My friend died yesterday morning.

My friend died yesterday morning. She had been on Ambien for several years and I had discussed with her the problems she was having, but because she couldn’t remember them happening, she didn’t take me seriously. She was driving without lights the wrong way on a one-way street and had a head-on with a much bigger vehicle. Slight injuries to the other people; very dead friend. I consider the pharmaceutical companies, that continue to make this product, murderers.

      Have you talked to your doctor about your symptoms, and depression? When you make an appointment, bring all your medications with you when you go, and ask the Dr. to review your medications to see if there is something better to help relieve your pain, without the side effects. Pain and depression goes hand in hand, & I was advised by my doctor that ambian can cause depression. or make things worse. I stopped taking ambian because of the depression it caused, and because I woke up last week fully dressed in bed, with keys in my hand…. another one of Ambians terrible side effects. You have a right to life without as much pain as you are suffering. Please ask your doctor to help you, and ask for a referral for counseling, if you can, so you can talk freely to someone without worrying about being judged… Someone who can assist you in living a better quality life with less pain, and the associated depression.
      Be well!

      But if you are a Christian you will understand when God says no idols before me..it seems ambien may be the idol in front of God. God’s plan for you is not to be addicted to man made drugs. He doesn’t want you depressed plotting whether you should live or not. God gave you a beautiful family. If you really died would God be happy that you are still addicted to meds? Jesus died to forgive us and we are to accept and repent for the times we disobey God. Trust and pray to God that he will make you a better role model. Ask Him to show you what kind of example He wants you to be.

    “very” is just being used sarcastically. Way to be sensitive….. If the phar companies/doctor failed to give adequate notice then they might as well put the pills in her mouth because they sure didn’t keep her from taking the pills.

    Sorry for your loss. It sucks.

    I’m so sorry about your friend. But in all fairness, it sounds like you told her of her behavior and she make a choice. She is not only responsible for her own death, but she is also responsible for those “slight injuries” that you mentioned that others received. My deepest condolences for your loss. Take care.
