Six of one...

Bacon CheeseburgerOne of my astute readers saw my recent post entitled A New Drug and pointed me to a couple of recent news stories about a real drug on the market called Ambien.

Apparently this wonder of medical science is causing such unexpected side effects as sleep walking, sleep driving, and sleep eating (read here and here). Now, I'm familiar with sleep walking. It's the basic premise of most classic cartoons (and still funny to me today). But sleep driving and sleep eating?? Never heard of it.

I'm not a doctor, and I don't play one on TV, but these stories caused me to think and so I have a question for you: Can anyone think of another drug that messes with your head and gives you the munchies?

Food for thought.
