Its one thing to do it, but to come online and announce it, what did you really expect?

Everyone here really cares about you and are reaching out. It would not be their business if you didn't throw the business out in a public forum. But you did, and so, expect people to challenge you on your beliefs.

To throw in my two cents, you should chuck your ambien and tell your pdoc that you have been abusing them. There are other ways to fall asleep. To take several might seem like an obvious solution when one pill doesn't work. But thats a logic my little kid has. When he feels sick he insists I give him ALL the medicine so he can get better faster. Obviously, that is not the answer!

Be safe
