took two of my last four Percocet. So it's good for now, we'll see later. but I'll indulge in pill-seeking, the way they say, as far as it goes, but carefully. Because my tolerance level is such that pot never does that much for me unless it does. I don't do street drugs. I won't snort or inject things and some girl in South Carolina just died after her first hit of extacy.

Instead, I joined [livejournal.com profile] welovebenzos and we'll feed my ambien craving. I'd use an online pharmo. Combination of stress and panic and pain and insomnia- I believe in drugs. And then of course Ambien is Ambien, the finest drug ever created.

Maria didn't come, though Duende's doing the open mic at Sidewalk tomorrow. either I'll go or I won't. I have stitches, and G's not here with me.

[livejournal.com profile] pene and I, thee and me and my girl EG, friends new and old. And just enough love to go around, or try a little tenderness, or, what's the other one? "maybe she's just looking for someone to dance with." I'm just full of love for my G, and I will dance with her among the stars, any day of the week. EG's going out with a guy called Boris. And me, I thought I saw BD on the street in Boerum Hill, but it wasn't him. Still, he invited me out tomorrow night and I said, no, I have stitches, Tom Skerritt, doncha know. He said, "meet me at a bar in Greenpoint and I'll draw."

What if I were Romeo in black jeans?

mmm, percocet, dog-free sister-free house and a new stereo, gonna kick back and listen to RLJ on "jazz" mode, with that megabass thing pushed in.

And tomorrow's not even another working day.

This is a weird world. "March" in on random rotation on my cd player right now, and that song just ended as I hit "LJ Friends".

Synchronicity of a sort.

I'm gonna stick my pharmacist oar in here and say that feeding your Ambien addiction is not such a good thing. You WILL get to the point where you can't sleep without it, if you're not there already. I can't stop you from doing something you're going to do, whether I disapprove or not, but I can suggest that a better alternative to Ambien for your sleep problems would be Zyprexa, which is not addictive, and seems to actually work on the cause of recalcitrant insomnia, rather than just making you sleep. Also, it doesn't fuck with your REM. But hey. What do I know?

And, no, I LOVE Ambien. *g*

Okay, here's the quick scoop on Zyprexa. Technically, it's an anti-psychotic, but it's being used for much more than that recently, and the company that makes it is getting more indications passed by the FDA. Specifically, it's really good for people who have insomnia due to (even in part) anxiety. It kicks mucho ass at anxiety, while not causing dependence like Ambien and Sonata do. The only side effect that may be a concern is weight gain, but in your case, I don't think that's much of an issue. Also, there is some thought that by relieving anxiety, appetite comes back. Zyprexa also works in people who have failed antidepressants, so I was thinking of mentioning it to Robbie, but she seems to be sleeping again, so I not sure if she'd still need it. As for Sonata -- it falls pretty much into the same category as Ambien. Same family (benzodiazepine) which includes also Valium and Xanax. And, btw, both Ambien and Sonata, according to their package instructions, should not be prescribed for more than 14 days in a row. Not that most doctors adhere to that, unfortunately.
