Which side effects of sleeping pills have you experienced?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
One scarey story: One of my patients who was taking Ambien (zolpidem) woke up with a loaded pistol to his wife's head. They were both horrified. He had engaged in a series of purposeful behaviors leading up to this, while asleep.
