Ambien Attorneys
Ambien is an extremely popular prescription sleep medication.
Recently cases have arisen where people are sleepwalking, exhibiting bizarre
behavior, criminal behavior and some leading to death.
Milton Shobe said his mother, Doris, 62, was taking Ambien. She was
found dead in her yard in November. She froze to death, and her family
believes she had been sleepwalking. Janet Makinen took Ambien for six
years and never understood why she was sleepwalking and eating bizarre
things like raw eggs, uncooked yellow rice, and loaves of bread while
she slept.
There are about 100 people involved in a class-action lawsuit filed on
March 6, 2006 against Sanofi-Aventis, the company that makes Ambien.
A Mayo Clinic researcher found many cases of people who sleepwalk and
sleep-eat after taking Ambien, which was approved by the Food and Drug
Administration in 1993. When Ambien users discontinue the drug, the sleep-eating
episodes stop, a researcher found. Sanofi-Aventis said that the side effect
was known but rare, and that "when taken as prescribed, Ambien is
a safe and effective treatment for insomnia." The company said the
side effect was disclosed in the product's full labeling material. Even
still, doctors have told the FDA that patients show more sleepwalking
incidents with Ambien than with all other sleep aids combined.
