Gradually I started noticing the things that you are... doing things I had no recollection at all of. Then I started having to use the restroom... ALL THE TIME. It got so bad at one point, I would have taken an Ambien to sleep and was awakened about 6 times during the night to go. Also, (still to this day) I will be in the midst of talking to someone and completely forget what I am saying. I will listen to someone talk for an hour, and then be blank of what was said. It was so frightening I went to the doctor and told him of my fears, to which he pointed out the two most common side effects of the drug: Frequent Urination, and Loss of Short Term Memory... SERIOUSLY?!? To this day, even though I've been off of it for about 2 years, I have no short term memory at all- just wanted to share my little bit of knowledge with ya : ) have a wonderful day with your beautiful pooch!Cortneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08806217124676832773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3416269008311217146.post-34657221191888881982008-09-14T23:26:00.000-05:002008-09-14T23:26:00.000-05:00Can you imagine what you can do with the meds, wha...Can you imagine what you can do with the meds, what you could do without them?

She writes about Ambien and the crazy things that happens when she takes it. One time UPS came to the door, she opened the package and it was a BARBIE HEAD that she ordered online while in an Ambien-induced haze! Check out her books, she is a hilarous writer, and I think you would like her.<BR/>Anyways, I love your antics while you are asleep! I want you to doodle that on MY computer, its cute!<BR/>My doctor also prescribed me Ambien while I was on Prednisone awhile back, and I had never taken it, too scared..But maybe I will get creative..

Ambien envy?<BR/><BR/>All I do while half-asleep is write illegible notes in my notebook with big lines trailing off the page.<BR/><BR/>Good thing you titled that "Just Say No To Drugs" because I already know which corner to pull up to for some Ambien.
