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.

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
