I went to a doc while I was out of state in Virginia... quite interesting... complained my 10mg of Ambien wasn't working, thinking of upping it to 20mg, and he said, "well, I can't stop you from taking 20mg, but I have no problem with that, it's a perfectly safe med."
So I said, okay, will you write for that? He goes, "I can't stop you from taking 20mg" Then writes for 10mg with a refill. I'm suppose to wink, wink, nod nod here? Then he tells me "well, have you tried alcohol?"
I tried to explain to him alcohol causes nighttime awakenings, early morning awakenings, and disrupts the sleep cycle... akk. Alcohol has more status over Ambien? Could someone please just make everything OTC before I vomit?
