Re: Sleep and side effects

[Guest guest]

rofl!!

Every now and then...after I've taken my sleeping pill...I find myself in the

bathroom, tweezers in hand.

What the heck is it with me, eyebrows and sleeping meds???

Fortunately, the one active brain cell that sometimes functions kicks in and

gets my butt back in bed!!

But I'm thinking of printing these Ambien rules and posting them on my bathroom

mirror...

Sleep and side effects

> Not sure how many of you remember....several years ago, around Christmas

time I think it was....I sent out a post that I wrote shortly after taking

Ambien.

>

> What I remember is that I " thought " I had about 30 minutes before the pill

would hit...so was busying myself with bed stuff. Then found myself in the

bathroom plucking my eyebrows. That's the last thing that I can really

recall....the rest was very, very fuzzy....and didn't come to me till the

next morning.

>

> Next thing I knew...I saw just these huge lines...wrinkles...like a

Klingon, or Romulan or Ferengi...across my forehead...and I felt compelled

to write everyone on my address book, all the groups I belonged to, to tell

them that when they were 3 years out this would happen to them when they

made the " eyebrow plucking " face.

>

> Next day I had lots and lots of emails. Many laughing, many

concerned...and I was clueless till I read what I wrote. Then I was totally

embarassed!!

> Lesson learned....if I take ambien or sonata...I MUST BE IN BED FIRST!

>

> But do I learn? Oh no!! One night I sat at the computer, yelling for

hubby to come and put me to bed. I just couldn't get up!! I kept falling

and staggering. Punch drunk! Another night I decided (again, after I took

the dang pill) to get a certain picture frame and put certain pictures in it

to take to work. Of course, my dexterity wasn't the best at that point and

I couldn't get the pictures in the frame straight. Soooooo, I wake Bob up!!

Have him fix the pictures and tuck me safely into bed.

next day, but makes sure I'm safe.

> Guess one thing I'm driving at is that I have seen myself and others have

different reactions to sleeping meds. All ambien and sonata do is get you

to sleep but they don't keep you there. Restoril and ativan work longer.

After a few days that sleeping pill hangover seems to go away. I try not to

rely on pills to sleep but find that without them I wake in 2-3 hours then

my worries kick in and at that point I may as well get up. With a good

nights sleep I can function as a somewhat productive person during the day.
