[ARCHIVED THREAD] - uh oh... just took ambien. i'm screwed. (update pg 2) (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 6/28/2011 10:27:59 AM EDT

i think i just took my ambien instead of my GERT meds, and it's in the middle of the day. how screwed am i?

FUDGE. i was going to do a bit of reloading and range time today too! FUCK! this is my one day i have in the forseeable future to have fun and enjoy some range time, and i went and fucked it up by taking a freaking sleeping pill! should i lie down? should i tough it out and enjoy the trip? i DO have SuckerPunch extended cut downloading right now... this could be fun. or horrible.

FUCK! i never have time to devote to my hobbies! the ONE day in close to a month i devoted to me and my LMT ar!!! it will probably be another month before i get this chance again, and now i'll be out of commision because i TOOK THE WRONG DAMN PILL. i'm such a dumbass.

should i stop panicing? should i start? i took it about 10 minutes ago with a pastrami on rye and milk. that's when i noticed the wrong rx bottle.

i've heared horror stories about dummies that stay up on ambien. should i go lie down?

FUCK.

Why the fuck did you take an Ambien in the middle of the day?

Put the guns away and go lay down if you don't know how it affects you.

Lullaby and good night, with roses bedight

With lilies o'er spread is baby's wee bed

Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed

Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed

Lullaby and good night, thy mother's delight

Bright angels beside my darling abide

They will guard thee at rest, thou shalt wake on my breast

They will guard thee at rest, thou shalt wake on my breast

Induce vomiting or lay down and prepare for sleep.

All the sleepwalking/sleep eating/sleep other stories I've ever heard involving Ambien also involved people taking it and then resisting its effects.

Best of luck.

Then stop trail mixing.

One day one my way to work (dentist) I popped a pill I take daily. Just as I was about to take a gulp of water I had a strange feeling it wasn't the pill I meant to take so I spit it out
and it was an ambien.

I still wonder when I would have realized something wasn't right if I had taken it. Just think as I am drilling on a patients tooth I fall over on their chest asleep....

it really depends on your body.. how do they normally affect you? do you normally take it and pass out 20 min later? i use to take them a few years ago, sometimes they work sometimes they dident. more times they dident hence why im not taking them anymore. i once took one then drove from dallas to new orleans and was not affectd, another time i passed out in the sofa after about 5 min. your call

Dink a glass of whiskey and brave it out until you're not tired

Here is a tip. Keep your meds in the kitchen/bathroom and the ambian in your bedroom.

Just don't do ambien with your slightly unsavory friends. Some years back a friend of mine told me about a time he did ambien with this guy we both knew. He said that he was sitting on this guy's bed, tripping out watching him play on the computer. Next thing he knows, his hands are on the other guy's junk, and vice versa. I still can't believe that he told me that story - I would have taken it to my grave if it had been me. Then again, I don't share the gay tendencies of these guys, so it wouldn't have been me. It might not be you, either. YMMV.
