I know I've told the story before, but I have a friend that would wake up, drive to the corner store and buy beer and drink it after taking ambien. She does not normally drink and had no recollection of the event.

When I've taken it, I forget the end of the TV program or movie that I was watching or any conversations that I'd have with my husband after I took them.

When someone has a reaction as severe as your friends, it is important for her to let her doctor know.
