Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Friday, April 24, 2009

Dear Prudence: I did something recently that concerns me on many levels. I am under a large amount of stress because I'm in an unhappy marriage (which we're trying to work out) and because my company laid me off. I am under treatment for depression. A week ago, my doctor doubled the dosage of my antidepressant and, because I'm not sleeping well, he prescribed Ambien.

So, like, do you guys know where I can find some of this ambien? It's for a friend. Ya, that's it.

Wow the whole list of letters were pretty amazing. I wonder if people just made some of this shit up and it got published.

I saw the headline and knew it was an ambien story.

Scary stuff.

Stop taking those drugs they will fry your brain, and don't tell your wife anything.

According to her answer, some people report that the love-making was actually better when the person was sleepwalking. Just like my last marriage.

I made the mistake of taking a very important test after using Ambien because I was having trouble getting to sleep due to nerves. My mind was bye bye for the better part of the next day. I had to retake the test twice in order to demonstrate that the poor score I got the first time was a fluke and that I wasn't cheating the second time around (though its kinda hard to cheat on this test).

Just like my last marriage.

If this wasn't you, I'd be all about responding to that.

Light weight!

Well Lip-Z there's at least one woman who enjoyed the romance - cognizant or not the guy is a stud. LOL

My wife is vindictive

Gee, where I have heard this before? Oh yeah, from every guy I know who graced the Alter. But then there's nothing like stating the obvious.

Light weight!

*shrugs...

Just not my usual poison.

I had to go to the emergency room after a negative reaction, including almost stopping breathing, to the newer version of ambien. I would recommend a hammer to the head first instead of taking ambien.

Better living through chemistry. Can't sleep? Snap a bongload.

MELATONIN !

Regular exercise will cure insomnia and many other ailments.

So does regular sex!

My wife is vindictive, and if I say anything to her, it will end our marriage. I do not want to continue a relationship with the other woman. What should I do?

Give your wife a couple of Ambiens and fullfill that anal sex fanatasy that you have about her.

Then thank her for a wonderful dinner.

from the article

[My wife] said her only concern was that I left for "errands" and returned two hours later with nothing in hand...I know now what filled the missing two hours. This afternoon, I got a call from a woman who called me "lover" and asked when I wanted to come back. She called me her f--k buddy. This is a woman I had talked to only twice before in social situations. I do not even know where she lives; maybe I phoned her for directions. I do find her attractive, but I am stunned that I did something like this. My wife is vindictive, and if I say anything to her, it will end our marriage. I do not want to continue a relationship with the other woman. What should I do?....

Aww, he wants to know "What should I do?"

How about throwing out your Ambien prescription bottle and picking up some over-the-counter Sominex if you need to sleep.

What a crock of bull. If some gal he says he's talked to "only twice before in social situations" is already calling him her "f--k buddy" no way was his"afternoon delight" romp his first time in bed with her. And how come he already had her phone number handy?

I don't for one second buy his "Dear Prudence" letter. I think he wrote that letter just so he has a ready-made excuse already cooked up in case his wife catches him the next time he "runs some errands" on a Saturday morning.

Continues to amaze me pot is illegal.

Well said Knighthawk!

(Lipz waking up)

Lipz; 'yawwwn, why do i always feel tired when i wake up'

Mrs. Lipz; 'I dont know, but i was wondering how come you always wake up wearing womens underwear.....and get that lawnmower out of the bedroom.'

Meh, Spud likes the Beatles version better.

Strewth.

Ambien is some seriously, scary shit.

Be Well.

No "Prudence and the Pill" references yet?

Wot, nobody remembers David Niven?

You heathens!

Be Well.

Here is something I want everyone on DR to know. DO NOT drink and take Xanax in ANY amount.Even if you're an old druggie pro like me, er, some of us... And even you've beeen doing it for years with nooo problem, STOP. Change to Diazapam if you must but DO NOT DRINK AND TAKE XANAX IN ANY AMOUNT!!

If you want to know why, email me.

I cannot state this strongly enough.

Peace

Bri, I lost my second cousin to this last year.

He was 26, just married, with a kid on the way.

I have drank and taken Xanax. I got a little loopy and fell asleep. I had a worse experience with ghb and beer

This kid also took Oxycontin with the xanex and booze.

And who knows, maybe he had a small heart defect as well that I don't know about.

I do think it's wise not take sedative pills with drinks.

I have issues getting sufficient REM sleep everynight. I have never taken Xanax of any other prescribed drug. I take Seriphos. I get it from my Alternative Doctor. It has no milk, soy, or wheat.

It is for Adrenal and Adaptogen support

I used to love taking Temazpam and have a few Tecates. It would be lights out for about 10 hours.

I don't do it anymore, but back in the cocaine days, I took xanax many many times, especially when jonesing. the bestest high in the world is xanax and coke together.

I didn't drink though. Drinking while doing coke is a waste of alchohol.

I am wondering what info (re alcohol + xanax) could be so disturbing that you wouldn't want to post it?

#32 | Posted by Lipzoidial

I can't think of anything that you wouldn't want to post.

But I do know that Xanax and alcohol multiply the effects of each other and it's easy to kill yourself. You'll just pass out and stop breathing I believe.

I can't think of anything that you wouldn't want to post.

If you knew me, you would know how hilarious that statement is. As it is, I'll just say, thank you.

I do think it's wise not take sedative pills with drinks.

Pussy.

Suuuuurrrrree...

I get laid all the time when I'm sleepwalking. My wife, my shrink and all my girlfriends are all aware of the problem.

MELATONIN !

I take that to help convince my brain it's time to go to sleep. Works like a charm. When you first start taking it, you have incredibly vivid and weird dreams.

I was a teenage werewolf.

I would not have believed this would work, but my Doc had me work on diaphragmatic breathing, and it's helped my sleep a lot. If you google "diaphragmatic breathing" and/or "thoracic breathing," you'll find lots of info about why the former reduces stress and the latter puts you in fight/flight mode.

To get me started, he had me lie flat with ankle weights across my abdomen (a heavy book would do just as well), and focus on making the weights rise while inhaling, and fall while exhaling. His recommendation was to do this 15 mins, 2x/day for a while; the idea eventually is that it becomes the way you breathe when you're not thinking about it.

#42 - Phoenix I'll try it.

I wonder if this excuse would help get us out of a dump or two around here? I can't wait till someone tries it! LOL

Sounds more like you need a bottle of Nair than a prescription for Ambien. lol

Sleepwalking and multiple personality cannot be faked. Any psychologist can tell the difference quickly.

Sounds like:

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

Could this be one of the long list of Democrat politicians who are wife cheaters such as Former President Bill Clinton (D), current San Franciso Mayor Gavin Newsom (D), current Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (D), former NY Governor Elliott Spitzer (D), current NY Governor David Paterson (D), former U.S. Senator and Presidential hopeful John Edwards (D)....I can do this all day with all these high profile cheating Dems!
