  • Ambien use may result in sleepwalking and binge eating, as well as driving, sleep talking, and performing other daily tasks, while under the influence of the drug (asleep).
  • Many individuals who use GHB will risk a deadly overdose, as they are trying to take enough of the drug to be able to experience an "out of body buzz, which would be like watching themselves on television."
