It works for me

I have found repeatedly that if I take my meds (OTC & perscription) with a glass of sparkling water (Talking Rain does as well as San Pelligrino) instead of regular water.it makes my Ambien pill kick in about 50% faster. It usually does the same for pain killers like tylenol for me too. Unclear of what drinking fizzy water will do for Zoloft. It's the Ambien that has my eyes too crossed right now to even attempt to look it up in a meaningful way on the internet.
Sarah - what's the explanation?

No idea. But as soon as I am certified, I will have a team of 12th grade chemists at my disposal to help figure that out. My guess (which I have totally pulled out of my butt and have absolutely no scientific basis for) is that the carbonation maybe makes the water slightly basic, so when it and the medication enter your stomach, the resulting reaction with the acid there causes the pills to dissolve more quickly.
