general practitioners hand it out like candy to anybody who’s having trouble sleeping. mine sent me to a shrink because he wasn’t comfortable perpetually filling trazodone for me but he offered me Ambien

You don’t hear horror stories about it anymore. Who was it that almost drove off a cliff? Jack Nicholson?

It was given out promotionally then. My GP gave me a free sample that the ambien company dumped on him.

he considered it a psych drug. this is the same Doctor who would ask me if I wanted a prostate exam or not during my physical. like who asks that? nobody wants one, but at a certain age everybody needs one every year. found out later it’s because he was a germaphobe

Ambien works almost exactly like benzos, it’s no less nasty. Benzos at least tend to be more predictable than Ambien

Oh yeah. It still seems to be a preferred option. Dependency doesn’t seem to be an issue, although tolerance does. Not everyone has quite OP’s reaction, although it’s not uncommon.
