Do they even prescribe that anymore? That shit was horrible

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?

There was also that lady that drove to a gas station on ambien and had sex with a stranger then woke up the next morning and thought she had been raped

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

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.
