> Went to look up Ambien's company's stock.

Ambien has been generic for a very long time. It's not an expensive drug.

It's also not even indicated for long-term nightly use. You can find stories online of people who get continuous prescriptions from their doctor, but doing so is a rare practice. Most doctors are nervous to prescribe any drug of this class right now. When they do, it's only for short-term or occasional use.

I don't think this is really a pitchforks-out moment against drug companies.
