On March 29, 2009, Robert Stewart, 45, stormed into the Pinelake Health and Rehab nursing home in Carthage, North Carolina and opened fire, killing eight people and wounding two. Stewart’s apparent target was his estranged wife, who worked as a nurse in the home. She hid in a bathroom and was unharmed. Stewart was charged with eight counts of first-degree murder; if convicted he could face the death penalty. Even though there was evidence that Stewart’s actions were premeditated (he allegedly had a target), Stewart’s defense team successfully argued that since he was under the influence of Ambien, a sleep aid, at the time of the shooting, he was not in control of his actions. Instead of the charges sought by the prosecutors, Stewart was convicted on eight counts of second-degree murder. He received 142 – 179 years in prison.

Shortly after the Kennedy incident, Ambien users sued Sanofi because of bizarre sleep-eating behaviors while on the drugs. According to Chana Lask, attorney for the class action suit, people were eating things like buttered cigarettes and eggs, complete with the shells, while under the influence of Ambien. Lask called people in this state “Ambien zombies

I have taken one every night for the last 15 years. In the last six months I have been experiencing some of the issues described in this article. I wake up and find empty food wrappers? A few nights ago I called my daughter at 2:00 a.m. I did not believe her when she told me the next day, but then I heard the voice mail I left her. I sounded drunk, but I don't drink. Two nights ago I woke up sitting on the couch, with chewed up crackers on my mouth. I have had a few small things happen, and absolutely no memory of the events.

I think my experiences are due to my staying awake after I've take the medicine. You do have a really great high when you stay awake.

LOL! True but I can't stay awake. I usually break them in half . I have whole bunch stored up because of that. Publix wouldn't give me my monthly prescription of them because I was a week late in ordering them a few months ago. They said I didn't need them if I had some left over. I told them I break them in half so they decided I didn't need them.Pissed me off. So now I go on the exact date to get them. I don't think it's up to them to decide whether I need them. I almost changed pharmacies but I get my Lisinopril free there. It's a good thing I saved them because I had a month when my insurance changed when I didn't have any insurance after I retired.

I take them because I have a thyroid problem which causes me not to sleep at night. I have an overactive thyroid that is not stabilized and they keep changing the medications.

You should have told the pharmacist....that was the week you stayed up 7 nights in a row. It's between you and your doctor....not the pharmacist or pharmacy tech. You could have had any number of reasons for not taking the meds.

You're lying.

Publix could not and would not make such a decision. They can only carry out the instructions of your physician. My guess is that you haven't been in for the routine visit with your primary care physician or had your routine blood tests done. Without those, it is now illegal for your physician to renew your prescription.

That's what is great about Ambien -- no grogginess the next morning.

They damn sure did and said I had to wait until it was time for my next prescription. I called my daughter who had been a pharmacy tech many years ago to ask her and she said they can do that because it's a class IV drug and highly regulated. Publix said I could catch up on that refill at the end but would not give me the refill for that month. I had one refill left the next month and had to go see my Dr. to get it refilled so don't tell me Markle ,I'm lying. I got five refills out of a six month prescription.

I was certainly shocked. They first said they couldn't back bill for the prescription so I called my insurance co.and they said they could and called them. Then they said I was in my new 30 days and had to wait until it was time for the new month which was 3 weeks away.. I think they thought I was selling them or something. They actually told me if I was only taking half then I didn't need the current prescription and had some left over. I really thought it was none of their business how I took them but apparently they could do that.
