I was reading up on the drug list for McCain and couldn't help but notice that he is taking at least two sleeping pills to nod off. Most VA PTSD cases also have this hypervigelance getting to sleep problem and are prescribed sleep pills. But McCain is getting the private drugs from his private physcian, much like Elvis was doing, so it comes as no suprise McCain is on two different sleeping pills and one of them, Ambien, is only to be used for a few weeks for trauma cases, not a daily regiment because it is addicting and causes withdraw symptoms when you try to stop. Obviously, McCain is getting his nightly fix, or more, and is a regular user of Ambian, not a temporary one.

Here is some onformation about this brain altering drug that helps explain some of the outward behavior of McCain, like his violent outburts, forgetfulness, etc. Do we want an addicted president who is senile, and forgets and can't remember simple details like who the enemy is?

===============Article cut for length===
Most important fact about Ambien

Sleep problems are usually temporary and require medication for a week or two at most. Insomnia that lasts longer could be a sign of another medical problem. If you find that you need this medicine for more than 7 to 10 days, be sure to check with your doctor.

Remember, too, that you can become dependent on some sleep medications if you use them for a long time or at high doses.

Ambien and other sleep medicines can cause a special type of memory loss. It should not be taken on an overnight airplane flight of less than 7 to 8 hours, since "traveler's amnesia" may occur.

When you first start taking Ambien, until you know whether the medication will have any "carry over" effect the next day, use extreme care while doing anything that requires complete alertness, such as driving a car or operating machinery. Older adults, in particular, should be aware that they may be more apt to fall.

If you take Ambien for more than 1 or 2 weeks, consult your doctor before stopping. Sudden discontinuation of a sleep medicine can bring on withdrawal symptoms ranging from unpleasant feelings to vomiting and cramps.

When taking Ambien, do not drink alcohol. It can increase the drug's side effects.

If you have breathing problems, they may become worse when you use Ambien.

People who take too much Ambien may become excessively sleepy or even go into a light coma. The symptoms of overdose are more severe if the person is also taking other drugs that depress the central nervous system. Some cases of multiple overdose have been fatal.

Haven't we learned enough about spreading rumors?

Do you have any article to show that he is in fact taking Ambien?

I don't actually care whether my president is a drug addict.

I don't understand this thread. If Bush was fit to be president then McCain certainly is...

PAT PAULSEN FOR PRESIDENT

This is hillarious...

Keep em coming... The more you post, the more you make my point for me.

Hillary withdrawl must be a terrible thing for some to go through. There's always 2012

I heard it was Geritol, he was addicted too???

No, that was Jerry Hall. And it was Mick Jagger that was addicted

Rumors? McCain's psycho behavior is not rumors, nor are the drugs reported by CNN he is taking and the symptoms of those drugs related to the symptoms McCain displays. His physician skirted the psychoanalysis diagnosis, because he is not qualified as an internist - that takes a psychiatrist. We were right about Bush, and we maybe right about McCain. I don't want to have to put him office to see he is a loose screw, because then it is too late - as we have found out with Bush.
