Today, after discussing the side-effects of an insomnia aid, my doctor said that making a choice was naturally a difficult one, and that he would only prescribe it to me once I'd had "a good, long sleep on it". He then laughed out loud and called in the next patient. FML

Oh he was just trying to be funny :) If you think about it, he has to visit tons of patients that expect him to be a miracle worker and if I was in that situation I would definitely make jokes to keep my sanity!

Maybe you'll wake up, and it was all just a dream!

Why don't you use the British NHS for an example then. Anyway, wouldn't it be worse if you were PAYING a doctor and he said/did that? Hmm

Yet another fml which isn't an fml. If u think that a doctor making a funny joke is cause to be unhappy in ur life, then u need to get a life. Loser.

I think it's a good time to buy a new dress.(;

I could see this doctor telling someone with ED that they had a "hard" decision to make. lol

When they say long term they usually mean for months at a time. Most sleeping aids actually prevent you from going into REM sleep which in the end doesn't actually make you less tired it makes you even more tired. And prolonged use of sleeping aids that contain a drug called melatonin which is a natural sleeping aid your body will stop producing it all together and rely 100% on the drugs. It's like a guy that takes steroids and stops he will start to developed breasts because the body no longer produce testosterone. If you actually read the bottle it says (not for long term use) and the said thing is insomnia medication usually have quite a few dangerous side effects >.<
