My Ambien lover

By day, my boyfriend acted cold and distant. But at night, after popping his pill, he transformed into the affectionate man of my dreams.

    That's scary...

    Scarier than what happened to me during the VERY brief time I took this stuff. I don't recall any amnesiac effects, but I had horrible, horrible dreams on it. I mean Hieronymus Bosch horrible, full of images that I haven't forgotten yet (and this was fifteen years ago). If Boyfriend needs a sleeping pill, he might consider talking to his doc about Lunesta, which seems very clean and free of hangover or affective fallout to this insomniac - the only effect it has on me is way-better-than-usual sleep. Lunesta is expensive, but Boyfriend seems to be a cost-is-no-object type of guy. Of course, I'm only speaking from my own experience, and hazarding no guesses about how it might affect his amatory prowess.
