It's probably just my experience with edibles but omg I'm picturing being high on a plane and that would be the opposite of calming for me lol +1....my few experiences have been....not good. I keep trying thinking I haven't found the right strain but I think I might need to go back to inhaling. One time my husband, myself, and 2 friends took a dose we thought would just "ease our aches and pains"....The night that ensued was straight from hell and still talked about a few years later.

In general, I cringe at all the “take a Xanax and have a drink.” And I’m not uptight about that stuff. But a plane is not the place you want to find out if that agrees with you. I like not being on the no fly list.

I was hoping for a nice long rest and instead I was glued to my recliner with what felt like electricity running through my body for hours.

This is why it is ok to drink at any time of day at the airport. Otherwise, you could take a gummy. Maybe before hand, but probs wouldn’t recommend flying with gummies/taking them through TSA. 😬 I have put them in my pill box before with my other meds. never questioned.

While they may not be looking for it, it’s still against federal law. I’ve encountered enough angry TSA agents that I wouldn’t give them any reason to have a problem with me. We've had this argument before. Or maybe it was a confessions thread? But yeah I once had a TSA agent dump out the makeup bag I keep my pill bottles in. Which is why I travel with all my meds in their original bottles or packaging. I'm not trying to get put in a windowless room for having controlled substances on me.

That’s wild. I thought all the lawsuits so far have been civil, so there’s no reason to raid and detain. That’s for criminal shit. Diddy is TRASH for bringing his kids into this. They have been civil but the stuff that has come out in them including the under age women I’m not surprised he is now being investigated

Last night, my H was scrolling Twitter and goes "oh wow, they raided Diddy's houses for alleged sex trafficking?" and I was like "oh, they finally got the criminal charges rolling, good." He didn't understand that was not new info to me. I message board while you work all day, H.

I stand in the TSA line worrying over whether I do in fact have a bag of coke in my bag when I have never done cocaine in my life, because irrational anxiety is fun. So yeah, despite my regular ingesting of weed products, I'm not gonna fuck around with getting arrested at the airport.

I like not being on the no fly list. I’m no prude either, having never combined Xanax and a drink this would absolutely not want to be the way you fuck around and find out you can’t tolerate that. Sounds like absolute hell. Not everyone tolerates every single thing. They had to up the warnings with Ambien because apparently there are regular sized women who take it at night and are so blitzed next day they would qualify as impaired if they get pulled over. You want to have had Xanax multiple times before and know your tolerance and not screw with alcohol before getting stuck in a metal tube in the sky.

In law school, we had a whole chapter on things people did on Ambien. Like, unbelievable, terrifying things. I was prescribed at the time for occasional insomnia and it freaked me out so much, I haven’t taken it since.

I won’t remember doing it but I’ll occasionally go and make myself a piece of toast and dump ranch seasoning on it. The kitchen will be clean and all evidence of it is of a very sober person who knew what went on. I’ll remember the toast but not the ranch. Problem solved by not buying ranch. I’ve bought a few things online I didn’t intend to but it’s all stuff I had already looked at. Thankfully I have very strict rules about drinking and driving so I’ve never once even started the car on it. My brain somehow remembers.

I was given ambien the night before my son was born and I was wired all night. 10/10 do not recommend if you’ve never taken it before.

It was wild, she's perimenopausal so her Dr gave her some Ambien to help her sleep. She filmed a whole video of herself "asleep" dying her hair. She has no recollection of it. Jesslfar

That would be so awful. My ambien personality is identical to my drunk one. No crazy shenanigans, I offer to do things like chair committees and buy redundant Pottery Barn stuff. I wonder if drunk her does weird stuff.

Ambien me just thinks NASA stuff for girls is cool and buys lunch boxes with it. Same shopping habits as wine drunk me.

Eating ranch seasoning has got to be funniest ambien side effect I've ever heard. If I take an edible to sleep sometimes I'll wake up to eat chocolate chips. I knew a cop who took ambien and woke up in a ditch with his patrol car in the middle of the night. Not as cute as ranch toast.

Baked macaroni, it was some weird stoner type logic. Sometimes I would also put blue cheese dressing on things where it didn’t belong. Eating food you don’t recall is a common side effect.

FDA recommended cutting the Ambien dosage for females in half from 10mg to 5mg due to all the fuckery mentioned. Google tells me that was back in 2013. I've been prescribed ambien on and off since probably about 2009 and it's crazy to think I used to take 10mg, as a petite woman clocking in at under 110lbs . Now I cut my 5mg pills in half and it's a good amount for me. No crazy business. Have never taken on a flight though.

When my dad was on ambien he was acting bat shit crazy. But he didn’t believe my mom when she told him. My sis and I texted my brothers who saw him all summer to confirm the behavior started when he started on Ambien, then my BIL and I somehow got nominated to go do an “intervention” and take them from him lol. He was like I’m not doing anything crazy Me: dad mom told me you were eating salad at 3am. No one sane eats salads at 3am when waking up hungry.
Anyway. He’s no longer been on ambien.
