Ambien is nothing to fark around with. Seriously, I took it one night, and woke up a short time later to take another one, thinking that I had forgotten to take it, rinse and repeat like ten times. THEN I decided it was a good idea to take a bath on top of all that.

/ended up in the psych ward a couple days cause if that.

t isn't dangerous to walk sleepwalkers, contrary to popular belief, though they will be disoriented for some time while they regain their bearings.


See, I've always heard that you're not supposed to walk them.

Huh.

THIS

I was given it at the ER,they said to stop me vomiting but I had also not slept in 2 days from bronchitis,and holy shiat all it did was make me very irrationally angry and high. fark that shiat.

Why is this shiat legal? You hear stories kike this all the time.

LIKE stories LIKE this.

Shadowknight: You had what is called a "paradoxial effect." Any drug has a certain percentage of people that will have the exact opposite effect as normal. I have given Benadryl to over a hundred patients with allergic reactions via IV, and most drop out almost immediately and start drooling on themselves. Every once in a while, though, you get a person having crazy jitters, hyperactivity, and almost a manic personality.

Its always weird, and sometimes entertaining.


I've had other medications do the same thing,minus the high. Zoloft was the absolute worst. It made me straight up crazy.

Also "Another sever at the diner said she couldn't believe Ms Ferrero didn't wake up once she hit the water."

I'm not even sure what that means in this context.

Marley'sGirl: AverageAmericanGuy: There are too many people out there taking too many drugs to treat too many conditions that they don't really have.

THIS!

Since when is sleepwalking to your death more preferable than being a little tired at work?

Since always.

A friend of mine has to put his car keys in his safe when he takes Ambien after he had an episode where he woke up in his car after having driven to the airport.

He found himself in the parking garage with no wallet and in his pajamas and no way to pay to get out of the garage. The airport is a 20 minute drive for him.

And he's a pilot. Commercial, but not large passenger. Just small business jets.

Said it scared the shiat out of him because he didn't recall any of it.

CruJones: Mugato: Why is this shiat legal? You hear stories kike this all the time.

Because 99% of people have no I'll effects. I take Ambien a couple nights a week, I've had problems sleeping for thirty years. Never had any issues with it. Fantastic.

Also great for working around jet lag. Whenyouretrying to go to sleep at three pm internal clock time, it's helps to have assistance.

I wonder what the actual percentage is. I suspect it's fewer than 99% that have no ill effects (sleep walking is not the only side effect)

It would be great if these side effects were more predictable too. I don't like taking any kind of drug for fear of side effects and I think one time I may have actually experienced them by the power of suggestion - I filled a prescription, popped a pill and went online to research what I had just eaten. I don't suppose I'll ever know for sure, but i didn't take any more after that.

All the info I see when I research stuff seems to just list possible side effects, not prevalence. Sometimes they say some of the side effects only occur in "rare" cases, but WTF is "rare"? And that means the other side effects aren't "rare"?

Awesome.

Not really; now THIS is a really old meme.

tinycow71: just take half a pill....and a beer.

Uh you probably shouldn't be mixing that shiat with alcohol. Same for benzos and opioids.

Nonsense. Washing a xanax down with a glass of wine is preferred by many.

In the right amounts it could kill you.

/Be safe and have fun people.

You would think that the Ambien Walrus would know how to swim, but here we are.....

\I know the picture's up there, just hadn't been put *this* way
\\good friend of mine takes Ambien, and let me tell you, it's funny as hell in the morning to see what the Walrus did the night before

carrierx: I do get people tell me that 1 beer + 1 vicodin will kill me. Bulllllshiat...
..

Yes that is bullshiat. But in higher amounts,meaning far more booze and hydrocodone,it can kill you. Plus vicodin has acetaminophen in it too so plenty of that and alot of booze won't be very nice to your liver. Stay safe and have fun.

I'm like this with Prozac. Three doses of Prozac (roughly one day's worth) had me move from kind of depressed to actually making a plan to do it.
