Sleep eating on Ambien

[theladyslipper 120]

OMg! I am starting to sleep eat on Ambien! I'm 6-7wks post-sleeve & really am hitting my exercise, Protein & just good clean eating all-day, but have started to sleep eat! The only time I've ever felt nauseous during this entire journey was after I was sleep eating a small handful of my child's Pirate's Booty. I don't remember anything until I get to the kitchen the next morning & see the snack out & then it's like watching a movie of something real quick in my mind & I remember "oh crap! That was ME?!"

Anyone had this experience? What do I do?? I'm seriously considering a lock on the pantry! Please do share any experience or solutions you've had with this problem.

I would talk to my doctor and be weaned off the Ambien...that's dangerous.

Either lock up the food, don't keep it in the house, or try to get off the ambien.

My dad does this regularly, (no ambien involved). We tied a little string with a bell at the bottom of the doorway to the bedroom, that way if he gets up when he's sleeping it jolts him awake. No joke! Lol! However, if you're up and about in your sleep, you might want to stop the ambien!
