Ambien and Sin

[Nicollle]

A few times when I’ve taken an ambien and didn’t go to bed right away I’ve done things that could be considered sinful(nothing illegal). I wasn’t totally out of control of my actions, but my judgement was distorted a bit. When does it become a sin? Is the Ambien a mitigating factor?

You should ask your confessor about it and he will be able to help you discern whether or not what you did was sinful. Of course, it also depends on what you actually did, which you haven’t mentioned.

You might want to ask you doctor too. Ambien should make you to be “totally out control of your actions.”

It sounds as if it is not prudent for you to take Ambien. As your doctor to find something that does not cause you to lose control of your actions.

I don’t lose control of my actions completely. It just affects my judgement a bit. I’m definitely more outgoing and do not have the same inhibitions if I don’t go to bed right after taking it, but I’m not dangerous or anything.

Ambien is great for insomnia after years of not sleeping. Although I have experienced some mild hallucinations and have gotten up and moved things around in the dark inside my bedroom, while talking to someone I thought was there, but the sleep is worth the risk. I was miserable for to long.
