I guess if anyone is gonna get that side effect, it would be her.
altho it is like saying you were drunk...doesn't make you do anything you would not normally do awake.

I'm not saying it is anything more than an excuse in her case - her earlier awareness would suggest she was not in an ambien black-out. But ambien - is known to cause sleep-driving, sleep-sexing, sleep-walking). It is relatively well-accepted as a criminal defense (unlike the "I was drunk" defense)

is one of the side effects.

I don't believe that is what was going on with Roseanne because of her apparent awareness of her activity in the immediate aftermath.

I'm just pointing out that, contrary to the post I responded to, ambien is not treated the same way as alcohol from a legal perspective, and that people in an ambien blackout do engage in all sorts of conduct they would not normally engage in.

All those racist thoughts keep her awake, so she must take Ambien. But if she takes Ambien, then there is no filter for those racist thoughts.

It's very sad.
