Common Questions and Answers about Ambien and oxy

ambien

Avatar n tn Dani,will oxy relieve the subx w/d symotoms? yes, and if you start having addiction probs with the oxy. you could start shooting herion, it will control the oxy w/d symptoms. I think you see where im headed with this, you are going the wrong way. Get back on the subx detox plan and speak with your M.D. about things to help with the symptoms. Self medicating with oxy is not going to help you get clean, Communicate with your MD. let him know about insomnia, bone pain,vomiting ect.
Avatar f tn No more anxieties, but for 5 days now, no sleep and severe bouts of crying and slight body tremors. Im also on 30 mgs of oxy for pain, that I want to get off of, but first things first. How log will the mental pain and tremors take to feel almost my normal self again, where I can smile and enjoy life? I cant take this anymore...
Avatar n tn I will sleep for an hour or so then im up for 2 hours. I have ambien and havent tried it since doc said no benzo, sleeping meds, etc. He said try benedryl which does not work. Can you take ambien with sub?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn As you know, everyone is different. For me, and I am also an Oxy Addict in recovery, sleep was the last thing to get back to normal. It seemed like forever, but I was also taking about 960mgs a day (12 80's) and went cold turkey the first time. It was bad. But I did it. So it does take time, but you can do it. You never know, you could be sleeping by tonight. Good luck...

Avatar f tn I did not take any Vicodin ... I took an ambien and a zanaflex ( short acting Muscle relaxer) last night to sleep. I just thought in 24 hours I would see something... and like I said ... I am in pain ... but its the exact pain I always have. So you think that my w/d is just going to take longer to start ... why ? can you explain...
501205 tn?1227345442 I took ambien for 3-5 days when I was in serious wds from vics and oxy. My husband said I was fun! But I didn't remember it at all, not even a glimmer. Sort of like my alcoholic black out experiences.
Avatar f tn I have read the posts on this site for years, and it has helped me tremendously through my many, many detoxes. I won't go through my whole history, but been on and off (mostly on) opiates for 10 years and I just turned 29. I have home detoxed so many times now, I can't count. This is the first time I truly want to (and need to) stop. The doctors have now upped me to slow release oxy, regular oxy and norco everyday.
Avatar n tn To be fair I say 5 days because I only used Hydrocodon or Oxy Codone. On sunday I took 5 MG of methadone and then Monday 2.5 Tuesday I took one half of a Tramadol and Today the other half. (the smaller MG Tramdol) I did this to ween off of taking 10 5 mg oxycodone a day. I felt aweful Sunday and Monday but each day has seen some improvemnt. Hopefully I will fall asleep before 12AM. Last night I fell asleep at 1AM but slept all the way until 730 unlike the previous nights.
Avatar m tn Accept the fact your sleep is not going to stabilize much for a couple weeks. You can try melatonin and valerian root which can be found in the vitamin section of most stores..You might get lucky and have your sleep come back in 10 or 12 days but that rare..Around 17 days is when it shows signs of getting better. A real hot bath or shower before bed, avoid naps, try to exercise some during the day even though it will feel like a daunting task is about the best one can do..
Avatar m tn At day 19 I thought I would be completely finished with these xanax wd's but they keep coming and coming. Late last night I watched a commercial about Lunesta and they mentioned that a common side effect was new or worsening depression. That caught my attention so I began to frantically research Ambien and every article I've read lists new or worssening depression as a common side effect. I've been taking Ambien off & on for the past 2 years..usually only 1/2 a tablet.

Avatar f tn Well I slept a LOT better and I'm telling y'all, that makes THE difference for me. I did take a low dose Ambien that I got from the dr the last time I was w/d. I have usually had to take diphenhydramine since forever to get sleep so I don't think I'll get hooked on the Ambien. It doesn't hug me like Oxy did.
Avatar m tn I also have insomnia and with ambien can only stay asleep for 2 or three hours at night. My body is aching but I guess that is just the price I have to pay for letting things get this far along. Congatulations to you too for getting as far as you have and thank you so much for saying you believe in me..
Avatar m tn Slightly labored breathing (not as bad as first 5 days) but sure make time go slowly. I take an ambien and go to sleep wake up in a few hours and do it 3 times total every night. have been taking Melatonin too. Need, more experienced advice.
Avatar m tn tuesday i wanted to die and yesterday was better but i took ambien through the entire withdrawls and slept all day and night until I felt better.
Avatar f tn It seems that every time I stop taking ambien for a few days and I'm feeling side effects. When I wake up my head is killing me, my kidneys are killing me, and I can't stop sudden movement. I have tried to stop several times though my doctors and with therapy but its like nothing works. I try to stick with it but if I have to deal with worst side effects. I can't believe I've been in this mess since '09 and I'm taking too many to even my prescriptions out.
Avatar m tn i am an ex oxy user and in the last year or so i have been on percs, tabs, and so forth. i tried to get clean and ended up getting coke instead of a pill. i try to step forward but this monkey wont get off my back. i've trying so hard the past few weeks and i'm failing over and over and i succumb and by a pill. my biggest issue is the pain of the withdraws. can anyone please help me.
Avatar n tn I too was an a** for 7 days, today i started feeling better, folks from the forum told me to take ibuprofen 800/1000mg a few times aday, take longggg hot baths, istarted the baths today, i am a slow learner and low and behold i feel better this pm than i have since i went cold-turkey. so with 2wks.
1036706 tn?1252827906 I take meds for that and I cant sleep without Ambien. So I feel like I am doomed in the worst way! Can anyone give me a shout with some advice???
Avatar m tn I was a weekend type vicodin user for 20 years but after the layoff I went deeper. last year and a half I was doing about 8 a day sometimes including oxy or adderral. quit 10 days ago. I was definitely ready to quit and I don't miss them at all. 7 weeks before I quit I started eating better and lost 30 pounds. problem is that the first week I got by at night with xanax which doesnt work for me to well and also ambien.
Avatar m tn Was up all night typing, what iam going thru iwas on 80 mg. Of oxy. For almost a year Friday I quit with a veryvmad wife to help, but she's great done any and ever thing. For 3 days just her n I. Then we called the doc. Who was mad at me when I told him. My wife n I needed help he gave Xanax for day and lunesta at night, which gave me 4 hrs. Of sleep my question is now its day 5 should I not be taking these Xanax? When will the tremors stop completly?
