What the Hell?

I checked ebay and craig's list. People buy and sell cpaps. I can unload this thing and get most of my money back. I guess my biggest complaint is that after realizing that the machine doesn't work for me, I could not return it. My insurance had already paid out and I have to make a copayment.

I took ambien for several years, and slept very well with it. My doctor will no longer prescribe it because the fda has cracked down on it. Actually, there have been several serious crimes committed by people under the influenceof ambien. Also, it has been used as a date rape drug. It is very, very powerful.

I am nearly immune to the otc sleep aids. I usually do take several every night, as I wake up several times every night and can't get back to sleep. And I gotta go to work in the morning.

They hardly affect me anymore.

I begged my doctor for more ambien. Instead, he tested me for sleep apnea. Results show I got it bad.

But this cpap thing is not going to work. If anybody is interested, I got a scarcely used, demonic, snake-hissing cpap for sale. The supply store will not take it back.

Insomnia is a difficult problem. Most days, I am unable to focus at work, which is difficult, since I am an accountant. I have had a car accident. Last week, I fell down a flight of stairs. I know it is because I am sleep deprived and very, very tired.

Sleep drugs can kill you? So can falling asleep at the wheel.

No ambien, no sleep.

It was extremely frustrating to go through the trouble and expense of a sleep study, purchasing a cpap machine, only to discover that it won't help me, I gotta pay for it, and I can't return it.

I feel rather intelligence-deprived to be in this situation. Usually I research things better than this.

But now, I gotta pop over Craig's list to seeif I can unload this thing. Next week, I am going to look for a doctor who will prescribe ambien.

You are such a caring person DoriC, it probably won't be the last time you will be fooled either.
If only the world had more people like you.. we would be in a better place.. God Bless You!

If you're a troll, it won't be the first time we've been fooled!

I would rather be fooled than to throw a false accusation at someone. Of course, if someone is trying to scam you, that attitude won't work as well for obvious reasons but this person isn't in that category.

I agree,so rather than "accuse", I asked the OP to read and ask questions and get on the right track. I did voice some misgivings because of the "unusual" way the OP presented herself. I would love to eventually see her become one of our success stories.
