Ambien Sleep Driving

You’ve all seen the ads for the popular sleep aid Ambien.  Yet, behind this popularity is a little known fact:  the sudden rise in Ambien related impaired driver arrests.  Some of those arrested state that they have no recollection of driving a vehicle prior to the arrest.  In some state toxicology laboratories Ambien makes the top 10 list of drugs found in impaired drivers.  And as a more people are taking the drug — 26.5 million prescriptions in this country last year — there are signs that Ambien-related driving arrests are on the rise.
