If you search @ rollingstone.com (rolling stone magazine), they did an article called "Ambien Nation" I'm pretty sure, but an "ambien" search there, will bring it up.

Nasty, nasty stuff! People falling asleep at the wheel, and sleep walking, sleep driving etc.

I take (by dr Knobler) one (or two) Zanaflex, 4 mg. It's simply a muscle relaxer as far as I know, but it kicks in enough to put me to sleep. It acts slowly, to kick in and wear off, so, I try to take it a little early, and not too much.

I also use a CPap machine for my apnea, and boy, if I fall asleep without it, it's not a pleasant day to follow......

Just my experience...
