but more and more people are involved in car accidents following a night of Ambien use.
Perhaps the most disturbing side effect of Ambien involves unexplained sleep walking and activities while under the influence of the drug. People who have a history of sleep walking or waking are believed to be particularly at risk for Ambien-related side effects, and researchers also believe that women are more likely to suffer than men. There millions of people in the United States that use sleeping pills, and thus there are millions of potential victims of these dangerous conditions.
Another potentially dangerous side effect of Ambien is short term memory loss. Perhaps the most disturbing report of this side effect comes from Dr. Ken Sassower, a neurologist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. After taking a sleeping aid he could not recall advising his team of residents on their rounds that morning. When doctors fail to function properly due to medication, there is obviously something egregiously wrong with a medication.
If you or someone you love experienced the dangerous side effects of Ambien, you need to contact a dedicated and knowledgeable lawyer immediately. You may be able to take legal action in order to claim financial restitution for your damages, but if you hesitate, laws called statutes of limitations can prevent you from getting the compensation you deserve.
