Ambien Is the Miracle Cure for Day-Time Social Axiety?
Question by : Ambien is the miracle cure for day-time social axiety?
When you take Ambien, you experience a lot of really nice feelings and you don’t want to go to sleep just yet. I’m talking about complete and utter calm. A mild feeling of euphoria. Slow movements. Living in the now. Watching TV and being able to focus with razor sharp precision as to what the people are talking about. So I have been taking this at night and then getting some sleep. I have been recently taking 15 mg at night up from the prescribed 10 mg. I may go up to twenty mg at some point just for the experience.
On to my point about day-time use. I have worse social anxiety than any person whom I have known in my life, including family members, friends and co-workers. It has manifested in several areas including myself not having friends and the inability to get close to girlfriends in a more intellectual intimate way. They get sick of it and dump me.
Going back to my school days: I had one friend in middle school and one friend in high school. I had fewer friends in school than any other student, including the outcast students. I was a ghost in high school. When I was a senior some students would even ask me if I was still in school? They thought I had dropped out. I tried to make myself as unanimous as possible, eating lunch in the library, not participating in any school events after school. I was so anxious at school, that I would often throw up in the school bathrooms in the morning. When I went to a summer art camp for six weeks when I was sixteen, I was so socially anxious, that after the program, most students had never even heard of me or seen me. I also threw up a lot there, skipped most of my meals because I had no appetite and didn’t like being in the cafeteria and went down to 130 pounds at five foot 11. I had no friends in college, was very depressed there, developed severe depression, mild agoraphobia, didn’t go to parties, severe OCD, body dysmorphic disorder and really bad anxiety– and I dropped out. I soon after landed my dream job at Disney. The job was fun, but of course I couldn’t enjoy it as much as I should have because I was so negative, unhappy and anxious. I also was 20 and never had a girlfriend. This was also causing me tremendous amounts of depression. I hadn’t drank even a sip of alcohol up to this point because I was scared that it would make me hallucinate and cause me to lose my mind as had happened when I smoked marijuana a few times when I was sixteen. Anyway, how it happened, I don’t remember, but I started to drink alcohol. I realized that when I got drunk, I could talk to girls. The first time I talked to a girl I was literally blind drunk. This was a huge revelation for me. I thought I had found the magic bullet. And I did get girls, maybe 10 in that year. This was the only time I got drunk, however, was to talk to girls. I would walk around Disney World basically drunk talking to girls. They didn’t expect I was drunk because it was out of their mind that someone could be drunk at Disney World. I eventually left Disney and went back to college to finish my degree. This time around I felt I was coming back with the secret bullet in my pocket and get lots of girls in college using my alcohol “treatment”. Not surprisingly this worked as well as it did at Disney and I got quite a few girls in college. After college, I decided to move to Japan to teach English. In the training program for English teachers, I was sober because I only used alcohol to get girls. I was criticized all over the place for speaking too sofly, not smiling, talking to fast, acting nervous, etc. I took those criticisms very deeply and I thought I would be a terrible teacher due to my anxiety. I then had a thought. What if I taught English after drinking alcohol. Well guess what? It worked big time (or at least that was my impression at the time). I was smiling ear to ear, I had no fear and no fear meant that I could concentrate on teaching and teach confidently. The adrenaline of teaching in front of many students offset the confusion that the alcohol would bring on and I would be able to teach quite good lessons (or at least that was my impression). I had the courage to eat lunch with students and participate in after school events, all the while after taking several shots of vodka which I put in a water bottle. I needed to imbibe before class because if I didn’t the anxiety would have consumed me. Even giving a speech in high school was terrifying, so teaching a 50 minutes class in front of 40 junior high school students was completely impossible sober. I perhaps could have done it, but I had become so reliant on the booze that I became too scared to try it even once sober. I do believe the classes were good. I wasn’t blind drunk or anything. The classes were fun and I was a popular teacher. The students loved talking to me because I was so fun. The downside of this was that at the end of work I was incredibly exhausted and just went ho
Another subtle problem with the alcohol is that even when you are a fun teacher that the kids enjoy being around you never really expose yourself. The person comes off as a bit fake and the students and teachers never truly feel close to the person. I didn’t really make any friends in Japan.
Just made some students laugh and hopefully taught them some English.
Another problem of course is that I was exhausted after each work day. Alcohol will do that. I would go home and sleep. My life was drinking and work and sleep. This went on for a while at several schools. No one knew I was doing this, thoug.
However, after a few years, the effects of the alcohol were changing. My fun state while on alcohol was changing. I started teaching at high schools and whereas the students would do what the teacher said, the high school students would often refuse direction from and would play with their cell phones during class. I believe the alcohol caused me to have an overly belligeren
belligerent attitude towards the students. Many students stopped liking me. I would often get angry towards my students and co-workers. I also started to realize that I was not reaching my full-ability as a teacher; the alcohol was arresting my development. I wasn’t developing in many ways in my life because of the anxiety and alcohol. My job in Japan now is working face to face with new customers all day. Went back to the alcohol trick. But at this point, it has all but lost its benefits. I now just feel tired, miserable and belligerent and even more anxious. I went to a doctor and he prescribed me several types of Benzos none of had any effect, except to make me sleepy. I abandoned that plan and went back to the alcohol. At the same time, I started taking Ambien for problems I was having with sleep. I have been taking 10 mg of Ambien every night to sleep. This stuff IS NOTHING LIKE XANAX, KLONOPIN, or any of that other crap that doesn’t work. I go along with the progra
I go along with the program and get in bed and try to sleep, maybe read a book, I will be out in 15 minutes and get several solid hours of sleep. Today I decided to do my job sober but with 5 mg of Ambien in my system. This stuff is awesome for the day time and is a hundred thousand times better than alcohol for courage because I said after years of abusing alcohol I was not longer experiencing the feelings of courage–just anxiety and even worse anxiety than if I had drank nothing. Today on Ambiem, I felt zero anxiety, I felt euphoric, I stared people dead in their eyes. I talked slowly and coherently and listened to what the person was saying very intently. I have never felt so calm in my life. It was like I was experiencing the world for the first time the way normal people experience it. I almost cried. The effect started to wear off after 3 hours, though. I am going to continue this tomorrow and pop .5 every three hours. I will update. I think this is the cure I hav

I read through all that and now I wonder, where is the question? Ambien is a sedative meant for short-term treatment of insomnia. It’s also habit-forming

Dr. Donald Tashkin Marijuana Lung Cancer Study Pt 1 of 2
Pulmonary specialist and Federal Government researcher from UCLA Geffen School of Medicine finds that marijuana does not cause lung cancer in his study on the effects of cannabis and the lungs. Results of this study are discussed for the first time. If you agree that cannabis should be legal, write a letter to your congressperson and tell them to legalize it! Cannabis was made illegal because the paper industry was split between the hemp and the wood pulp factions. The wood pulp people had more money and won, which caused a negative ripple effect in our society such as the loss of a valuable medicine. Since the prohibition of cannabis began the cancer rates have grown at an alarming rate. Cannabis is used for thousands of purposes and it’s loss of use has caused great hardship to everyone. It is time for truth to prevail and prohibition to stop. Please watch and share part 2: www.youtube.com Thanks
