ambien and narcotics

Narcotics also would get my heart racing. I had to take Halcion, Tramadol, and antihistamines at the same time to make myself sleepy.

talk t ur doctor...u can not just stop the 2 mg of xanax..u will need to taper that down...the norco u can stop..the ambien if only after 2 nights u can stop...talk with ur physician and find an alternative that works..the seroquil mentioned above works for many with severe insomnia...ambien will not help bad insomnia only occasional sleepless nights....and u never know which drug will hit ur "button" and cause u to abuse it...for me it is narcotics..for some benzos and others ambien..

I would take that any day (night) instead of Ambien. Ambien shares some, but not all, of the characteristics and receptors affected, that Benzos do. Just my experience, Elavil is pretty helpful to me getting to sleep. I go off it sometimes just to see the result. Sleep is still ok, but can be iffy. I still want to be free from all pills, but recognize I have to pick my battles.

I TAKE 100MG VICODIN A DAY ABOUT TEN A DAY AND 4 VALIUM AND 6 ATIVAN AND 2 AMBIEN, I FEEL LIKE IM OVER DOING IT, WHEN IS TOO MUCH?

My biggest problem was with pain pills. I cut back on ambien, and then quit. Then, cut back on Xans, and then quit those. My biggest struggle are the pain pills and I quit those last. Just remember to have a back up plan on dealing with your emotions; the mental part will be tough.

I am on Prozac 20mg and have 10 x 15 mg tabs left as well as Valium, Ambien and Xanax and Codiene. Could someone with a bit more knowledge let me know how I can make this less difficult - I cut down to 5 tabs yesterday and got diarreahea and felt awful...Should I just go off them completely and throw myself into withdrawal? Any advice would be really, really appreciated. PS: I cant go for treatment here as they are very tough on usage of narcotics unprescribed.

I sent you a message about the ambien. I was addicted to both, ambien and hydros. My story was a little long, so I sent it in a message.

I got information from this site and shared it with him and he was completely supportive. I have taken ambien at night, without that recovery time It would be to rough. thanks to : My freinds and all.

t been addicted to soma, but a friend of mine was and t was hell, just as bad as narcotics. The ambien CR almost killed me and my family. Even though they say they are non-narcotic doesn't mean that they are safe. Good luck and keep posting.

It is not known to be physically addictive tho Large doses of tramadol or benzos can cause seizures if stopped abruptly and best to do under a drs care. Ambien and lunesta are not known to have a seizure risk if stopped...but if ur dose was huge, the possibilty would be there as with many drugs the brain becomes accustomed to. We are all different tho and some are more prone to seizures than others/but not common with cessation of ambien. You state you took 1-2, sometimes 3....

I used after 14 days for a weekend. Went back into wds and got clean ct. I know you need sleep and taking ambien is much more desirable than exercise. But the easier softer way is not always best for us.

m not turned away, that it works, and I can go back my life without narcotics. i want to cook, garden, swim, ride, and make love to my husband again. After 2 years in bed, I miss living. This surgery better come through. My level of pain, even somewhat softened with narcotics, is unlivable, and I don't want to do it anymore. I don't want to live the rest of my life out being the boiling frog in the water.

Hi there. I think it is possible that the ambien and the lunesta may be the cause of your false positive for benzos. Although fairly controversial, i have read of people who have failed pre employment drug screens even though they consumed no narcotics. Ambien or lunesta was the common denominator in many of these stories. Whilst both are not true benzos but a 'z 'class hypnotic,sedative,anxiolytic,they have similar properties to benzos and tickle the same receptor sites.

ve heard a few ladies on here say their doc told them to take like a half a capsule of unisom but if check with your doc first when i was pregnant with my son and was hospitalized dozens of times my doc gave me ambien and i was on pain medicine in my iv the mix of those two do not go good together! I was soooooo freaking messed up! I was actually hallucinating! And boy did i let my doc hear it the next morning!

Ambien will help you get some sleep so yes I would say it is good. I worked for a Dr. before and the highest dose I saw given was a total of 12mg. So if the tab was 6mg then the patient could take 2. Taking 2 10mg of ambien seems a little high to me.Maybe someone else could answer better than me. I am one of those people that ambien doesn't work. I have tried Ambien cr, Lunesta (sp?) and regular Ambien and still couldn't get any sleep.

I am prescribed 4 10/325 Narcos a day. I am also prescribed 2mg of xanax a day, thyroid replacement, Zoloft and ambien . I take about 8-15 Marcos a day. Obviously I am prescribed much less so every single month I run out, withdraw a least a day or more and have to buy them on the street which is dangerous and $6 a pill. I do not get high anymore, they barley help with pain and am so depressed I can't see straight.

I'm 17 and was in a wreck back in December 2009. After my wreck i was have post traumatic stress and couldn't sleep because of the dreams from the wreck. My doctor prescribed me Ambien and I started taking it the way i was suppose to at first. Then i noticed if i didnt fall asleep right after i took it the effects were really weird. I started to like the effects it had on me so i would take it when i was around my friends just because it seemed fun.

I'm no doctor, so I definitely can't give you any medical information on Ambien, but I can relay my personal experience with it. I've been on Ambien (currently 10mg) for SEVERAL years now (5 or more). I have many chronic pain conditions, including fibroymalgia. One of the major symptoms of fibro is insomnia - which I definitely suffer from!

t want to relapse and have no desire to take any narcotics. Can someone please tell me if they know anything about this? I did the right thing and told her no narcotics, but I am still afraid.

Does she think it's an issue? Personally,I think Ambien is a dangerous drug to be taking all the time. But,if she can't sleep and hasn't increased her dose for a year,then this is her lifestyle. I don't agree with it either but I know insomnia can be just horrible. There are other things she can take. If she wants to try it, suggest Melatonin and Valerian root. It's safe and it works for a lot of people. However,anyone on SSRI's should avoid Melatonin.

Hello mom and welcome. Heroin and ambien are both central nervous system depressants. Taken together it is very dangerous as they both depress the respiratory and central nervous system. How old is your son? Does he live with you? How long has he been Abusing drugs for?

At least 6-7 years at a pop and can stop it with very mild consequences. Some lack of sleep and maybe some headaches and neck/back pain but really nothing. Try OTC Advil pm or something maybe.

d probably feel a lot better without the Ambien and the pain meds! See a doctor ( less expensive than the ER ) and start working on getting off the pills. Good luck!

I guess I don't agree with most on here. I've used Ambien and Ambien CR on and off for several years. I've gone as much as 10-15 days in a row, and as much as 30 days inbetween. Your body will get used to the Ambien, but it is not addictive. If you take it for a few days in a row, then you will have a night or two where it is more difficult to fall asleep.

Well you got me interested lol, so I searched Methadone and weight gain on this forum and there are tons of people with the same complaints. Someone said it slows your metabolism and makes you retain water. Do a search and read some of the comments.

I stay active, do my physical therapy exercises, take Ultram twice a day for pain, Xanax 1-3 times a day, Effexor in the morning, and Robaxin and Ambien at night to sleep and let my muscles rest. Today my doctor insisted that I take more Effexor, so I took a second dose this afternoon and was cleaning house like Samantha Stevens when she casts a hurry-up spell on herself.
