My friend (whom I just posted about having to be put in the psych ward) was given Ambien Monday night.
Since they couldn't get her in a room at the psych unit, they asked me to bring her home with me until they could get one the next day (she could not go home).
So before we left the hospital Monday night- they gave her 10 mg's of Ambien. It's a 45 minute drive from the hospital to my house.
In about 20 minutes, she falls fast asleep (and I was SOOO relieved, she had been crying non stop for 8 hours!).
Then, as I am driving, she wakes up and is totally talking out of her head.. She is seeing fire in the car, telling me visitors are coming over for dinner (it was after midnight!), telling me her foot was slipping on the slippery sand in my car, etc..
I couldn't help but laugh at her- but the weird part was that she was completely awake. But I couldn't convince her that those things' weren't real, so I just played along.
ROFL
SOOO... IT WAS the Ambien.
