If it works for you, then let the naysayers complain. Do what works for you.

I took Ambien under pdoc orders and had a horrible time on it. I was not using it to chase alcohol, trying to get high, or taking someone else's prescription. I was trying to sleep. It didn't work and I had awful side effects. If someone is talking about ambien, I have a right to say what my experience was like. No, I don't think everyone is going to react the same way, and hey, if it works for you, take it by all means. If I talk about my experience on a drug, that is how I phrase it -- This was MY experience and it won't necessarily be yours. If you're going to have a conversation about anything, you're going to expect all sorts of opinions. Sharing a personal experience doesn't automatically make you a naysayer or yea-sayer. And if you don't want to deal with the negative responses, only discuss those topics, medications or whatever, with people you know have similar opinions.
But please don't invalidate my experience by lumping me and others in with people who misuse or abuse drugs.
