Quote:This story has gotten a bit bizarre, but when the dust settles, I'm betting he was taking something like Ambien.  I've read some crazy things about adverse reactions to that particular drug. 

 

yeah ambien has some crazy sides and there is also some other OTC drug that people have been abusing lately, i cant recall which one right now, but it elevates their blood pressure and usually causes extreme bouts of rage.

 

someone was actually on it at the bar i was working in ny a couple months ago, threatened to shoot me, went outside and punched out the giant plate glass window, trying to grab me through the window.

 

his friend took him away from the bar (turns out he was a heroin dealer, but i guess didnt use the product) even though he knew police were coming for him and he was bleeding out from cutting a lot of main blood vessels in the wrist, he refused to give his friend his supply.... he got charged with multiple things including resisting arrest, possession, vandelism, and even hate crime because of the way he was talking to the officer.

 

he kept taking whatever it was and got arrested a week later for threatening to shoot the staff at a neighboring bar.
