Sleeping pill causes "inappropriate or strange automatic behaviour"
An Australian sleeping pill called Stilnox (called Ambien in the US and elsewhere) is suspected of provoking unusual behavior in people.
A suspect sleeping pill is causing Australians to paint the front door, binge-eat, and drive while still asleep, a new study reveals.
The Federal Health Department has received 16 separate reports of odd "sleepwalking" behaviour caused by the drug Stilnox, The Sydney Morning Herald reports.
A woman taking the drug "woke with a paintbrush in her hand after painting the front door while asleep," the Adverse Drug Reactions Advisory Committee said in a bulletin published yesterday.
The health department also received 104 reports of hallucinations and 62 of amnesia relating to the drug.
