Fascinating topic, especially since I've had related experiences
with Ambien. The first was when I was in the hospital following my
myocardial infarction & stent placements. At one point I decided I
needed to remove my catheters and leave the hospital. The nurses
were less than pleased.
The 2nd time I was on vacation with my wife and had taken an Ambien
before bedtime. I started making uncharacteristically lewd
suggestions to her. While flattered, she realized something was
wrong and got me to lay down where I promptly fell asleep.
On both occasions I had the Ambien on top of an opiate. In the
hospital it was post MI/post surgical medication. On vacation it was
oxy- (or hydro-?) codone I was taking for a pinched cervical nerve.
In fact, I'd taken the Ambien to help me sleep with the discomfort
caused by that condition.
In any event, both were rather fascinating experiences. Upon
awakening the next day I had a vague memory of both episodes. As for
Freudian implications the only ones I can come up with for the 2
episodes are 1) I don't much care for tubes inserted in my body, and
b) I've still got the hots for my wife after 37 years!
I wonder if some people are posting to TIPS while under Ambien sleep ....
that's the best explanation I can think of for some cases ;-)
