God bless. the kid, even though he’s 15, understands what’s going on. he’s a very bright boy, bet he does well in school. just needs to work on spelling. back to the point, ambien was a gateway drug to me, i was prescribed ambien when i was 14 years old. i took a 10mg pill, and then decided to make me a midnight snack.. as soon as i was walking upstairs, everything seemed like distorted, the walls were breathing, the ceiling had that fire motion you see in the desert, and it was a very euphoric experience. unfortunately, i wanted to see more and more of that, i wanted stronger visual effects, stronger trips basically. so i started experimenting with LSD, shrooms, morning glory seeds, hawaiian baby woodrose seeds, and some other hallucinogens. then from there on i moved onto stronger stuff, like deliriants, dissociatives, opiates, benzos.. 3 months later after my 1st experiment with ambien, i suffered a drug overdose with klonopin, valium, DXM, and alcohol. i survived it, but i learned my lesson. 2 years later i’m clean, i’ve defeated all my addiction problems, i’m on my 2nd year of law at the university of texas, and me and my fiancee are planning on starting our own law firm in the near future. what i’m trying to say is that giving children/preteens/teens unnecessary drugs that make you feel a certain way will have them looking for other stuff that makes them feel like they felt before.. it’s an early stage of “chasing the dragon”, a heroin/opium term. i understand some children need certain medication to function, but they don’t need to be taking medicine with tolerance buildup and addictive qualities.. but in the end, the parents/doctors decide what’s best for their children. i just wanted to give the people some advice about my past due to prescription medication.

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.
