The next day she said she had tried to call me, but the number wasn't correct. I said...What are you talking about? It was 100% freaky! I had zero memory of the entire communication - and why I gave her an old phone number, I have no idea.
Never touched Ambien again.
I've heard of other people having black-outs on Ambien, but it helps some people, too, I realize.

Wow, yeah that’s scary! I am afraid of that too. I took it for a short period of time one time when I was inpatient in the hospital because they were concerned since I wasn’t sleeping at all. I don’t recall it helping me sleep too much, I would be in bed laying awake for many hours before I’d finally fall asleep then I’d wake up early. I never felt well rested on it. But I didn’t take it for long, because as soon as I was out of the hospital I stopped it. I’m too scared to try it again even if I could afford it, too scared I’d sleep cook or something and burn my apartment down accidentally. I’ve heard too many horror stories about it
