Scary Stuff
One of the lady's I work with has a husband. This husband was sick and so went to the doctor and from there to the pharmacy. He recieved 3 prescriptions. Prednisone, a steriod for his breathing, ambien for sleep and Levaquin, an antibiotic. So he was having trouble breathing still and trouble sleeping, however it was difficult to stay awake during the day. He eventually left for work one day and crossed the median and wrecked or some such awfullness. He was ok because he was zonked out and no one else was hurt. So back to the ED he went. Discussion ensued and he said I have been taking ... and ambien that big pill. ( Ambien is tiny.) So they investigated the pills. He had in the Prednisone bottle the Ambien. In the Ambien and Levaquin bottles held Levaquin. So his breathing remained bad due to no Prednisone, and he was taking double daily doses of ambien, right before driving to work. True story. Isn't that scary.
