The dark side of sleeping pills

"...started taking Ambien in 1998. Her first episode of sleep eating happened just weeks later. She would half wake and walk into the kitchen to consume large amounts of cooked and uncooked foods. She ate raw eggs, uncooked rice and entire loaves of bread. Makinen gained a substantial amount of weight during the six years she medicated with Ambien and filed a suit against Sanofi-Aventis."

So, her first episode of sleep eating happened weeks after commencing Ambien, she continues taking for six years, blames the and files a suit? If I had an episode of sleep eating as a side effect to a medication, I would stop taking the medication. What am I missing?

What you are missing?

Not much, people simply don't take responsibility for their actions

evil medication, there are so many better ones that are non-addictive but rarely prescribed. Interesting article though, the ambien defence.

And why was her GP continuing to prescribe it?

Did the supplier of the product advise her this was a possible side effect?

It's funny, I took Stilnox years and years ago now when I was doing shift work and had disrupted sleeping patterns. It did absolutely nothing - not only did I not sleep walk, sleep drive, sleep eat or anything, but it didn't even help me sleep! Made absolutely no difference whatsoever - I could have been popping panadol for all the effect it had

Did you keep taking it for 6 years?

Your a funny bugger Dave.

I keep unusual hours but most of you have done an hour or twos work before I arise from the nightly coma!

Dunno. I was just wondering what some of these non-structure requests might have been.

taxation, interpreting contracts, property advice, insurance to name a few.
