I take Soma for when I can't sleep sometimes. One time I messed around and took 3 instead of my usual 1-2.....I ended up oversleeping 2 hours for work. I had to weasel my way out of that one.....came up with a real good excuse. Now I'm cautious about taking sleeping aids during the work week. I use them for off days to sleep a little later than usual. I feel better when I'm caught up on my sleep.

I made it to the morning.

Everything I type is goofy and makes no sense....

PurpleThunder said:

Well, I'm reading over the threads I posted and I managed to keep my shit together pretty well. On the one about Facebook I can tell I was starting to get a tad emotional but over all I didn't come off crazy.
In the past, I've been known to type shit that looks like this:

johnart said:

Well it makes sense to me...geesh!

johnart said:

Does anyone else get put in a coma from Zyrtec? I swear, if I take a even a half I am rendered useless for two days and it's hard as hell for me to get up and I must take a nap in the afternoon. But damned if it don't knock my allergies the hell out.

SCNDLS said:

Thats what happens when I have my nyquil cocktail! Zzzzzz

johnart said:

And this would represent a departure from the customary in what way...?

tinaz said:

Yeah, Nyquil is some good AZZ sleep.

SCNDLS said:

Zyrtec knocks me the funk out. I have to take a child's dose.

Genesia said:

I usually split a 10mg pill and I still feel the effect for days. I have to be strategic with that shit and take it on Friday night so it'll be outta my system by Monday. I've even found myself falling asleep driving in the middle of the day.

SCNDLS said:

Its really that strong? More so than 2 benydryl?

tinaz said:

Definitely. Most people I know are affected like this, but it doesn't bother my cousin at all.

SCNDLS said:

Benadryl wears off quicker, too. You might be a little logy in the morning, but you'll usually be okay by noon.

Genesia said:

OMG, This morning I was seeing double on the road, which was not cool, but I didn't wanna freak Ron out.
I'm back from my appt and I think I definitely need to take a short nap before hitting the studio.

johnart said:

Ow!

I am ssssooooo glad there's no chance of meeting you on the road.

johnart said:

Be careful with the cocktail and sleeping pills, johnart! Ya know what they say about mixing mickeys and booze...

Shyra said:

what do they say?

Genesia said:

I guess they mean that thing about making sure you have a full 8 hours to sleep when you take it.

johnart said:

That you can get into serious trouble, like killing yourself. I guess if you just took 1 Ambien and 1 drink you'd be a little out of it like you described, but don't ever take like 2 or 3 Ambien and several drinks. We don't want anything to happen to one of the best and funniest orgers!

Shyra said:

Awww .
No, I'd never take that many.

johnart said:

OK, jus checkin!

SCNDLS said:

YES! I almost lost my job taking that shit!

Genesia said:

A children's dose knocks me out just as well.

Shyra said:

I was once on a pain killer... hydrocodone, and it was so dreamy, and I was like "Did I take a pill, wait, no...lemme take one..." and I probably was taking twice because I was forgetting

LOL!
When I was in the hospital for both my stomach surgeries they gave me delaudid intravenously. OMFGAAAAH!!! That shit is little drops of sunshinny heaven.

johnart said:

Oh, yeah. That brings back memories of when I was in the hospital after breast cancer surgery. I had morphine "on demand." It was a pump that I could push every time I needed a "hit." Well, I guess my pain tolerance was pretty good because after a day or two they took it away. The nurse said, "Oh. You didn't use it all. You're a good girl!" Sheyit! I was just tryin save a taste!

Line from one of John Mayer's new songs:

"Red wine and Ambien, you're talkin' shit again. . . "

i hate to take medicine at all! only when i 100% have to, and i hate the ones that make me tired, because it seems like they take forever for me to get over!hope you're feeling better john!
