		<description>Ambien helps me fall asleep, but it doesnt help me STAY asleep. I sometimes have to take 1 and 1/2. It sometimes it still doesnt put  me out. I need to try something different. Usually after the regualar normal dosage (1) i will feel, i little &quot;sluggish the next day. Im going to see if i can find what u recommended... thanks~</description>

		<description>Today is one month after the loss of my daughter.  She took Ambien so she could sleep.  When visiting her in October I told her she should go to her doctor and get off this horrible drug.  She told me of cleaning her house and not remembering, gardening at midnight in her sleep and a neighbor told us how they found her walking down the middle of the road at midnight and had to physically wake her.  One month ago we got the call she had shot herself.  It has been a nightmare for my husband and myself.  This drug should be taken off the market.  She was 41 years old with 2 children she lived for.  The youngest is graduating this year.  She made plans to visit us in Florida this spring to watch her niece dance.  Please pass this on.  Maybe it will save some other person from shedding the tears and horror we have gone through.  If it will save one life it will be worth it.</description>

		<description>Not to sound harsh, but it sounds like a lot of the problem is your reaction to your problems rather than your problems themselves.  As long as you look at the world in terms of what others have/experience in comparison to yourself, you will be dissatisfied. Some things you might want to think on... Why do you want someone to &quot;take care of you&quot;? Why do you think you are too good for a job that doesn&#039;t use your degree? You say other people are selfish because they want you to stay alive but what kind of selfishness does it take to opt out with suicide? The ONLY person you consider in suicide is yourself, it is the epitome of selfishness.</description>

		<description>HI Olga,
If you could recommend a doctor in NY, any supplements or sleep rituals that have helped you out, it would be much appreciated.  Your story seems similar to mine.   Thanks !</description>

		<description>Hi,
I am not Olga, but I share your story and your desperation. I want to get off Ambien,
but cant seem to. Without sleep though,  I am in no better shape to get through my day or stay healthy than when taking the pills. Hormones, busy mind or sleep / wake rythyms may factor in in my case but none of the solutions have been successful for me.
I live in NYC so maybe we can keep in touch about our findings, solutions and progress.
Thanks</description>

		<description>Obviously you know that everything you do comes from a choice you made.  Without knowing the situation with your son and his father, it&#039;s easy for me to tell you that you should go after having custody of your child.  Some people say that you can&#039;t pick your family, but you can,  Assuming that you care about this child, and would feel bad leaving him behind, the clear thing to do would be get the ball rolling on finding out about custody. Not kill yourself. Everyone else you come into contact with that bring you down, forget about them.  I&#039;m 25 years old so this is something I am trying to work on too.  But getting rid of any negativity in your life is a great start.  People will get over it.  You should never consider ending your life, especially with a small child.  If you&#039;re worried about finances, there are many resources you could find, just by googling them.  Don&#039;t give into the bullshit these people are feeding into you.  There is still a lot to be done with your life, and you just need to be a strong woman and fight for what&#039;s right and what you want.  Don&#039;t give in, it won&#039;t be a quick path back to a normal life, but you can definitely do it.</description>

		<description>I agree that the first thing to do when you feel suicidal should be going straight to the ER.  This is a very common thing.  They will have specialists there who can evaluate the medications you may be on and try to find you something that could work better.  If not having insurance is the issue, I know of a lot of hospitals that work with individuals struggling with money.  They can set up payment plans, amend your balance due to a lower number which may be more affordable.  Or in one case I know of, someone I know had his entire bill taken care of by the hospital, most likely from some sort of grant.  There are many options,  Plus many life insurance policies do not cover suicide.</description>

		<description>This drug is a nightmare. If I have read up on it I NEVER would have used it!
I now wonder if the side effects will ever leave 100%. Can you have side effects ever so often?</description>

		<description>I understand where you&#039;re coming from, although it&#039;s not entirely true. Before Ambien made me suicidal, I most definitely took it as prescribed. Not every night, either.

On another note, I was prescribed a Benzo, Klonopin for a little over two years. I NEVER took more than prescribed, infact I took less. It started creating dependency problems for me, as well as a tough time discontinuing it. So, issues can still develop even when using a medication as prescribed.

I&#039;m glad Ambien has been working out for you.</description>

		<description>Just so you know I am a licensed social worker, a great job and four teenage kids, two on full college scholarships, one for academics and one for lax. I have NO HISTORY of any substance abuse, I dont even drink. I went thru two years of severe insomnia after I went thru a divorce. My doctor prescribed me ambien because I wasn&#039;t able to sleep at night, I took it not to get high but to sleep.  If you made a comment like this you probably have no idea what severe insomnia is like. I took it to sleep so I could get up for work, in the morning, and at first it is great.  But the side effects are detrimental and very real.  Until you walk in the shoes of something , you should not make rude comments like that.</description>

		<description>Started taking ambien 2 years ago because of insomnia. At first it was a God send, then  I started to feel very moody and forgetful so I tried taking other things like melatonin, but it didnt work. On the ambien I started to send out weird texts while I thought I was asleep and I would be talking to people on the phone and have no recollection of it the next day. The mornings I was groggy and non functional til noon. It has been 4 days since I have taken it, I have had violent nightmares and felt apathetic and depressed. Today is the first day I feel a little better but I am still a little anxious. Ambien can ruin lives</description>

		<description>Generics of zolpidem are variable in strength. Beware! The effects are variable &amp; unpredictable as well. Beautiful consistancy in efficacy - but side effects like amnesia &amp; unusual behavior are significant. Sweet dreams!</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been taking so many things since June 2011. Have been prescribed Ambien over several different times and it knocks me right out, i haven&#039;t been prescribed more than 10mg. My doctor and the doctors at the hospital that when i first experience no sleep at all for 3 to 4 days never wanted to prescribe me any consistently so i just been on it off and on, but yet still find myself going through after almost a year. I&#039;m only 24 about to be 25/ no kids, but yet i fear going forward in life because of this. I fear vacationing, dating now because i CAN&#039;T sleep over others house. People don&#039;t seem to take me as serious as i explain, but i understand because the may have never experienced it. I DON&#039;T WANT TO TAKE ANYTHING ELSE ANY LONGER TO SLEEP, I AM TOO YOUNG FOR THIS. I WISH I COULD HELP YOU AND I WISH YOU COULD HELP ME! I hate that there is no way for a doctor to actually find out what is wrong or actually diagnose those like us.</description>

		<description>I would also like to add that I have trouble sleeping too. I have found that moderate exercise during the day is helping me sleep more at night. I also found that my hormones were out of wack and I use a transdermal dose of progesterone once a week. The progesterone is for women. 

Everyone is different and different things will work. Gererally exercise works pretty good for many people. I have a co-worker who had a sleep study done on her and she had to get one of those CPAP machines apparatices that you wear to bed. But please don&#039;t give up. There is a solution for you, you just have to find it. 

You matter. There is a plan and a purpose for your life. People care about you, I care about you. God loves you and so do others.</description>

		<description>My son has complained of experiencing these very symtoms. He says nothing else works for his insomnia. I&#039;ve been trying to get him to go to a naturopath as that is what helps me. He is very skeptical about natural medicine, but I can tell you it helps more than going to an MD. I hope you will consider going to a Naturopath. Their not phoney&#039;s, they really do know what their doing. Ask around to get a good one.</description>

		<description>My husband is to go to court in the next 2 weeks for the charges of incest, child molestation and aggravated child molestation. We have 3 children our oldest at the time of the alleged incident was 13, just last year, was prescribed AMBIEN for insomnia.  The night this incident supposivly happened she had taken her medicine as prescribed. She started talking slurred and out of it, her dad then walked her to bed, shortly after she came back into the dining room where we were and sat at the table with her head down we thought she was playing at first but he ended up having to pick her and toted her to her room. He returned into the living room Long story short 3 days after that night she called me from a friends house and said her daddy had sex with her. She told the investigators he had her send a pic of her private area to his phone and vica-versa needless to say there have yet to be any pics recovered, I took her to a specialist and no signs of penitration, same report from the ER doctor and the rape kit was a negative.  The night she told me this he was arrested at his job and after spending 21 days in jail he lost his job that supported our family for many years was ordered to have no contact to me, our children, and any of my family.  He has no prior arrests nor convictions, and the craziest is that him and her were the bested of friends 100% daddys girl always had his back no matter what our family has been torn apart and I truely believe b/c  of the AMBIEN!! Also on the prescription papers the pharmacy gives you it says NOT to be given to children under the age of 18 and that the side effects in children are more sensitive and I quote &quot;Especially with dissiness, headaches, and HALLUCINATIONS!!!!!!!</description>

		<description>my 79 yo grandfather was recently having problems sleeping and his family doc prescribed him ambien. He started the meds and within 4 days he took his own life. He was a father, grandfather, and great grandfather. He was a very happy and content man having all that he needed and a strong fmily base. We were all shocked that he did this, never would he have done this, we truely believe that had he not been prescribed ambien, he&#039;d still be here today... please think twice before taking this obviously dangerous drug</description>

		<description>My son died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.  The autopsy report confirmed that he had taken Ambien the night of his death.  He had an adverse episode with Ambien 2 months before - waking up in the morning to discover that he had ransacked his closet, had punched a hole in his apartment wall, and had disassembled and reassembled his pistol, with absolutely no recollection of his actions.  My wife is a nurse and knows the dangers of Ambien.  My son went off the Ambien for over 6 weeks.  The day of the night my son died, the Army doctor prescribed him Ambien, NOTING in my son&#039;s medical records that he was doing this against his better judgment, and for my son to come back in 2 weeks.  Obviously, my son never made the return trip. 

Now to your question about can you appeal the Medical Examiner&#039;s Manner of Death determination.  I was very fortunate to have a Medical Examiner who agreed to let me present my case that my son did not commit suicide, i.e., my son did not INTENTIONALLY kill himself.  I wrote an 8 page dissertation, including the expert opinion of a psychologist who specializes in adverse drug events.  The Medial Examiner circulated my argument to a number of his peers nationally.  The outcome was that the Medical Examiner revised the Manner of Death to &quot;Not Determined.&quot;  

It was a long and arduous process to get my son&#039;s Manner of Death changed.  It is not easy, and will take perseverance.  It will cause you to stay in your grief, but I believe that it will be worth it in the end.  It was for our family.</description>

		<description>Please just throw the ambien away!!!   Please turn to Jesus and ask him to help you.   Get up early in the morning and go for a long walk outside and walk all day long til 8 pm if you can where you live.   Talk to God in your mind and heart along the way and drink plenty of water.   When you get home eat asparagus, chicken or fish and rice and drink lots of water.   Take a long soothing hot bath or shower and tell yourself you forgive everyone and everything and yourself and you love everyone and yourself.   Go to bed and listen to soft relaxing music.   I pray God gives you the rest that only he can give and your life changes TOTALLY.</description>

		<description>My heart goes out to you.   I am so sorry for your loss.   I suffered methane gas poisoning while working for HUD in 2000 on a Desaster Response in Tarboro, NC.   I have one son I can depend on but he is married to a fatally jealous woman that has a physchotic mother and sister.   I then suffered accidental overdosage of antesthesia in 2002 and had to quit my HUD job.   A man I met on line proposed marriage to me to take care of me as I was living alone in this condition.   Of course I was rediculed beyond belief for accepting his proposal and no one &quot;got it&quot; that i NEEDED someone to help me in my condition.   It turned into a horrible insult against me and we both went into deep depression and heartbreak from the attitudes of friends and family toward us and our prospective marriage.   I left him and tried to move back to my hometown and work.   I was still rediculed for leaving him and because we drank beer on the deck at sunset it was told the beer did it.   It seemed that anything negative my family and my D I L &#039;s mother could make bad out of my life... she said it and did it.   I fortunately made a lot of money that year selling real estate and bought a home in Orange Beach, AL.   No one understood the damage nurologically and cardiovascularly to my head and system from the methane gas and ansthesia but they understood perfectly the accusations of drinking beer and mixing them with antidepressants.   My family began overdosing me to rob me.   And they have gotten away with it for over a decade now.   

I moved up north to get away from them all and be safe.   I had gone through several overdoses by my cousin Kathy and I believe Diane and Donna.   Police will not do anything about it.   I MEAN NOTHING.   NOT EVEN RIGHT A DECENT POLICE REPORT FOR A RESTRAINING ORDER.    

My DIL up north wanted to turn everything I had wrong with me to DEPRESSION.   The doctor there gave me celexia, ativan, ambien, and several other drugs.   I was out of my mind from the mixture of these drugs and their intense strength within weeks and unable to cope with life with them on top of my nurological damages from methane gas and anesthesia.   My family was attacking me from ever direction, insulting me, alienating me, misunderstanding what was wrong.   

I almost died from all of this and no one believes it.   They all saw me drink a beer so alcohol is their problem of choice.   These drugs are fatal and hard to come off of after taking them for a month or so.   They camouflage other serious medical issues and make it impossible for you to think and communicate properly.   I am sure as I almost did...  your son probably was very frustrated with not being able to communicate what these drugs were doing to him, his mind, and his life.   It is horrible that doctors still prescribe these meds fully knowing what they do to people.

Yes.   The Klonipin which is the same as ativan did intensify the Ambien and yes I know because I was prescribed both together wrongfully.   Ambien and Ativan should only be administered by doctors in hospitals under care and observation of doctors and nurses.   I lived ALONE sick in a state alone with only my son and his wife when I was prescribed these drugs.   My heart goes out to your son and what he went through and to you for losing him.  I have lost my son also who is ALIVE because he will not listen to me or believe me.   His mother in law and family are having much fun overdosing me now 5 states away from him and lieing to him.   I have lost everything and still fighting for my life.

God bless you Judy</description>

		<description>It is said that Ambien is the doorway into the subconscious mind. It makes you act out you unconscious desires in a sleep-like state. The problem with this is you may not like what you find in your unconscious mind.

The future of Ambien is awakening people in semi-conscious states. This drug has awakened people from comas!! It is also used for stroke victims and for other brain disorders. Remember, Ambien started off as a medication for stroke vitcims.</description>

		<description>All this crap about wanting to die is BS. The unfortunte reality is if you wanted to be dead, you would be. The reason you aren&#039;t is simple, you lack the backbone to do what it takes to accomplish the objective. 

As long as there are firearms and high places, you have no excuse; velocity and gravity are your friends. Don&#039;t have acess to a firearm? Drive to your local rough side of town and look for a drug deal going down. Try walking up and taking their drugs without paying. You&#039;ll either get the stuff to take that will kill you or they&#039;ll kill you on the spot; either way, mission accomplished.

Or go to a donut shop, pick up a butter knife and make like you&#039;re going to stab one of the cops sitting there. His patner (and probably several other cops who just happen to be there) will lite you up quicker than you can think, dead at last, dead at last.

Don&#039;t know about all this God stuff. It seems a bit illogical to me but hey, I&#039;m mortal, so what do I know? 

But if you look at the whole thing, there&#039;s a God that reportedly created you, loves you, watches over you, and everything will be OK one of these days if you just do what a bunch of humans say God told them to write down for ya a few thousand years ago. 

BUT if you don&#039;t do as your told, well, He&#039;s gonna hit the ol&#039; smite button and set you on fire! Tough love I guess. Your fate will be to burn, not just as long as there are combustible materials to feed the flame, oh no, but you will light the unending darkness in some fathomless pit with your agonizing flames-O-punishment for ETERNITY! Your choice, of course.

So quit whining. Get off you butt and either go do the deed or shut up and get on with your miserable life. Until I get the guts to pull that trigger, that&#039;s what I&#039;m gonna do but ya never know, today might be the day it happens. It&#039;s all a matter of motivation.

One last thing. If you kill yourself, yeah some one will cry. If you get killed in a car wreck they&#039;ll cry too but either way they&#039;ll get over it or join you in your dirt nap. Not your problem, just like the Don&#039;t Do Its on here with regard to your issue; ain&#039;t their problem but easy to advise you not to turn your lights out so-to-speak. 

On the upside, it&#039;s the last decision you&#039;ll ever have to make. It&#039;ll all be over and quiet or your utility bill for heat and lights will be paid for forever. See! There IS a silver lining in all those dark clouds.</description>

I tend to try and fight the act of sleeping which is the worst thing you can do. when i first started my doc told me to take it and get in bed but over the past year I have tried to fight the urge to go right to bed.........I have made some huge mistakes and and thinking about quiting, I have major sleep issues and I dont kow whichh is worse, feeling drugged the next day and doing stupid crap or sleeping for a few hours. I can tell my feeling of depression has increased as well as stupid thoughts....not sure this drug is very safe</description>
