Thanks for the info. Some have experienced memory issues while on Dut as well, and while there are no drug interaction warnings concerning both drugs (there is one for Ambien and Nizoral), perhaps the two together intensified the effect. I was taking a very strong dose (2x the recommended dose) for about 6 months, so it is quite possible that I am still experiencing sides from it. I did not, however, encounter the most common problem, which is sleep-walking. Other than the memory issue, it was very effective. Hopefully, things will improve over the next couple of weeks and I can rule out Dut as the cause, as I'd hate to have to stop taking it.
