Can Ambien really make you say things you don't mean?

"It is possible, especially if the person took more than the prescribed dose or was taking other drugs at the same time, that an individual might say things that he/she normally would not. This often happens with alcohol as the benzodiazepine type drugs act on the brain in ways similar to alcohol. The two drugs can have an additive effect on brain function." - Jim Galligan
