Murder Blamed on Sleep Apnea
Pennsylvania v. Ricksgers. In 1994, Michael Ricksgers was convicted of the murder of his wife. He claimed he'd accidentally killed her during a sleepwalking episode, which defense lawyers argued was provoked by a medical condition, sleep apnea. Prosecutors presented an alternative explanation: that Ricksgers was upset that his wife was planning to leave him. Ricksgers told police that he awoke to find a gun in his hand and his wife bleeding in bed beside him. He said that he might have dreamed about an intruder breaking in. That didn't sway the jury. Ricksgers was sentenced to life in prison without parole, according to the Associated Press.

Duane McDade said:I can't believe that you all are missing the point! Ambien has nothing to do with this. Parasomnia is a brain disorder not drug induced. It may be drug inhanced but taking ambien is not going to set you on a primevil murder rampaged. Oh my #$%^&! god!

Belinda You might want to try Melatonin for a while, its over the counter stuff, but this would only used to set up a sleep pattren. You do the same things every night at bed time every night at time same time etc, etc... but please ask your Doctor if he thinks this would work for you. But this would be one of the best ways to wean you, just a little help is what melatonin is.

I am interested in what you had to say about Ambien......I have never taken this for sleep but currently I am taking remeron and trazadone because I was originally diagnosed with insomnia......I am new to cpap therapy I am wondering if I should continue with my meds or start to wean myself off with the help of my doc.... I am just starting to keep my mask on for the whole night, granted my mouth falls open I am waiting for my new chin strap.....
Your feedback would be greatly appreciated:)

My 30 year old DD has both sleep apnea and parasomnia (the latter of which may be due to her seizure disorder, rather than the sleep disorder). Several times a week she will jump up out of bed and start talking basic "word salad" and not go back to bed until I get up and tell her to. She never remembers the conversations or the activities. I don't know if she would ever have the potential to be violent, but I always keep an eye on her when she does this.
