"Yes, it is," she said. "Because I heard that she was very young. So if she just took a regular dose, take it off (the market) because it's too dangerous."
The NYPD would not immediately confirm the Ambien connection.
One man told Dennis his girlfriend takes the drug despite so many reported side effects.
"Vomiting, this, that and everything else, and me personally, I go all natural," he said.
An autopsy will determine the official cause of death.
