Matt Drudge: ‘New Low’ for Ambien Maker to Mock Roseanne ‘While They Drug a Generation’
breitbart ^ | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 05/30/2018 11:47:00 AM PDT by davikkm

Conservative media pioneer Matt Drudge slammed drugmaker Sanofi-Aventis on Wednesday for mocking Roseanne Barr’s suggestion that her racially charged remark about Obama White House aide Valerie Jarrett was induced by Ambien. “The drug company mocking Roseanne for her mental illness while they drug a generation is a new low!” Drudge tweeted at the drugmaker’s Twitter handle, @SanofiUS, including three sources detailing the drug’s scary side effects.

The first report — published by Thought Catalog, titled “44 Ambien Stories That Will Creep You The Eff Out” — is a listicle of people recounting their bizarre experiences while on the drug.

One person says they had no recollection of purchases they made on Amazon.

I tried Ambien for a while. I would take it about 30 minutes before going to bed and browse around online, waiting for it to kick in. I started receiving packages from Amazon that I didn’t order. It was all good stuff that I liked, so I called around to family and friend trying to figure out who was so kind to send me stuff. When my credit card bill came, everything was on there, thankfully nothing I couldn’t afford. I checked my Amazon account, and apparently I ordered them myself and don’t recall it. Thanks Ambien. I stopped taking it for fear of what else I might do.

Once you take the stuff....you need to cross off just about everything you could do...even walking the dog, or making coffee. You can hallucinate with it and do some really stupid stuff.

Total bullshit!

The Ambien Walrus did it.

That’s a good excuse.

I guess.

Anything not politically correct, they turn into racism. It’s how they roll. Disney spent the last few decades making themselves 100% politically correct. They went over all of their Disneyworld rides to clean them up of anything that could possibly be interpreted as offensive in any way shape or form. They cleaned up the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. There’s no more “Mr Bluebird on My Shoulder”.

Didn’t the Kennedy’s use the Ambien theory whenever they got caught? I’m gonna start blaming drugs as the culprit.

“So watch that hidden racism, Roseanne, ”
The comment was regarding V Jarrett, an Iranian Muslim brotherhood whore. I don’t think she is half-frikin or any percentage of American black.
Since she does not belong to any special privilege class, the Planet of the Apes comment bears no fruit for the entitled groups.
VJ is Muslim. You can add whatever you want to that description, but I add traitor.

I took Ambien for about 5 days in a row about 7 years ago.

Bad stuff, reminded me of heroin, especially when you wake up the next morning.

Had an insane cotton mouth going after the 4th day, asked my wife what she thought it was and she said it was an ambien side effect.

Threw the bottle away and haven’t touched it since, but the first night without it had insane dreams, incredibly vivid and frightening.

Woke up and immediately googled Ambien withdrawal, this stuff is dangerous, and doctors prescribe it like candy.

Xanax on the other hand is great at bedtime, relaxes and helps put you to sleep with zero side effects, and they have it listed as a controlled substance.

Something very wrong over at the FDA.

Ambien is a dangerous and harmful drug and it should be taken off the market and the manufacturer held liable.

I wonder what kind of deal these bastards made with the WASHINGTONIANS to peddle their poison for so long with no repercussions.

#Banambien

Let the Washingtonians use it, maybe. DC is known for a marked alcohol consumption already. American government would drive a soul to drugs and drink.

I maintain that a lot of drugs that have hazards — maybe even the dreaded Ambien — are fine when used with proper medical supervision. And there’s the rub. Today’s near mechanized healthcare systems aren’t conducive to yesteryear’s kind of understandings between doctors and patients. It’s like the Rx is a bar of soap to wash the doctor’s hands of the patient.

What did Roseanne accuse Valerie of?

The older I get, the more difficult it is to get a good night’s sleep.
My doctored offered Ambien but with the “vivid’ dreams I have, I could be a danger to myself and others.

Melatonin works good enough without the drugged morning feeling.

Whose shoulder was the bluebird on? Do you remember the Disney Classic “Song of the South”?

Oh, that was Uncle Remus.

Disney committed the heinous crime of looking at the bright side of the life of a Negro in the old South. It never was clear to me whether Uncle Remus was a suffering slave at the time — I would tend to doubt it from his talk. If anything, the Disney effort would humanize the Negro, just as did the “darkies” of Stephen Foster lyrics and the Mark Twain tales of Huckleberry Finn. Talk about being punished for a good deed.

There is also the “two cats and/or a dog in the bed” therapy. When the pet sleeps, it has a relaxing effect on the human.

Ambien manufacturers paid off somebody at the FDA during the KLINTOON Administration.

Dangerous drug.

Ban and investigate.

Here is the quote that got her show cancelled:
“Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj ”
That’s it, not very offensive in my book. Especially since VJ is not black.

The circumstances shape the danger. You wouldn’t put a 5 year old behind the wheel of a car.

But again... that would be REAL responsibility. Not nanny-state “responsibility.”
