It does seem pretty wild how widely it’s prescribed given anecdotes like that. I also a knew a guy who had been taking it for over 10 years and clearly was wildly addicted.

No idea how this stuff is even legal, it’s a miracle he never ended up in a car accident.

My mother actually died in a car wreck last week. We’re almost certain it was ambien related. Luckily there was no other people or vehicles involved.

In a just world, I feel that the manufacturer would have already been held accountable for the effects of their product and this would never have happened. You take care, internet friend.
