"the doctor prescribed it for me to replace zolpidem, which was working just fine, but my mother, who was also my caregiver, suspected that i was abusing it. my doctor warned me about getting pregnant while taking this drug, so she asked me if i was sexually active or breastfeeding. to me, the drug was an overly powerful sedative. i woke up so groggy in the morning after a night of nightmares. my doctor and my mother forced me to take them, anyway. they made my mouth dry. they could be dangerous. it was like i was sleepwalking through life, and i was constantly fighting the drug. the nightmares became stronger and stronger. i finally had to stop taking them, and the nightmares linger to this day."
