I recently joined back up to planet fitness and started working out again. last night I had my PW a little too late, got home, took my ambien. woke up toy Girlchat discord being like “etf is this” and i had no recollection of what they were replying to. but here is what I wrote, allegedly, at 11:43 pm:

”I do not acknowledge the lunk alarm.

I do not believe that any man nor woman nor great warrior of genderqueer has hear the Angelous bell of the lunk alarm.

It haunts us. It hangs, a spectre over all our toilings, a voice in the garden, espousing temperance in self improvement, caution in movement.

And yet. Who among us has borne witness to the tolling of the lunk alarm? Who has heard or seen this great beast awaken? Not I. Surely not I, though there in the free weights section lurk demons, scoundrels and ruffians who would seek to set off this grand series of events. By their gruntings and selfies we are shown.

What if it’s all an illusion. The alarm, Sauron’s dead eye in its case of plastic, ever waiting to illuminate. What if we could free it but choose not to?

Who weaves these tales of heroes being dashed to ruin by the alarm? Is it the heroes? Never. Is it the company? Certainly not. It is always, and so shall it ever be, your friend Kevin. Kevin who you cannot tell to be joking when he makes Trump references. Kevin the Victim. Kevin who says these things and he says them to the internet and we pick them up and fly with them away to all corners of the internet, to spread his poison.

Nay, friends, fear not the lunk alarm. come delight in $15/mon membership and 24 hour availability. We shall smite all demons.”

I do actually feel like people prevaricate too much on the sort of annoying culture there (especiall the lunk alarm) and not as much on how it’s an affordable, okay gym for casual gym goers, but I didn’t know I felt this passionately about it.

While on Ambien, has anyone ever had an experience where you were "in" a book or movie? This happened to me twice that I remember. There was a book I was independently studying that was adapted into a good film. The narrative structure was different and I studied both to learn about the writing and how that was successfully adapted into a great movie. While on prescribed Ambien for sleep, I found myself out of bed and "in" two different scenes. The second time it was dangerous but fortunately I was at home and by myself. The first time was a party scene and it seemed so real. I even heard ambient sounds of talking, glasses clinking, and music. Then it was just gone. I shut my eyes like trying to get back into a good dream but it was gone. I know now I should have been terrified but at the time it was so real and seemed fun, although I'd never use that word now with what I know about this drug. Then I was alone in a dark room in my house. I am very interested in any similar experiences. If for some reason you don't want to post it please message me. Thank you.

LONG RANT:

it can absolutely be a dangerous drug to fuck with but it becomes frustrating when somebody explains that the benefits outweigh the risks for them, and they've already tried all the alternatives that they recommend. only to be told repeatedly that strangers know your situation better from one Reddit post. Even if they haven't tried every alternative, why would you just change to something a reddit user told you to if zolpidem already works for you. it's just not useful advice

The dementia/effect on your brain argument is also so stupid. insomnia itself is also linked to dementia. There is no proof zolpidem causes dementia.

Personally I have taken breaks up to a month long and have never experienced withdrawal. But somehow seroquil is fine???

anything can lead to dependency, however if you have the discipline to take a med without taking 5 a day (I do) you should be fine.

most of the advice comes from first hand experience which I understand and I am not recommending anyone take it, but if you're like me and you need it, that's up to you. I wrote this cause I've posted questions on here a few times and every single time there's been someone who think's they know everything. I put money on my insomnia being 10x worse than any of them (yes I want a cookie) people forget it's not a fucking benzo

anyway I've been on zolpidem for almost 6 months and I'm probably gonna switch to seroquil lol

Basically the title is my question. I was on 5mg every night for the past 4 months because a horrible sleep therapist thought it was a good idea even though I was sent to her to QUIT ambien, she made me more reliant on it. So I quit her. And now I’ve quit ambien cold Turkey. It’s been 4/5 days. I still cannot sleep. The rebound insomnia is so bad. It could also be my new adhd med Qelbree contributing but please let me know any of your experiences or advice thank you so much!

She's got a point in that I am wasting my stash tho

I go to the local mage to pick up a strange solidified elixir. The mage will only provide such an elixir if I can prove my worthiness of their sorcery. After a long and grueling sleep study- I mean test of will, I rise from bed and am granted the sorcerer’s blessing. They provide detailed instructions, that I should consume this elixir no more than 5 to 10 minutes before I desire sleep, any longer and I may turn into a beast that can see parallel dimensions but will be incomprehensible if I ever try to speak of it! Knowing the risks, I take it anyway, and behold, the power to honk shoo allows me to vanquish Insomnia, my greatest foe, but only for one night. Perhaps the beast shall assist me? I take the elixir earlier the following night, resisting the elixir’s draw to bed, determined to release this so called beast. And behold! Without even a moments hesitation or even realization of my action, I see that I have already plastered a message to the r/ambien town square message board, reading only three words and some bizarre sigils I know not how to speak:

“hopitl 😢brj appl2 🤤”

The sorcerer warned me…

Going tk eat a snak

I know to take it on an empty stomach, laying down.

What are some more good tips to make it work better?

Thank ya

I warned to tell everyone how amazing and special they are and they said I should lay down since the rocks are back. Just on them I Wendy up to them and did a calm loll . Brit they all try to get me to go to sleep so I’m looks at Etsy witches and curses. Curses them to be my friend. I’m said since my mom dad and grandma and sister and the entire sad side of family won’t be able wedding not to mentions I got crippled at 23 with not cure or reasoning. I honestly have no one Andy I get super sad because my step dad was supposed to walk me town the aisles and he went even answer my calls and text

So

Normal zolpidem

Or

Extended release

Which will make u sleep good and has a good high

But this little bottle filled with Ambien is all I need!
