i'm pretty sure this means that the terrorists have won.

I wouldn't mind if that logic was applied to other scenarios, like 15 months of nut grabbing by the TSA to make flying extra safe and no more security for the rest of our lives. I know that's a flawed comparison, but I was just booking flights and remembering how dumb security is.

just found a hookup on ambien/lunesta.

non-narcotic.

and will put you OUT, yet wake you up with feathers...

crazy dreams the last few nights..

anyone else?

i mean, it's pretty obviously this weekend i'm going to drink my face off and then pop them and see what happens. or, i just did it.

weird ****. i mean, if you drink with this stuff, craaazy stuff happens. i mean, taken the way it's supposed to, yeah, i sleep almost the entire night through. but if i take on while i'm still drinking assuming i'll sleep soon??? yikes.

for the record, i've always had an awful time falling asleep...from teenage til now. if i know i have to wake up at a certain time, i will toss and turn until about 2 hours before that wakeup call, only to be groggy and slow allll daaay.

i grown to kinda be able to control it using beer and a strict schedule. and even then, sometimes my mind just doesn't shut off. ugghh

soooo, i got these ambien/lunestas and i'm trying to figure optimum strategy with 'em.

optimum strategy is NOT drink all day and pop one to make you go to sleep...lol. you'll be weirded out with what's to come. maybe right before bed would be better.

will check back again, when the lines i'm typing are a little straighter.

no! like 8+ beers (standard) and a glass of homemade wine. my basic tuesday night. it's just 45 minutes ago i ate an ambien and typing it out doesn't do it justice. my house is just weird. i dunno.

probably time for bed. i'll report back later. though the chances i remember this on my own is probably +4000.

Re: poker ban, since I see some discussion here.

1) I can say with very good certainty your money is safe in Stars FTP at the current time. Now don't come bitching at me if something crazy happens, but I'd be shocked if either site screwed anyone over. They'd either pull out once the bill was passed to get a license, or they would stay in the market until they were forced out. They've made it very clear they are interested in the former, and if they are, then they won't be screwing anyone. Plus I've come to trust those sites.

2) I don't think the bill will pass at this point based on what I've been told.

If anyone has any questions, let me know. I've been pretty involved with learning about and discussing the impending legislation.

Ambien has some pretty crazy side effects for some people. My wife was prescribed it for awhile (she has narcolepsy), and she described her experience as having a dream while awake. She says it was one of the weirdest and scariest things that has every happened to her. She thought she was going insane.

I've heard some weird ambien stories but have never experienced any of it. Doesn't make me tired but helps me stay asleep. No side effects to note of any kind. Why such wide reactions? Seems like ambien has wildly differing side effects compared to just bout everything.

Also, Dr Ikes, I take ambien + klonopin + vicodin each night and have for years now. Chances I wind up llike Heath Ledger? (I don't drink, ever, if that helps!)

Jeebus dude, a sleeping aid, benzo and opiate? That's pretty nuts. As long as you are careful you should be ok though.

Regardless, you should probably stop taking the vicodin and replace it with something called norco. It's basically the same thing pain killing wise, but it has less tylenol so it doesn't damage your liver as much and is safer. If you got your script filled recently it might have already changed.

I have no idea why people have such wildly differing side effects. I'd guess it'd be some variation of people are different.

I only take 6 or 7 of the 7.5/750 pills per day.

GG liver? Neither of my doctors seems to have a problem with it. Think I'm towards the upper end of what is safe though.

It's not GG liver, there's just been a few recent studies to come out that basically say the overall effect of tylenol is negative. Norco just uses less tylenol (350mg)

If you have trouble sleeping, you should absolutely never touch Four Loko.
