Ambien Pharmaceutical Company Under Fire Amid ‘Roseanne’ Controversy
May 30, 2018 at 12:55 pmPITTSBURGH (KDKA/CNN) — Roseanne Barr blamed the sleep aid Ambien for a series of racist tweets that resulted in the cancellation of her show “Roseanne†by ABC on Tuesday.
Barr tweeted, “guys I did something unforgiveable so do not defend me. It was 2 in the morning and I was ambien tweeting.â€
In another tweet, Barr doubled down, saying that she has “done weird stuff while on ambien-cracked eggs on the wall at 2am etc –â€
Ashleigh Koss, a spokeswoman for the North America region of Sanofi, the maker of Ambien, said in a written statement Wednesday, “While all pharmaceutical treatments have side effects, racism is not a known side effect of any Sanofi medication.†. . .

A continuation of the article shows that Ambien has a great many detractors. It was the medication that Patrick Kennedy used to explain his erratic behavior in at least one car crash.
If one needs help in going to sleep, instead of Ambien, they should try giving up coffee, exercising, and banning all electronic usage within 2 hrs of bedtime.
