For me this is sanity. I was never a good sleeper and went DAYS without sleeping. Or eating for that matter. My shrink started me on meds after our first session. I was slowly dying and my sole desire was for a little bit of normality in my life. My grades were terrible, because I was so anxious at night I could not sleep. For me all this was terrible. I was paranoid, anxious and always confused. Ambien has been a life saver. I feel like normal, not completly but this is a lot of stability in my life. Sleep now is a haven, I sleep when I WANT to. I would never overdose on this anyways. I am looking for help not suicide. I am sorry Ms. Medina, but not all teens are addicted to prescriptions drugs. Some, like adults have problems and we need things like this. I am 16 and have been on ambien for a few months.

Baby I am 52, you want psych. prescription drug stories along with the nightmare of Ambien also? I guess I need to write a book! I just happen to be withdrawaling from 14 yrs. of (prescribed) Ambien. Do not get me started on psych. meds. That too is a nightmare.. My heart goes out to the 15 yr. old boy(if true) who has already slowly started his road to addiction.
