This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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?
Yup: https://www.news24.com/news24/i-warned-heath-says-nicholson-20080124
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
Holy shit
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
"at least buy me a dinner first"
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.
