Ambien

Sometimes I can drink and party all night. Then there is the rare time when a glbutt of wine totally whacks me for a short while. Inevitably someone will say "How can you be drunk on a glbutt of wine?" If I had an answer I probably would have abstained in the first place. Maybe I am on the brink of a flu, who knows? In the same light, maybe I could take Ambien safely for years until it blindsides me too and I wake up in the lake.

How can you argue and judge another person's subjective experiences? Other than a company rep, who the hell WOULD argue in defense of a chemical that is in scientific dispute over another person's cautionary personal tale? So a poster didn't liquidate his-her family, they only got up and cooked bacon and eggs (a real account from a documentary I saw) without consciousness. The liquidateer is not likely to be posting about it here. The cooker is freaked out over it.

Manufacturers might say a bad effect only happens to one in a thousand. Well, who do you think is going to post a warning, the 999 who weren't hurt? It will be the extremely important one whose life may have been in jeopardy. Talk about a minority POV, how much support are they going to get?

Other than for being OT, I can't figure why so many people are often so down on the messenger(s) around here. It is obvious that often there is such a reaction to the subject that it seems like the arguer has barely read the OP. The weird part is that when they pounce it is usually rife with extrapolated projection-based judgements like " ...but then I (implied: unlike you) am not a walking pharmacy...I only take (long list of wholistic flavored-waters) and a spritz of something that makes me sound politically correct and all sweet but you not; along with the Ambien I take only when I sorely need it because I am special." And "Without legal papers to support it your experience does not matter."
