. . . had heart surgery a while back. I had a hell of a time getting any sleep. Just never fell asleep. Drove me nuts! Layed in bed all night, night after night, got up at daybreak.
Finally got to where I couldn't take it any longer and went to my Doctor, "Man, I can't sleep, haven't slept for days." "No problem, happens to a lot of people after surgery, take this script in and have it filled." So I did. That day. Took an Ambien that night, right around 10 PM.
Sat back on the couch, watched the news and waited to get sleepy. Sleeping pill, right. Wrong. Next thing I know, Wifey is talking, I'm sitting at the kitchen table. Atthe kitchen table with the Redhead, where I now understand I'd been sitting for the past hour and a half. It's 9:30 AM.
I never went to sleep! I was apparently awake all night, puttering, doing housework, dusting, moving stuff around, rearreanging the bookshelves, ordered some stuff online, gawd only knows what else for sure.
Waking sleep. An Ambien Zombie. Talking to the Wife like I was actually there, agreeable as all get out according to her. She didn't even realize I was on Planet 9. Just figured I couldn't sleep and got up.
So I Googled "Ambien" and I see a link to " Ambien Sleepwalking." Lord have a sense of humour . . . not good!!! According to all the articles I read, it's a national epidemic of sorts . . . all sorts of bizarre, frightening and even tragic events occuring with people. Far worse than my little adventure. Hell, there's was even an article with Colin Powell saying " Oh yeah, we all take Ambien." State of National Affairs???
Then . . . I get a new issue of Rolling Stone, and there is an article in it about Ambien being a new recreational chemical. People take it, stay awake and wait to be taken over, and the fun begins.
What a trip.What a ramble here. Anyone else come across this delightful off branded anti-psycotic mind bend???
