Hello
The [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] prescribed sleep medication in the United States may be
linked to [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] of sleepwalking and related [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
and [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], experts say -- including incidents of nocturnal [link widoczny dla zalogowanych],
phone conversations, shoplifting and even [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] -- of which the subject has no [link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Sleep specialists and researchers [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] a
growing though still inconclusive [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] of reports associating Sanofi-Aventis's
drug [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] with the incidents. More than 24 million prescriptions for [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
were written in 2004.
Timothy Morgenthaler, a researcher at the Mayo Clinic Sleep [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Center in Rochester, Minn., says he has seen [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] cases of people
who sleepwalk and sleep-eat after taking [link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
He described five such cases in a 2002 [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] in the journal Sleep Medicine.
All those patients stopped [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] sleep-eating episodes when
they discontinued [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Morgenthaler said. Since then he has seen many similar cases, he said.
"I feel pretty comfortable that this is a real [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he said.
Sanofi-Aventis, the French [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] of the drug, declined to make
officials available for interviews. The company issued a [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
saying the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] is known but rare, and that "when taken as
prescribed, Ambien is a safe and effective treatment [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]."
The [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] is disclosed in the product's full labeling [link widoczny dla zalogowanych],
where it is cited among numerous central nervous system side effects.
Other case reports of [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] sleepwalking have been
published in medical journals, and researchers of the Minnesota Regional
Sleep Disorders Center reported 19 additional [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] at a medical conference last year.
Reports made to the Food and [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] (FDA)
by doctors and patients show more sleepwalking [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
associated with [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] than with all other sleep aids combined.
None of these observations proves Ambien [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] sleepwalking,
and questions about the side effect were not [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] during
the FDA's [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] review of the scientific data.
The agency approved the drug in 1993.
Ambien and other newer sleep drugs are considered safer [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
previous types, in that they are [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] to be less
addictive and less [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] even in overdose.

sorry
