Sometimes I can drink and party all night. Then there is the rare time when
a glass of wine totally whacks me for a short while. Inevitably someone will
say "How can you be drunk on a glass of wine?" If I had an answer I probably
would have abstained in the first place. Maybe I am on the brink of a flu,
who knows? In the same light, maybe I could take Ambien safely for years
until it blindsides me too and I wake up in the lake.
How can you argue and judge another person's subjective experiences? Other
than a company rep, who the hell WOULD argue in defense of a chemical that
is in scientific dispute over another person's cautionary personal tale? So
a poster didn't murder his/her family, they only got up and cooked bacon and
eggs (a real account from a documentary I saw) without consciousness. The
murderer is not likely to be posting about it here. The cooker is freaked
out over it.
Manufacturers might say a bad effect only happens to one in a thousand.
Well, who do you think is going to post a warning, the 999 who weren't hurt?
It will be the extremely important one whose life may have been in jeopardy.
Talk about a minority POV, how much support are they going to get?
Other than for being OT, I can't figure why so many people are often so down
on the messenger(s) around here. It is obvious that often there is such a
reaction to the subject that it seems like the arguer has barely read the
OP. The weird part is that when they pounce it is usually rife with
extrapolated projection-based judgements like " ...but then I (implied:
unlike you) am not a walking pharmacy...I only take (long list of wholistic
flavored-waters) and a spritz of something that makes me sound politically
correct and all sweet but you not; along with the Ambien I take only when I
sorely need it because I am special." And "Without legal papers to support
it your experience does not matter."

Cite the case law, please. I've taken Ambien and I certainly did
remember doing such mundane things as getting up to use the toilet
in the middle of the night. I'd definately recall having killed
someone, so this is a farce
or lawyers tricks. Ambien makes you sleepy, it doesn't turn you
into a psychopathic killer. And you can buy over the counter sleep
aids that make
you feel much more "muddled" when you wake up than Ambien does.

Of course, everyone has to have the exact same experience as you
Jill.
I never said such a thing; that is merely your perception. I was relating
my experience with Ambien. I surely do believe I'd remember murdering
people unless perhaps I was trippin' on some LSD or wigged out on crack.

I have absolutely no memory of certain events and started exhibiting
bizarre behavior, i.e., waking up in the middle of the night and
start cooking only to find later that I had done it w/ no memory.
Check out the side effects .. but of course, since you didn't have
some of those side effects they must not exist and it's all the
lawyers fault.
I didn't say that, either. But then again, I'm not a walking pharmacy

tea.
