I hate ambien

Well it has been a while since I was on.  things are going alright, Still have lots of court things going on. Also still waiting for drug court to begin. The stupid thing is I keep getting things like ambien. My doc knows my history but still gives it to me. I am stupid for getting it filled. Since my last screw up I have done really good. It seems when the depression lows hit I am more vunarable. Last month had problems with sleeping, one night couldn't sleep not at all and in morning i took a few ambien.  It still didn't work so I took a few more total of 4 10mg. I have taken more in the past with no problems just good sleep. Well this time was different, i ended up passing out and had the ambulance called out for me. All I remember is waking up 4 hours later restrained to the bed in the hospital getting a lecture from the nurse or doctor don't remember. My husband came back from offshore and so disappointed in me.  My parents want to send me away to a drug rehab. I only messed up that day and will never take ambien again. I know now I need help and can't wait to start drug court, only I don't want to tell judge what I did cause don't know if that will affect his decision. I am good now, husband is back home and watching me carefully. I just wish they would understand what is going on with me. heck I wish I knew what was going on with me. I will be on more and posting more just to keep myself grounded. just wanted to share....

yea ambien is not something to play around with. I have 3 children and to many mornings I wake up and remember nothing that happened the night before I would do things like walk outside, cook food, just crazy stuff just never understood why I couldn't remember. I would even get up and take more meds and not remember. I hope your neice realizes how dangerous this drug can be and stop before it gets to bad

hey nice to hear from you, yep I flushed the rest of the ambien also. everytime I took it I never remembered the previous night, not a life I want to live. I am back on the right track.  I do take meds for bipolar take Seroquel 800mg and Trileptal 600mg. it works great when I stay on them. they are so expensive even with insurance so some times I might run out before my husband gets paid and of course that is the times that I end up messing up.  Those medicines also cause really bad withdrawal symptoms even after one day so I get a little despirite. The best things is it helps with the migraines. But yes I will keep posting. Yall guys are like my family, it helps so much to have the support but also give support :)

Hey...Hi !!!

Sorry to hear about this.  I don't like ambien either!!  I've never taken it but my Mother has.  She did some pretty bizzare stuff and didn't remember a thing!!  She flushed them!

Are you taking anything for the depression?

You need to get strong here. Don't let your doctor give you any of this stuff. You can't handle it and you know it !!

I was thinking about you...There's a post on the substance side about forgery and,of course,I thought of you.  Maybe you can look for it and reply?

Keep posting,okay??
