Ok, now I read some info on the long term Ambien Addiction, and read that people would acually get up and sleep drive, or do dishes but....besides the 7.5 Hydroconde and Valium for my knee pain / anxiety that I take, the 3mg Lunesta just was not working, so I have been on 12.5 Ambien CR for only 3 weeks (exactly as perscribed) and had NO side effects.

However, the night before, I woke up to go to the bathroom, and remember, that I had to think for about 30 seconds What I Was Doing, and What Time It Was, BUT I did Know Where I was.

But LAST NIGHT, around 5:00am, all's I remember is going to the bathroom, then it was like I popped out of a trans, to find myself sitting up on my bed PRAYING FOR PEOPLE in Need of Help, but VEBALLY OUT LOUD!!!

I looked around, finished the prayer (in silent), Then I prayed to GOD...WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS THAT ABOUT? I wonder How Many People I Prayed For, and HOW LONG I was Praying??? LOL (I think?)

So...has anyone had any simular situations, or side effects, with the 12.5 Ambien CR (taking it exactly as perscibed) After ONLY 3 WEEKS???

Just wonder if anyone can give me a little imput, advise, help, or experiences that are simular to what I described? Should I really STOP the Ambien?? Is it really something that I should be concerned about.

After 3 weeks, this is the ONLY side effect (or whatever it is) that I have had. The Ambien works a lot better than the Lunesta, BUT that may indicate there is more underlying attributes associated with it...I guess, I don't know??

Can anyone help with a little advise? I really love to pray for people in need of help, BUT - I don't want to find my self (awakend)at the local Gas Station in my Truck!!!! - If ANYONE HAS ANTHING THAT IS SIMULAR, I would really appreciate your input.

THANKS A BUNCH!
