Hi Scott,
I have not had memory problems I can attribute to the ambien/ativan combo, but since my last mania/depression/mania cycle, I have had a terrible memory anyway. :-) I think if you take the meds and go straight to bed, you should be fine. NEVER, EVER try to drive or consume alcohol while on this combo -- if you live, you will regret it.
Ativan IS addictive, and some people think ambien is too, so I think you should probably start with 5 mg ambien and 0.25 mg ativan (half a 0.5 mg tablet) and work your way up as needed. Just be careful. As always, consult your physician first.
