LOL, the Ambienesia stuff is weird. You don't remember, but others
tend to. I used to post alot after taking it, until I discovered that
I sounded the way they made Warrick "see" in that episode. Very "all
over the place" as it were.
I wouldn't mind getting the housecleaning thing a little more
frequently, still wouldn't vacuum though. That's an old Indian
(American) superstition. I think it's Hawaiian too. Not vacuuming of
course, but 'sweeping' after sun down (bad things, man, bad things).

I used to take Wellbutrin, discovered it's contraindicated with alot
of drugs. It also caused some weird stuff with my brain chemistry. I
ended up on Celexa for a while, then finally weaned off it, and have
been anti-depressant free (except for one week per month, who knew
they'd make the beeyotch become a reasonable person?).

There are so many new drugs coming out every month, I'm not surprised
that doctors have trouble keeping up on what works with what (and vice
versa). I've found that with my pharmacist (small town), when I have
questions, s/he seems to know the best. They have called both of my
doctors about it, and gotten things changed before I even there was a
potential problem.
I'm on Xanax for anxiety (and muscle spasms), that seems to work well
with other things. My only drawback on that, is I can't eat
grapefruit nor can I drink the juice. Ahhh well, such is life.

Yep, been there. Found a few contraindications that aren't really,
but they are generally correct (and I believe the Trazadone and Ambien
one is pretty major.

Oddly, you get used to the pain levels. <cue violins with super sad
music> I have forgotten what it was like to wake up without pain. It
isn't as horrible as it sounds though. Some days are bearable, other
days aren't <shrug>. It is what it is.

Hee, extremely OT, but interesting nonetheless.
