Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I just wrote a really long post about Ambien for Jilli and the computer ate it. Dammit.

Basically: How many mgs are you taking? Where do you get it filled, or: is it round or oval and is it CR or regular?

I can be more useful with that info, but my first off rec is, if 1/2 a tab isn't putting you to sleep to 4 am, take a whole. Take a hot shower, bath, sure, then take a whole one.

3 days? Pshaw, my dear; I've been taking it on and off (mostly on) for 5 years. I am addicted to the FALLING ASLEEP within an hour of bedtime and not within an hour of my alarm. I've been a clinical chrinic insomniac for 24 years now. I have tried EVERYTHING for insomnia, legal or not legal, (except heroin and I'm sure it would put me to sleep, but YOIKS and NO and NEEDLES! Ouch) and it's the only thing that consistently works for me with no sideeffects.

Acetaminophen toxicity is very dangerous and the liver damage can be irreversible. It can be fatal. There's no antidote, and it's just an ugly, ugly thing.

If anybody wants to know how ugly/bad/scary/awful liver damage and its side effects are, I'm more than happy to lay it out for you.

No liver damage! No, no. I looked at my Ty-3 script and it's too much APAP: 300/30, and I would take at least 5 a day for 3-4 days of my period. I am going to call my doctor tomorrow and ask her to switch to something else. I deserve to ask until I have something that's workable and pain-free.

Want smaller doasges of APAP now.

Possible small upside to liver damage, if you're odd, and looking for little upside where you can find them --

Jaundice makes you look like a Simpsons character.

Oh, yeah. DON'T FUCKING DRINK on Ambien. No, no, no, no, no.

I have a HIGH drug tolerance, but even a glass of wine and an Ambien will FUCK YOUR SHIT UP.

Also? Go right to bed. I"ve gotten engrossed in "one last email" after popping an Ambien in my nightie and that's when I end up "experimenting" with new eyeliner techniques. With lipliner and blush. The extra time in the morning soaking your face in Bifacils is SO not worth it!

10mg oval tablets, and I have no idea if it's CR or regular, 'cos I've got the generic version. I usually only take one half of a tablet at a time. I've been on Ambien for a couple of years, and I try really hard not to take half a tablet more than 3 times a week. But yeah, that falling asleep within an hour of bedtime? Fucking fantastic.

(Erin, my sister in insomnia!)

And YES on the go right to bed part. I haven't done anything like experimental makeup, but if I don't go to bed and close my eyes, I get some verrrrry interesting hallucinations. Like, last week thinking Pete's face was shifting and melting, and that the bedroom curtains had turned into some sort of hell portal. Not. Fun.
