My dad had a patient who lost his arm in a car accident in which he'd unknowingly attempted to drive in an Ambien induced fugue state. My cousins husband had a similar experience but got lucky. Stuff can be dangerous.

It can induce an organic fugue state. Acts as a deliriant

Ambien: shutup brain let the stomach take the wheel.

Lmao yeah it apparently causes binge eating for a lot of people

Take Ambien all day every day

Lmao.

More of a stims person myself. AHDH-PI is a bitch

what is ambiens generic name?

like what would it be called in england n that?

Zolpidem

It's a nonbenzodiapzepine sedative-hypnotic

Works on GABA-A receptors, as do benzos

The famous Z meds

Im prescribed diazepam for as and when needed et al

is ambien a ZZZZZ thing?

knock you out?

Zopiclone, Zolpidem and another one with an Z I can't recall

my dad takes zopiclone for sleepin

I think

recognise the name

i hear so much about ambien and ambien 'abuse' online but, nobody takes it in england

or at least i mean ive never known anyone

This channel is about to show us how thoroughly medicated everyone in the West is.

hahahaha

my dad had a stroke

Well the US is drugsland, they're all usually not over the counter, anywhere else in the world

his brain doesnt work properly

my diazepam is rarely used

As it should

Benzos should be used sparingly and for no longer than 2-3 weeks

I know how good it is

It helps

But in many places you see it prescribed forever

I miss being in the UK and seeing old grannies with walkers powered by nothing but earl grey tea walking home with 30lbs of groceries in their hands.

could be so easy to just eat one each day

yorkshire tea*

leave earl grey to picard

haha

I think the issue is partly that you can't JUST throw drugs at psychiatric disorders. It usually only masks the underlying issues. We've so thoroughly medicalized psychology that we've lost sight of the psychosocial contributors
