[ga...] Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Finally got to see the movie "Role Models" last weekend and noticed they had a few jokes about Ambien and Lunesta: 1) Main character said he wanted to take Ambien, so he could "stay up all night" with a lady friend. The next morning, he ends up face down without clothes near the fire pit. 2) Another main character gets introduced as "Lunesta". The other characters then say "Hail Lunesta". After which, one character says "Isn't that a sleeping pill ?" While it was lighthearted humor, I couldn't help but feel how unaware the film writers were of the hell users of these sleeping pills have to endure (especially to get off them). In my case, Ambien nearly drove me crazy had I not forced myself off of it. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Hi George, Considering Heath Ledger, you'd think they would be a little more sensitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone was tense... then I heard a voice cut through the din saying 'Anyone have an Ambien?' followed by laughter from those nearby. Seriously sad I thought.
