I found some information that MIGHT be affecting my mental health. I've been taking Ambien off and on for almost 1.5 years for sleeping problems. But, in the last few weeks, I've been taking it more regularly. Today, I came across
this and discovered that the Ambien could be exacerbating my depressed mood and suicidal thoughts. Needless to say, I've stopped taking the drug and I will definitely let my doctor know how it's been affecting me.
I know this isn't all of my problem, but after reading that, I'm convinced that the Ambien was contributing to the situation.
