Suicide urges

Anonymous Visitor — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 17:51:15 +0000

Wow! After reading these comment’s about Ambien, and the affects’. I thought I was the only one…out there that wanted to commit suicide. I take Ambien every night to sleep. Sometimes’ I take it to alter my mind…because it is always racing with thoughts. My life is a mess. I’m broke…been homeless a few times. Friends and Family have failed me. Filed Bankruptcy twice, and I’m only 35. No children. I have a few degrees’. I had a Horrific childhood and adulthood. I feel like throwing in the towel. Sometimes, I feel if I keep taking Ambien, Zoloft, and Zanex….I will die in my sleep. I love to sleep….because I don’t have to deal with life. Depressed…with no medical insurance. I’m a Christian…tired of praying with no answers’. I have no Faith anymore. Tell me where do I go from here. Church…I tell myself…I
m going..but I would rather sleep and turn the phone off. I have no job. Been on so many unlimited interviews’. I smile and come off with a lot of energy, and answer all the right questions’, and I
m qualified for the positions’….but no one calls back. After reading a lot of these postings’ glad to see I’m not the only one going through a difficult storm. Ms. Help please don’t committ suicide! After reading your post, you make me want to live again.

Okay, I have saved 136 10mg tablets of Ambien and I have about 70 2 mg of Klonapin, 8 25mg of Amytriptyline, and 8 25 mg of Chlomiprmine. If I wait 10 more days, I increase the Ambien to 166 10 mg tablets and the Klonopin to 150 2 mg tablets. Have I finally save enough to do the job? I reach the point where I am ready. And, please no I am sorry for you and please don’t do it. Just give it to me straight! rxin2008@gmail.com Eric

I get it. Everything in my life has gone down the tube. I got hurt at work and my employer has been nothing but nasty. I am behind on my bills because I can not work. I have no income coming in. At this time I do not have any money, not even one dollar.

They want to repossess my home and my car. They are not willing to work with me.

I got an attorncy due to the workers comp situation but that could take months to years. Nothing I have done has made the situation better. Depressed, you better believe it. Commiting suicicide seems to be the only answer. Doctors do not even seems to care. No one around me even seems to see the state I am in. Am I being selfish, Yes. An ambien overdose combined with other meds is the only thing I see

that will end this mess. Maybe then I can have peace. There is none here.

Snorting Ambien

Anonymous Visitor — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 07:22:51 +0000

To those seeking how much ambien to take for it to actually claim their life, i cannot help you there. I’ve done ambien twice in my life, the first time was during school at lunch and my friend asked if i wanted to take some. At the time i was heavily into drugs and was in the curious stage you could say, wanting to experiment and go on new “adventures”. I snorted one 5mg pill and headed back to school. It didn’t do too much to me considering the small dosage, my vision was slightly blurred and a bit off balance, but it left me thinking “what if i did more?”. So a few weeks later i was at my friends house, bored with nothing to do, no drugs, no alcohol, so we started looking through the cupboards in the bathroom and all that just looking to get some sort of high. Sure enough we found a full bottle of 10mg and half a bottle of 5mg ambien. We started off with about 60mg each,(there was 3 of us)crushing them up and snorting them. By the time we were finished both bottles had maybe 5-10 pills left and we were feeling great. At that moment in time i didnt realize how high i was. We must’ve taken at least 200mg each. I was seeing 6x of everything, stumbling around like a drunken idiot, yet i thought in my head this was normal. My friends mom got off work and came home to find us how we were. As i was headed to go upstairs to get away from his mom i blacked out and fell head first into the pantry door, damaging it severely, right in front of her. I quickly scurried upstairs and shortly after she came up telling my friend that he was to take a UA, and for some reason, she let him drive to the drug&alcohol place. Thats where it got really bad really fast. As we were heading there i remember looking out the window of the car and seeing 12 odd lanes and god knows how many cars. His mom was screaming out non stop until we got there, he had almost hit many cars on the way and when we arrived, parked halfway on the sidewalk. All this time i was sitting in the backseat calm as could be, thinking this was a natural everyday event. Somehow my friend managed to talk his mom into letting him drive back, which is ridiculous. Needless to say the ride back was just as hectic. Once we arrived back at his house the effects started to wear off, although i was extremely drowsy. Not too long after i went to my house and fell asleep not even 5 mins after laying down, going into a deep coma-like sleep for about 32 hours. I have not done ambien since and i dont plan to or recommend it to anyone. It is by far the scariest drug i’ve done in the sense that it makes you rationalize everything you do into being ordinary, while realistically you might be 2 seconds from death. Those looking to use this as an exit out of this world i really suggest not to, if you feel that there is simply no other solution then please at least use some other method. All that you will get out of it is a disturbing high and a gooood nights/days sleep. Only use it if you are prescribed it and can use it safely in moderation.

Emergency Room

Anonymous Visitor — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 19:13:11 +0000

I had a couple of drinks then decided to go to bed so I took my ambien as usual. I layed down then decided I didn’t want to go to bed so I got up. I went into my back yard and decided to build a fire in the fire pit since it was so cold out. The next thing I remember in being in the emergency room with 1st and 2nd degree burns. That was a very brief recall and then I remember being in the car with my husband to come home. Again a very brief recall. The next morning I awoke and my husband begins to tell me what happened the night before. He said I tried to burn myself up and he couldn’t stop me. He called 911 because he said I was trying to commit suicide. I have racked my brain trying to remember this but my mind is a blank. I do blame myself since I shouldn’t have drank and taken the ambien. Before this I have not had a problem with the ambien.

My father gambled all his life savings away and then committed suicide on the 17th of December 2010. Leaving his wife of 25 years with worse than nothing. My entire family is totally shocked. This was not the kind of man he was in his life. My step-mother told me he was taking Ambien for quite some time, along with other drugs he was prescribed. I would really like to know if this is happening to other people. My father supposedly gambled away hundreds of thousands of dollars away in a matter of months. This tragedy has rocked my family and left my step mother destitute. I would hate to think that my father could not control his actions due to this drug as some of the other stories I have read.

Memory, Brain Function Loss

Anonymous Visitor — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 19:03:46 +0000

I was given this drug by my girlfriend for over a year before I found out. I had some ‘friends’ who work for the majjor pharmaceutical company. The first time I was already in bed sleeping after drinking all day. She wanted to be undetected in the hottub with another guy. So, she woke me up and gave me an Ambien. The alcohol/Ambien gave me anterograde amnesia. A year later at the same party she gave me two 10mg to be in the next room with the same guy. It’s been six months and I still struggle with memory issues. I don’t expect it to come back at this point. Part of my job is to make standing presentations. I unable to do that now. I have a caring doctor who is helping me. The anterograde amnesia is wearing off. I remember what must be everything at this point. I have reported this to the police. Arrests are forthcoming.

Wow glad I ran into this site . I thought I have been going crazy. I suffer from depression and self medicate my moods with Hydrocodone. Adding ambein into this already bad situation was the worst thing ever. This drug is very very bad for your brain as it shuts off things we don’t even know. I’m going to stay clear from this drug for ever at all cost.

I am tired of life. I’m a psychiatrist. I want to die. I’m a mother, too, and worry intensely about that. Maybe homicide/suicide is the best choice to limit the suffering. I’m not sure about that. My child is beautiful, brilliant, sensitive. Maybe if I can get her to her father’s he can save her. I tried to be a good mom but I was neglectful in my depression and social withdrawal.

It’s time for me to go. I’m ready. I’m at peace. I will try to ask God for forgiveness right before I lose consciousness. Last time I made the mistake of answering my husbands phone call. That resulted inEMS. Was in respiratory arrest upon their arrival. That time was Trileptal, Lamictal, Ambien, Lunesta, klonopin, seroquel and Geodon samples. Maybe benadryl and phenergan. I don’t remember.

Have been thinking of getting a gun, how to make a noose, accidental auto accident (but where – and how). For gun or hanging I need to be away from where my family can find me. I’ve seen both up close. Not pretty.

Consistent care for my daughter is another issue. The problem is I think shed be better off without me. My medical practice is not profitable. Maybe life insurance will be.

The most impt tactical issue is to make sure I’m not discovered until I have passed.

I have had 4 beers and a bunch of ambien. I’m praying for respiratory arrest. Probably this will be a silent trial run. I will try to arrange an “accident.”

I’ve spent my life in service to humanity and now I’m broken and exhausted and hopeless.

How Much

Anonymous Visitor — Sat, 22 Jan 2011 00:40:44 +0000

I, like many others, came upon this site while seeking the amount of ambien it would take to kill me. It is depressing to read that even a huge amount most likely won’t kill me. I have had bipolar since my teens and tried several times to take my life. The last time was a few years ago when I took a combo of drugs followed by alcohol. All this resulted in was a trip to the hospital where I was given charcoal and put in the psych ward for a few days. My fiancee at the time dumped me b/c he couldn’t take it and my family and friends were fed up w/my attempts. I took a medical leave from my job and did intensive therapy. It helped for a while. Then I got a rare disease that caused crippling pain and various physical damage. It took them two years to figure out what it was. Countless doctor visits, tests and a ton of medication threw me right back into a depression. Oh yeah, I was on prednisone for three years and if you don’t know what that does look it up. It is a nasty drug. It may have saved my life, but it ruined it in the process. I was fit, skinny and active. It caused me to gain seventy pounds, have a swollen face, not sleep and break several bones. I still have not lost all the weight. I had to give away all the clothes I loved. Doesn’t sound like much, but it was very emotional. I’ve lost some of the weight, but will never be skinny again no matter how much I diet or exercise. My body is ugly, full of stretch marks and I’ve never had kids. My legs are numb and tingly due to nerve damage so I have trouble walking. I lost my job and have been unemployed for two years. I am w/o health insurance and got denied medicaid. So I’m off most of my meds, no therapist and other doctors want hundreds of dollars for a fifteen min visit. Healthcare in this country is a nightmare!!! I have a wonderful fiancee now, but he got a job very far from my hometown so we moved. He lost the job before 90 days so no unemployment. I can’t go back to work b/c it is mental torture for me. He doesn’t understand and thinks I’m being a prima donna. The thought of working at a menial job that doesn’t use my degree is beyond depressing. I’m tired of working for assholes. I’m tired of all the women I know living in big houses, having wonderful husbands, beautiful children and not having to work. Why can’t I have that? I am a good person. The disease had me in the icu and caused my body to shut down and I almost died. I curse the doctors that kept me alive. Instead of thinking everyday is a gift I wish I would have died b/c I am in so much emotional pain. No one understands, they keep saying to stay positive, exercise, find a hobby, go to church. I don’t believe in god anymore. If there was one why he let us all torture ourselves like this? I just want to go to sleep and never, ever wake up. Yes, people would be sad, but I think it is selfish of them to want me to stay here in so much anguish just so they don’t have to feel guilt. They don’t have to live my life of agonizing racing thoughts and hopelessness. They go for massages, shop and live in gorgeous homes. My fiancee and I live in a shit hole. He promised to take care of me. Now he wants me to work and be happy making nothing. Love does not conquer all. No matter what anyone says, money does buy happiness, or at least comfort. It certainly would for me. So what if I am materialistic. Look at our country, how can I not be? Maybe if everyone I knew lived like me on an even playing field at every aspect I would have hope, but they don’t. It is all so exhausting and I’m fed up w/hoping things will change for the good. All I get is knocked down over and over again. Please, please, please someone tell me a way to ensure I can get the suicide right this time. I can’t bear (or afford) another bout of failing at it. There should be doctors like Dr. Kovorkian for people like us. Just let us end it if we want to. My only hope right now is not taking my medication. I just want out of life as I know it.

my husband told me tonight, that i am dragging hin into the ground and that no one not even my own brothers who haven’t contacted me in two years care. I do nothing that I say I am going to do and basically I’m worthless and all I do is cause him pain and heartache, why shouldn’t I die tonight. It wouldn’t matter. I have no mother, no father my daughter and grandkids live far away and they wouldn’t miss me.

My wonderful mother in law was found dead this morning. She threw up in her sleep and aspirated because she took ambien and couldn’t wake up because she was sleeping so hard. I’m just trying to find out exactly what made her so that. If anyone can help me it would be most appreciated.

Back in 2010, I stole a bottle of ambien from my friends house. I at first was using it to actually get sleep. Later on it became used to get high. As time went on the ambien got weaker and weaker, It was taking 3 10mg pills to make me sleep, and almost 5 to get me high. Thats beside the point, one day I felt as tho I had no other way to turn than suicide. I figured, no one gives a damn about what happens to me anyways, so I swollowed 15 pills.

I remember falling down my stairs, being held in a corner, and being rushed out of my house on the stretcher; I showed up at the hospital, and I remember the docter telling my dad totake my pants off. I awoke hours later to see my father, mother, step mother, and my nephews mother, at my bed side. I could see the disappointment in their faces.

The next day everyone knew what I had done. Everyone was glad I was alive, but they were appauled at the idea that I could even think to do something like that. The girl who had always been there for me, NO MATTER what else I had ever done wrong in the past, has never spoken to me since then. I’ve lost many friends, respect from my family, and trust from almost everybody.

The insident had caused me to sink into a very deep depression where I attempted suicide on 4 other seperate occasions. I live with a scar on the back of my neck from cutting myself because I mixed Pain Killers and Ambien. My sister started taking the drug to get high, and would walk around like a complete retard on the shit. It makes me sick… Its not worth it, this drug should be taken off the market, thats all I really have to say lol

Drug Abuse

Anonymous Visitor — Sat, 15 Jan 2011 19:35:53 +0000

Hey… so I’m an 18 year-0ld college student now. I took ambien because I couldn’t deal with the guilt I’ve had for the past 5 years of my life. I’ve always been a romantic guy from the start. Always watched those TV shows, those chick flicks, those love stories- and believed they would happen in my life as well. Anyways, four years ago is when the girl I’ve loved for over 5 years (yes, I was a third grader when I met her) committed suicide. I couldn’t do anything to prevent it because she wouldn’t give even a single glance to my direction. I tried to do everything I could and I still live with that guilt. Last year, I lapsed into one of my user’s abuse withdrawals (After the suicide, I fell into hard drug use and self-rehabbed along with military school attendance) and I had dreams of helplessness where hundreds of millions of children would die in front of me. I couldn’t sleep… was too afraid to sleep. So I started to cut again and was only stopped by a girl who would later become my girlfriend. The doctor put me on ambien to try to and stop the episodic nightmares. They did stop, so in that sense ambien was great. However, my addictive personality and need for an outlet of all my emotions made me hide the ambien pills until I would muster enough to overdose. Blackouts and worry were all I caused for others, especially my future girlfriend.

I would only recommend this medication if you know yourself that you are not a drug abuser or have had a past of being one. It is dangerous, and I’m glad that I’m no longer using it. My girlfriend has helped me through the tough times and now I’ve been drug free for nearly a year.

Facts vs. Myths

Anonymous Visitor — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 20:35:26 +0000

I feel for families and loved ones who are affected by living with or knowing someone close who is suffering from depression. I know the need to find fault or blame for this. The truth is that if you take Ambien as prescribed by a qualified doctor, preferably by a board certified psychiatrist, this does not cause depression, and if anything, can help with depression by getting you more quality sleep. I have been on 10mg Ambien since July 2010 (not Ambien CR) and I have never felt better. I am a 52 year old male, and being properly regulated on dose levels of your meds is essential for getting the best results. I wish more people would who are benefitting from Ambien would post their stories. People need to hear the facts, not myths.

Ambien interactions

Anonymous Visitor — Sat, 08 Jan 2011 16:30:48 +0000

I feel for all the people with bad stories about Ambien, but in its defense must say it is not as harmful when taken properly. Doctors need to give better instructions. I never take it until I am already tucked into bed for the night. I wake up many hours later feeling fully rested.

I don’t have the hangover feeling or lost memory as many have complained of, and am told that experience may be the effect of Ambien CR vs. Ambien, or simply taking too much (more than 10mg). My Doc told me that I should never take CR.

I’ve never taken it while anywhere except bed, never slept walk, never driven, nor done anything crazy. I plan to do nothing but sleep – and that’s all I do. I only wish everyone could have the same benefit I do from this product. I’ve always had insomnia, and in the last 2 years started taking 5mg (the lowest dose) during times of pain or stress (which has been pretty much the entire 2 years!).

Just today my mom tried to commit suicide. The Ambien makes her crazy and she does not know what she does after she takes it, she has full blown amnesia when taking this medicine. She suffers from depression and I believe this medicince is making things worse!! She stays in bed all the time, never leaves the house except to see DR for meds. Ambien should be outlawed!!!! Her memory is gone, she can’t concentrate at all. I called 911 and she was taken to hospital and had stomach pumped. She is very very depressed and I hope she can get out of this darkness she lives in every day. I feel Ambien is making her depression worse!! She is talking crazy and does not want to live, she has been taking Ambien for 3 years off and on. She also does not believe that Mental Treatment will work for her, she is LOST!!! I don’t know what to do!!! HELP I am so sad to see all these stories who’s loved ones have lost thier lives to a Sleeping pill… There needs to be something we can do to increase awareness!

i used to take ambien all the time for the high. it was so bad, blacking out for hours at a time, hearing my sink talk to me, seeing double vision, driving on this stuff, drinking on this stuff and mixing other pills. I stopped and realized I had a problem when I took the two I got, and then upon being blacked out, I apparently ate the other six that I had hidden from myself, earlier that day. now its all about 420!

Lover

Anonymous Visitor — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 19:18:37 +0000

My lover passed away this past November. She was in the throes of seasonal affected depression and was taking Ambien to help with her insomnia. Beautiful, brilliant, a hunger for life unlike anything I’ve ever seen nor expect to see again, and an absolute brilliant light in my heart. Somebody who made me a better person and together we were unrelenting in our thirst for life.

She had had at least one episode of sleep driving and there were a few other unusual late night occurrences over the past year while she was on this stuff. I can’t believe I didn’t key off of it. I can’t believe I didn’t recognize that these were extremely dangerous incidents and laughed it off to bizarre side effect. Symptoms of a huge type A personality and somebody at the top of their game much like myself I thought. I don’t sleep well but I’m used to it. I never put these things together.

She was found in her car, in her garage, packed and ready to go to the gym. To meet me. She had our sports drinks ready and her clothing set. Sadly she never made it out of the garage before she passed away. I’ve been reliving that morning over and over and over knowing the second she didn’t show up something was very wrong and awful. How is it possible that today M is not here? If anybody should be here, she should be. It makes no sense at all. None.

I’m struggling with the worst feelings I’ve ever felt in my life and my job requires me to be around tragedy so whatever resistance I’ve built up over the years is of no use. I stay active and run and run and run because otherwise I start losing it. I hope this little posting helps me because I know M would hate to see me like this. I refuse to go on anything despite what my shrink has advised but I don’t feel like it’s getting better. Maybe knowing that I’m not alone is the best help I can get.

Tell all of your friends, family, and especially loved ones that if they’re taking Ambien they are seriously at risk. Find an alternative because I would not wish what I’m dealing with, almost two months later, upon anyone.

I love you M and now always will.

wow. our situations are different, but the words you wrote have a very familiar sound to them. very similar to what goes on in my head. i’m so sorry you have endured so much and that you are in so much pain. i have so much respect for the men and women who fight, and endure so much for our country.

i have contemplated suicide a lot. even tonight. i just want it to be over. too many demons to fight, too much grief loss pain etc. it feels like things will never get better, and as you say, talking doesn’t seem to be that helpful sometimes. i feel so isolated and disconnected that i find myself thinking very similarly that killing myself either wouldn’t cause anyone any grief. or if it did, a little while later, people could resume their lives and it wouldn’t matter. to be honest, i still feel that way a lot.

HOWEVER i know from the experience of being on the other side- having someone i loved commit suicide- that those wounds don’t go away. Adam died almost 10 years ago, and yes, to some extent, life has resumed. meaning, you go back to work, school, etc. but my life, his family’s lives, his kids, they will never be the same. it feels like a gaping hole that never completely scars over.

i still break down sometimes, because i miss him so badly, because he was alone with that much pain and i’m not sure he ever really knew just how many people loved him, or the profound effect his life (and death) had on so many lives. in my mind i still go over and over the what if’s and if only’s and God i’d give anything to go back. could i have stopped it? could i have done anything to help him feel less alone? i’m haunted by it still. suicide leaves so many unanswered questions, in a way “natural deaths” don’t. and the pain can be just as sharp and overwhelming as it was the night i found out he was dead. i know his other friends and loved ones are still deeply effected by it too.

and obviously, even knowing that doesn’t keep my mind from feeling like it’s somehow different in my case. that it really wouldn’t matter, and people would just move on. it’s not logical. so i don’t purport to change your mind, or anything.

i don’t have any answers. don’t know if you will read this. my heart just ached for you when i read your post. and i just wanted to say, for what it’s worth, that your life matters, probably to more people than you will ever know. your death, it will effect people more deeply and in more ways than you can know.

I had the same things happen to me only I almost took it too far! I had always had trouble with remembering that I had already taken it and overdosed myself (non-emergency) causing highly unusual events. One especially bad night I decided at apprx 2 or 3 am that I was going to try to donuts in my card in my yard. Thank God I lived in the country at the time. My boyfriend had come out waved me down and said I came staggering out of the car-with our dog at that-walked up to him and handed him keys saying “your turn now” needless to say he began to hide the medicine from me checking to see that I took one pill one time. I eventually switched to lunesta which is helps me to stay asleep, but no help getting to sleep. Which can be bad because if it does eventually kick in I am sleeping way too long in the morning. And I can’t do that as I am returning to work following med leave for 2 months. problem needs SOLVED!

My brother took this late Dec 24th, he didn’t feel it was working- 4 hours later he took another one. Sometime around 1am he took the dog and went for a walk. He ened up walking for hours with his dog- the dog broke away from the leash. My brother went after him and both where hit on the highway- killed instantly. He was sleep walking- he was out of it-

He had called me to talk at 1:30 am

he called another friend at 2am

He was lost- asking for help, he had fallen, gotten scraped, he needed help- I wasn’t there for him-

He is gone so suddenly- so tragically- had to be creamated-

I hate Ambien- hate it, even when he took the correct dose it was too muich for him- I am going to get to the bottom of this drug and research it, figure out how many people are dying because of this drug-

Well when i was in 5th grade, Me and one of my friends we just each took 2 of them for no reason all, we didn’t think that we were gonna have to go to the hospital for it…So we take it and like my brother was there and he was like don’t take it, but we did anyways, we were young…you do dumb things sometimes when your young. Anyways my mom wasn’t there cause she was at an AA meeting. After an hour passed i don’t really remember anything because i felt like i was awake and then i wasn’t awake, and i was seeing things that weren’t going on…and i remember i was just wanted to go to sleep. but my brother was trying to keep me awake cause he knew something was wrong w me cause i was unconcious and then i was concious and talking to him , but i was in such a dazed an confused state that its hard to remember everything. But my brother called one of our neihbors and they came over and put me on the couch and i i was trying to sleep and i kept slapp’n me in the face to keep me awake, I was just pissed at them. I was sweating really bad. When my mom got home they brought me and my friend to the hospital. I don’t remember anything really , um the doctors were ripping my clothes off and i was really confused and like whats goin on you know. I didn’t think it was that serious but it was. They put a tube down my nose…THAT SUCKED!!! they pumped my stomach, that also sucked!….and i was in the hospital for awhile. So that was my 1st expeiriance with ambien

Addicted to Ambien

Susan Chana Lask, I applaud you for what you have done with this terrible drug. Unfortunatley it has got me incredibily addicted for over a year now and I cant get any help. I have tried to discontinue Ambien, but the withdrawl symptoms are not tolerable and im not able to function for days with no end. I am also taking at least 30 mg per night. I cant even seem to get my husband to believe me. He thinks its just in my head, just like everyone else. I have begged different doctors to understand my condition and they feel that I will be fine with no other medication to help, and I have tried to go to a mental facility and are way too pricey for our budget. Im 29 years old with 2 young children and my resources are depleting and im afraid im not going to wake up and end up dead if I dont get some help. Im not sure if you can help me, but im so desperate im willing to reach out to anyone that will listen. Thank you, Dawn

I don’t have much to say about Ambien except that after my mother took it, she committed suicide. Medications and chemicals that go into people’s bodies’ should be a little more thought out. It’s so unnatural for these chemicals to be circulating through your body, and if there is an accompanied side affect that includes suicide, especially…it shouldn’t be on the market. I hope more than anything that she is in a beautiful and peaceful place, but more so, I wish it didn’t have to be this way…

Marijuana & Insomnia

Anonymous Visitor — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 10:08:35 +0000

Im 15 and iv been taking ambien for about a year. I had tried every medicine under the sun for my insomnia but nothing worked except for marijuana. Unfortunately my dad found out about my pot use and forced me to quit or I would be sent away. Since I had no weed to help me sleep I had to turn back to ambien and I took it for about a year when I realized it was becoming a problem and I couldn’t sleep at all without it. Then I started smoking again because I couldn’t take it anymore and my dad drug tested me and caught me and I got in huge trouble and again had to switch back to ambien. I have now been on it for another half year and its awful. I do stupid shit (say weird stuff to friends, knock shit over, make food) without any memory at all. And I will go nights without sleep if i dont have my ambien. I cant tell my parents about my problem because they will think im a huge drug abuser and they will cut me off and I will go into horrible withdrawal.

So now since I have no hope of getting help im just planning on taking ambien everynight until im 18 and im able to start smoking again and get off this shit.

Ambien Overdose has never had any sort of agenda. In fact, the site was originally just a place to post information about Ambien. I had no idea that the comments would be so one-sided and frightening. Regardless, we still have no agenda and therefore I don’t mind posting about another site as a favor.

Ambien / Tylenol / ICU

I took Ambien and I can not remember what happened after. I was told when I woke up in ICU 3 dasy later that I overdosed on Tylenol and was almost dead when my husband found me. I was on a respirator for 2 days. I ended up in a mental facility for 2 weeks and I lost my job. Never take this medication!
