I use Ambien myself. I run a business and Ambien rested my brain so I can sleep. I went through long periods living on 3-4 hours sleep a night, if I was lucky. Doctor said not sleeping is a bad thing. I am lucky as Ambien does not give me any side effects.

I am not trying to defend Rosanne. That being said some drugs do effect people. I tried Chantix to quit smoking and had many side effects so it was not for me.

She didn’t “go mental” with that joke. The left went mental over it.

It is a mind altering drug.

I am sure they have an FDA monitored double blind clinical test to confirm their speculation.

But none of that would ever make you utter an impolite or thoughtless sentence.

Its obvious its the Ambien. When she takes it, she is a racist. When it wears off, she cant remember that she was a racist while inebriated on the Ambien.

Doctors and BigPharm only make and dispense these heavy duty drugs. They know never to take them!

Yes, you are so correct. Not everyone is a screwball that uses Ambian.

Of course, Barr has a history of bizarre behavior. In her latest, she blames Ambian. That, doubtfully, is really and soley the cause of her long term mental problems. Stop the Ambian and work the greater problem of insane behavior.

If it causes her to “crack eggs on the wall”, as she now claims, or belittle and disgrace the National Anthem, and to make a stab at trying to race bait the Left, then she needs to reassess her mental capacity for decision making.

I don’t say she is racist. She decided to use a racist term as a fire starter.
Her instability and her poor decisions are pretty legendary. Not everyone gets to take Ambien.

I think I’d rather take a pill that makes me racist than risk all of those nightmarish side effects!

A friend, she lives alone, and I were just talking about Ambien. She woke up one morning and there was a bowl of oatmeal, ready to eat on the table. She hates oatmeal and had it in the house only for her grandkids. My niece woke up in her car, which was still in the garage, not running thank God.

I was in the hospital a couple years ago for diabetes complications they gave me ambien

I woke up in the night crying no sobbing i wanted to die i was so depressed like the whole world had been shut off from me i’ve never felt like that before in my whole life i never cried so much in my whole life they gave me 2 pills that night

Although i still had all my thinking faculties it was just shear raw emotion playing itself out i could still think and move but im glad i wasn’t alone in the hospital one nurse stayed with me the rest of the night till i fell asleep soundly

It was scary never again with Ambien

My wife has a number of auto-immune disorders. She would never be able to get a decent night’s sleep without Ambien. She sleeps very well EVERY night. No weird side affects.

There are reports of people doing stuff at night with no memory the next morning.

When I was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer four years ago, The fact that I had a cancer for which there is no current cure was a constant presence in my mind for the first year. If not for a very small dose of Ambien, I don’t know what I’d have done that first year.

Yes, I’m sure, like you, many people find Ambien helpful, if not the majority of users.

However, saying the side effects are rare and minor does match up with the experience of many users.

Big Pharma stepped in it with their stupid, snarky virtue signaling.

One thing not talked about is almost every mass murderer in the last 10 years has been on some type of antidepressant Las vegas shooter, columbine, parkland , sandy hook ect.
The drug manufacturers/promoters should be sued for their complicity

I was surprised seeing a class action lawsuit thingee (retro TV channel) claiming Obsessive behavior including chronic gambling being sued for.

Rosanne can keep in the spotlight leading a charge like this ...

Big Pharma is not getting rich on generic Ambien. A one month prescription costs my wife a 23 cent co-pay.

And add to that, “having secure borders(which 100% of the rest of the world has),is NOT RACIST!”

Of course I really should confess that despite my bravado to the contrary that if I really did have that superpower, knowing myself, when the moment came to spread the word ... it would probably be the lyrics to High Anxiety ... Mel Brooks has had rent free space in my noggin since I was a child, just next door to the Looney Tunes and across the hall from the Three Stooges.

I don't recall them bitching about Ambien being mentioned when a certain Arkanicide victim was found dead in his car, in a parking lot, after "committing suicide"....

They're evidently OK with "Ambien can make you kill yourself" but not that it, coupled with lack of sleep (which makes it a viable option) might clog up your social filter and allow you to post something you might not normally post......p>New slogan:

AMBIEN: It May Make You Kill Yourself, but It Will Never Leave You Addled Enough To Say Something You Wouldn't Ordinarily Say...
