[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 571385"] Good idea. However, I think he's getting off the Ambien because of the events of the last few days. Friday night: Threw up, wanted another Ambien. Well, ok, you did throw up. Gave it to him. Saturday night: Put his medications out, then husband and I went out to dinner. Came back, difficult child claims I put two Seroquel out instead of the Ambien and Seroquel. No, I did not mix them up, as the container I took the Ambien out of had only one in there, and it was empty. The pills are white and round, but the Ambien is much bigger. Refused to give him another one. difficult child had a fit, complete acting out. First sobbing, then threatening to run away (we took car keys so no driving with possible sedative in system) took bottle of mood stabilizer (Lamictal) and threw it away. Sunday night: Since he is moving out anyway, got a 7 day pill divider and put his sleep medication for the week inside. I figured this would make him feel more secure since he is always very anxious that I am going to forget to put it out if I go out, even if I'm going to be home early. ( He has no access to controlled medication) Put the pill divider on the counter then we went out. Got back 2 hours later. He was sitting in the kitchen with the pill divider, said he was trying to "organize" it. There were 5 Ambien and one Seroquel missing. His speech was slow and slurred, gait was somewhat unsteady. Obviously impaired. Missing pills nowhere to be found. Got very agitated for the next two hours, insisting we give him another Ambien. Finally gave up and went to bed after haranging us for 3 hours. Right now he's still in bed, says he's going to get up at an undetermined time. I have a call in for his psychiatrist and his therapist. Happy New Year! [/QUOTE]
