yeah, i'm just highly skeptical that either milk or the professional they must be seeing to reissue their prescription would retain them on the same medication or on the current dosage, if they report back that they're suffering these kinds of side effects under ambien.

this is from the mayo clinic:

If you develop any unusual and strange thoughts or behavior while you are using zolpidem, be sure to discuss it with your doctor. Some changes that have occurred in people using this medicine are like those seen in people who drink alcohol and then act in a manner that is not normal. Other changes may be more unusual and extreme, such as confusion, worsening of depression, hallucinations (seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not there), suicidal thoughts, and unusual excitement, nervousness, or irritability.

as you can see, it's largely about the drug potentially upping the intensity of an already present emotion. and if milk truly is experiencing these side effects, it's advised that they check in with their healthcare professional. i'm sorry, they're either irresponsible and not communicating with their psychiatrist, they have an incompetent medical adviser, or they're just making this shit up. in two out of three of these scenarios, the fault is milk's.
