Just because a new drug is popular...

pills, pills!...doesn't always mean that it is safe. First it was Prozac suicides, and now the insomnia drug Ambien is found to cause sleepwalking and other nighttime activities, most frighteningly driving in a zombie-like state. It's become one of the top drugs found in the systems of impaired drivers, and it appears that such episodes may be particularly likely when people have had any alcohol at all during the evening -- a word of warning to anybody with an Ambien prescription.
