about last night's Ambien Diatribes

[odette_michaud]

One of the reasons I write those particular Ambien-fueled posts is for the sake of reading them the next day because they tend to veer off somewhere in the middle, the longer ones especially, to things I don't recall writing and am frequently surprised I had to say

That's really awesome that you can go back and read that stuff the next day. I wanna try this!

Also really cool that love is the most used word of importance. (: How do you search that?

[odette_michaud]

I would've thought there'd be a site online that could do it, but I couldn't find one. I ended up having to download a program called lj-archive which downloads your journal to your computer and then you can do stuff like see word frequency.

Also, I'm sure it's emailing all my bank information off my hard drive all around the world or something. :)

It's a really odd drug, not that I'm exactly a connoisseur. But it strikes me as a really minor version of lsd.

Oh that sounds scary. ._.

I'mma get it! Right now! Yeah!

[odette_michaud]

The program? Or Ambien?

Or LSD?

[hirogohan]

Ambien.

...and LSD too, now that you mention it.

[odette_michaud]

Seriously, if you do get Ambien, you have to let me know. Preferably, we should have a conversation when we're both on it, and save the IM log, because I bet it would be AWESOME.

[hirogohan]

Omgomg we totally should. I know you've told me before, but is this shit over the counter? I have a bad memory.

[odette_michaud]

Sadly, no. Prescription only. Just let the doctor know you're having trouble sleeping and also say that you tend to have a reaction to other sleeping pills where they make you agitated instead of sleepy. Or just request Ambien at the outset.

[hirogohan]

Ah dang. This sounds difficult but okay XD

[odette_michaud]

It's not, really. Just say you have a friend who's tried it and recommended it. It just has seemed like my doctors always try to prescribe something else first. And I DO actually have that reaction, that most other sleeping pills I've tried make me agitated. Ambien is the first one that's ever worked.

M'kay (: I'll make an appointment at some point.
