Ambien is no joke!

[Timma]

Remember those threads by Rado? The good old ones started when he took ambien?

Well today my gf called me and said she got to work and the house across the street had cop cars at it. She knew the person living there. The guy hung himself in the garage and the cops had it open right when they got there. She saw the guy hanging there. Crappy way to start the day.

Well turns out the guy was on anti depressants and ambien. Made him crazy. Guess he was found in someones backyard nearby recently saying he was looking for his friends. My gf was on ambien at one time and she would call people in the middle of the night screaming at them and not remember the next day.

So anyone who's on ambien get off that shit no matter what. And rado next time you make a thread you say you didn't we def know now it's the ambien.

Crazy what that shit will do to you. Yet they keep prescribing it.

I never had any of those problems...but, I do remember hallucinating a couple of times though. I'm afraid to take it now- especially with Kenley.

yep, is so so many situations the only thing that is needed is a lifestyle change for these people being prescribed all these depression, sleep aids etc..

if people would only change the way they eat, exercise, go out into nature and take in the world etc.. 90% of them would be much less stressed out and less depressed. not all but most.

anti depressants increase the risk of suicide especially in teens and young adults.

I totally agree.

anti depressants increase the risk of suicide especially in teens and young adults.

And it's supposed to decrease depression. Go figure.

that said though, there are exceptions to the rule. people that actually need these meds. but i would guess only about 10% of the people using them actually need them to get better.

You're right. My gf is in that 10%. She's been on meds ever since she was very little. She has tried to come off them before and it hasn't worked.

Any type of medication poses a serious risk. You just have to be careful and know when to draw the line

Its a hypnotic. I was on the shit and couldnt believe the shit I posted while I was on it. I drove to the store one morning after taking it and bought like $80 worth of pre made meals from the deli and had no recollection when I opened the fridge that after noon. They call it "Sleep Driving" and its real.
That shit is poison!

reminds me, what happened to Rado?

Ambien will make you NOT remember WTF you did the night before; plain and simple....Ambien can help you get your sleep back....What people do is learn how to fight the pill while it makes you tired and it can fuck with you bad; it does feel good being on it and not going to sleep, not going to lie:)...I can see how people can become so addicted to them...It should be taken as you're in bed about to sleep, NOT while you're still watching T.V and waiting for it to knock you; just wont happen.

I've done this several times and what happens is this; you still act coherent and just don't remember shit the next day....Hence me posting threads I didn't remember I did....Dr's give it because it does work....What most people do is abuse it(like other shit too)and end up dead or hurt....I still take from time to time....Not a pill popper myself but it does help me regulate my sleep:)

What I don't do anymore(hence no more threads that I don't remember)is take it while I'm still up doing shit....If I need it, I take it as I'm in bed and lights are going out...I sleep great and wake up feeling great....It gets my sleeping pattern back into shape; but not for long....Ever since my Father passed in 2000, my sleeping issues have been all fucked up.

When I can't sleep(like now)...I don't always resort to Ambien....I do take it when I'm like this and have a big day tomorrow or I know I really need the sleep...I'm not working the rest of the week, so I could care less when I hit the sack tonight....She's a sleep next to me, my son is out, and my mind is just speedy as always.

Anti-D's have been known to make people suicidal; it even tells you on the pamphlet...I do think that a lot of people resort to pills rather than try to resort to some sort of an alternative.

I'm a worrier like both of my parents are; can't help it...So my mind is non-stop until I'm out...When my Father passed, I was on all sorts of Anti-D's...

Remeron
Paxil(and CR)
Zoloft
Trazodone 300mgs!!!! Talk about a tranquilizer(Xanax doesn't have shit on this drug here!!!)
Valium

What Dr's do(and they have to)is a trial and error with patients...Not everyone reacts the same to these drugs...SO what happens is that the patient abuses the meds, lies about it and gets all sorts of script, leading into disaster....The pills made me more of a nutcase...Why? It was a mental thing for me....Not like it made me a nut, but I was telling myself I was a nut for being on them:)

Anyways...Just like with anything else...Meds can be safe if used properly...Unfortunately people are not safe with them;)

good post
