John Pettigrew, a 58-year-old plumber from England, experienced this unpleasant side effect, which Pfizer does warn of in the prescribing information that is given to users. In Pettigrew’s case, the man admitted that he probably took too many of the little blue pills but joked that he was having “too much fun” using them.

The article neglected to mention marijuana - from what I’ve seen, that drug makes people listen to really crappy music.

Over and over while ingesting high amount of calories.

i had to quit a prescription sleep aid after putting on 20lbs in less than 2 months with no change in diet...

after doing some research, i found one of the side effects is weight gain in 20% of users.

they are coming off MUCH HARDER and SLOWER than they went on.

I only took Ambien once, and boy howdy I did not like it. No gradual drowsiness or “heavy eyes” like OTC sleeping pills, I just felt a little lightheaded and then BAM! it was ten hours later. The scary part was the memory loss. To this this day I cannot recall what I was watching on television or what I had for dinner in the two or three hours before taking the pill.

Don’t know if that’s a typical reaction or not, but it was not something I cared to experience again.

I wonder ... are men REALLY that preoccupied with their “performance” ?

The ones that have no 'performance' are.

Steve Martin also did a funny routine on a drug side effect that was exactly what the drug was supposed to cure.
