no worries.  I couldn't do it if i wanted to.  and as for methadone, i was on it for a month  for kidney problems and i personally am the one who chose to stop so i am an addict but i'm not if that makes sense? ANyway the withdrawls were awful.  Also the group of people that we're friends with don't do drugs period.  theyre all ethical med students so i couldn' squeeze meds out of them if i was limpin around with a gunshot wound.  so no worries....but i have heard of people doing crazy things on ambien....i only took it for those two nights and to be honest it really didn't help me get more sleep.  i just felt retarded for a while.  I slept good last night though....it was super windy and i like that. i dunno but it soothes me knowing that stuff's flying all over the place outside.  wierd...i know...how's everyone's night?

be careful trip...did not exactly understand what you meant...3 ambien a night is not helathy 10 mg is the max dose of ambien someone should use...if that does not work, then they need to find something that will help them sleep at a presribed dose and perhaps one day with natural things

Ambien is a drug that is almost impossible to overdose on. I once took a whole Rx, blacked out but came to walking 3 hours later. You say you used to be hooked on dope like pills and methadone? You really shouldn't be taking ambien. I once took some and  then went and got some real dope. I'm just telling you my experience. all the best

Take an older womans advice. Relax.  One day at a time. In my case it sometimes 8 hours at a time. This to shall pass.

You iron bed sheets??????  LOL  

Friends is my fav show!!!! You were cracking me up!  I think I'm going to go get one of my Friend's DVD (of course I have the all the season's) and watch it now...thank you!  Maybe I'll get season 7 too :)


Maybe you should stop doing so much **** for your hubby.  I understand he has a long day but so do you!  If YOU want to do it because it makes YOU feel good about making him happy then that's a different story.  Otherwise why don't you stop and take some time to yourself.  As a mom I know that is just a funny comment to say but seriously if you don't want to iron bed sheets...don't!

u crazy@@@ i'm so here girl!!!  feel like i'm not conncected to my body but i'm still able to function.  My sistuation is , I used to be addicted to methadone...been clean for a year.  My fiance is in med school and i'm a stay at home  mom with our 8 month old baby. we fought today about how he's stressed and tired  wants to go out...and that i'm lonely, sad, even thinking of finding someone to meet with while he's at school.  I know that's crazy bt i sometimes wonder if i could....just to konw that someome has me to look forward to as a pleaseant prospect rather than.."ol ball and chain'   i think if i was in nursing school and doing my sepereate thing it would be easier...i wouldnt sit there and watch till "he gets home"  it's all about him i feel like. I iron his bed sheets, i do laundry, i dust the whole house.., polish his shoes, wash the floors, have dinner on the stove so it's an romantic atmosphere when he comes home, have my baby dressed all cute so he'll notice..i'll do my hair and makeup and wear a cute little black dress and even wear stilletos which i NEVER wear unless i'm going out....light candles everywhere and put on some romantic music...no no snoop dogs "sensual seductive' or wheatever it is..i mean like frank sinatra, micheal buble, natalie cole or something..anyway...he'll hang out for a bit and then he'll go off to our room and study for hours...don't get me wrong..ki know he has to study ...but is there something missing...? am i really so selfish? i do'n' t know anyone here in PA, he doesn't want me to get a job and doens't want me to start nursing school till he's done with med school...it's ALWAYS something....but he pays for everything in the mean time..clothes food, tirps, cars, shopping, dinnners, etc...but still....should i just shut up and live with it and adjust?

Don't worry, I don't think 3 will kill you, but don't do that again and like worried said "be careful!!!"   They are addictive and yes, people do some weird chit on them.
You will probably sleep along time, matter of fact, your probably asleep now. Hope you made it to your bed.

You wont die from 30 mg of ambien but if you are still awake to be writing that is amazing!   It is possible to abuse ambien...I did not think so because I am out 5 minutes after 5 mg, but my friend who gets addicted to anything she takes...had to quit them...she would stay up and do crazy things....be careful!  and DO NOT DRINK!
