Here is what my husband and I think happened last night, I take Ambien CR 12.5 mg. I also take Prozac, Adderall XR and Adoxa for my acne. Let me also say that I do drink alcohol when I know I'm taking Ambien. There are warnings about this.

I bought a bottle of Grey Goose at the liquor store yesterday when I was out running errands around 6:00 pm because we are having friends over soon and I was out of it. I did not open this bottle and my husband doesn't really drink and if he does, it is never vodka. The only other person in our house is our 2 year old who is not this sophisticated yet and he can't reach where the bottle is anyway.

My husband went to bed around midnight last night and I was right here on the computer until about 1:00am. I had taken an Ambien about a half hour before and when I felt tired, went to bed. Around 7:30 this morning, I sort of heard our son waking up (he still cries sometimes in the morning) and I vaguely remember hearing my husband say 'are you going to get him or should I'...

Around 9:00 am I woke up. Let me say, I never ever sleep until 9:00 on the weekends, holidays or even days off. I'm just programmed now to wake around 6:30-7:00 am just like most working people. When I went downstairs my husband and son were there and my husband said 'wow, you look really out of it'...I didn't think anything of it, just went on with our day.

This afternoon, I noticed that the Grey Goose bottle (the seal) was broken and about 1/4 of it was gone already. As I said, I didn't open it and my husband doesn't drink it. I mentioned this to my husband and he said that of course he never touched it. I got mad thinking that I bought a used bottle from the liquor store and my husband and I started talking about this.

But then he asked me if I had come downstairs last night. I said no why? He said this morning the TV was on the Lifetime Movie Network channel and the last thing he watched was a Friends rerun. I said nope, I was on the computer upstairs and went to bed and never went back downstairs...that I know of.

He confirmed what I thought I heard this morning around 7:30 am. He did ask me if I was getting up to get our son up because he said I had just gotten back into bed and my eyes were wide open. He said I was looking at him but then didn't move or say anything so he just went to get our son and he said I rolled over and went to sleep.

We talked about all of this more and he then remembered that he saw a knife left out on our counter this morning too. He knew for a fact that he did not see this when he went to bed at midnight because he had cleaned that counter prior to going upstairs. I routinely use a knife when I open difficult bottles. I usually forget to put them back...so it's something I would normally do. But we know that I didn't do this consciously last night.

I must've slept walked downstairs last night, opened the bottle with the knife, drank some of the Grey Goose (can't imagine drinking it straight but I' must've)...then went to watch TV on my usual channel LMN. I must've also turned the house alarm off because we have one with a motion detector. My husband doesn't remember hearing the chimes that go off when the alarm is turned on or off. I have no idea when this all transpired but we are thinking my son cried around 7:30 because he heard me coming back upstairs and we have baby gates both at the top and bottom of our stairs. We know to be very quiet around my sons room and close the gate quietly because if he hears that, he starts crying and wants us to come get him.

We are very scared right now about this. So, I started researching sleep walking and came across that some people claim that Ambien did this with them. I remembered something about Rep Kennedy way back talking about how some drug made him get up in the middle of the night and crash his car, I didn't believe a word of it.

I feel pretty foolish now and will stop taking it the Ambien and will call my doctor and let her know. We are almost 100% this is what happened with me last night. Oh by the way, my husband NEVER WATCHES LIFETIME. So this is proof to him besides the open and already used bottle of Grey Goose.

I have no idea if this is the first time this has happened. I started Ambien around February 2007 so I haven't been taking it long.

Anyone else experience this ever?
