I was 52 at the time I took ambien 2-4 times a week for about 6 months (insomnia). I started with numbness and tingling in hands and arms. It was bothersome enough to start a symptoms diary. It began progessing further up arms over a few months, until I had numbness of face and tongue. I had MRI of head and saw a neurologist to rule out Multiple Sclerosis. At that point I stopped all supplements (multi vitamin, calcium with vit. D and Ambien). Within 3 days symptoms deminished and were completely gone in a week. I have since reintroduced multi vitamin and calcium with D with no side effects.
