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.

    chill pill

    A former boyfriend of mine took Ambien, didn't abuse it, didn't drink alcohol with it. He would 'sleep-eat'-- wake up in the morning and find food in his fridge gone, such as when the bagels were still there but the cream cheese dish scraped clean (you could see the finger-marks in the dish). So I don't think the vicious letter-writing troll who chastised every person with an Ambien prescription (ok, basically he chastised the entire human race, as we're all so obviously below him) as too stupid to read a prescription bottle was an accurate criticism; some who take it as prescribed still get negative side effects.

    While the open letters forum has certainly been entertaining, some incredibly snippy and others quite profound, there's some letter writers in this thread that are so over-the-top angry I have to wonder why they can't get a life instead of read things on Salon they don't like, then post self-righteous angry diatribes chastising the author... and rest of the world. What's the deal, no dog to kick, no wife to beat, so you have to come in here and take it out on the rest of us?

    Mean people suck.
