Experiences - Ambien Amnesia (Zolpidem)

[bineon]

Wow ok so apparently SWIM took 20mg of Ambien (Zolpidem) on Sunday after returning from work, and on Monday, he awoke remembering none of his actions the day before. They were not irrational just his normal daily actions of going to work then coming home. The thing is, it snowed on Saturday quite a bit. He thought, upon waking up Monday morning, that it had happened the night before (Sunday night). He doesn't remember getting picked up from work nor anything about work on that particular day, though now, with the help of some people, he's recalling more and more of it. Basically it was a normal day but because the said man in the story took Ambien that night, it was all wiped from his memory.

Now we've all heard stories about SWIY doing something dumb while under the INFLUENCE of Ambien (cleaning/destroying their house, killing their dog, ect) and not remembering it, but I've never heard of someone forgetting their whole day's worth of activity with only previous memories being 2 days before.

Well I think what happened is that SWIM took Ambien, then took more Ambien. But I still have reason to believe no more than 30mg was taken. Perhaps this person is hypersensitive to Ambien (though having taken on many occasions beforehand and even after) or what? Do you guys know of anyone having similar experiences?
