Re: ambien CR and question

[Guest guest]

Hi,everyone kind of chilly here in southern Texas but I take ambien cr about

2 months and after the first 2 weeks I haven't had any trouble with them. my

doc told me almost every drug takes at least 2 weeks of trial ,so he gives

me 2 weeks to try unless its something really bad..

oh I told someone about the fibro,and same thing was said and then I asked

her if she had ever had the flu she said oh yes, and all that pain, I said

then imagine having the pain of flu 24/7 365 days and pain meds work

sometimes and sometimes not. she looked at me and told me that she was so

sorry and it also made her to go home and study up on all of it anyway,

now I have a question? how bad can the fog get?I am forgetting so much that

I am worried!!!?

You ask about the fog, I have put things in the fridge that belong in the cupboard and vice a versa. I have to write things down so that I don't forget. If I am in the middle of something, don't interrupt me or I loose my whole train of thought. I have to pay the bills when hubby is not home, otherwise he is constantly interupting and then I forget to pay all of them. I keep my meds in a pill sorter so I can tell if I took them or not. When I can get good quality sleep and so fatigued, the fog is not near as bad. The mind is like a muscle, also, you have to use it keep from loosing it.

DARLENE, I HAVE MY BAD DAYS AND MY WORSE DAYS. THE BAD DAYS IS WHEN I AM TRYING TO TALK AND CAN'T THINK OF EVERYDAY WORDS. OR GOING TO AN APPOINTMENT TOO EARLY OR MISSING IT COMPLETELY. THE WORST IS CONFUSING MY CHILDRENS' NAME OR GOING INTO ANOTHER ROOM AND FORGET WHAT I WAS DOING. IT DRIVES ME NUTS. I WILL WRITE IT DOWN AND LOSS IT OR PUT SOMETHING IMPORTANT IN A PLACE AND IT NOT BE WHERE I THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE.Darlene <tdyer1@...> wrote: Hi,everyone kind of chilly here in southern Texas but
