ambien and zoloft

If you stopped drinking so much and took up exercise or meditation, you might find the ambien can go, too, and the Zoloft would have a better chance of working.

It has come to a point where I need to medicate myself with several different medicines in order to fall asleep. I usually take Ambien 10 mg and I take two od those and sometimes Xanax 1 mg. I have noticed that Ambien doesnt really help much anymore. I just feel weird when I take it. Sometimes when I dont take anything to sleep and I manage to fall asleep, I have very vivid dreams and nightmares. Even after taking medicine, I dont usually fall asleep until 4 am and I am up at 8 or 9.

i was diagnosed with sleep insomnia, ptsd, panic disorder, and major depresive disorder a little over a yr. ago. at first, the dr's just had me on a low dose of zoloft to see if it would help. tho it did help with the depression and a little with the anxiety, i still couldn't sleep. after raising the dose of my zoloft a few more times, and trying seroquil, the dr's finally put me on ambien when i couldn't sleep.

Did you ask your pharmacist if abilify and ambien and any other meds you might be taking, including OTC meds, might be interacting to cause you to feel like this? Sometimes pharmacists know more about adverse drug interactions than dr's. Just a thought.

Since then, I have been taking Zoloft. Thr Dr. gradually increased my dose from 25mg to 150mg. I stayed and the 150mg until 2 weeks ago. I was telling the Dr. that it seems like my anxiety was coming back. She upped my dosage to 200mg about 2 weeks ago. I was doing good the 1st week, now this week I am an anxious mess. I can't tell if I am better or worse than I was before the dosage increase. Can it be the Zoloft that is creating this extra anxiety? HELP!

the doc put me on 50mg Zoloft i have been on it for about 8 days and its giving me insomnia. I took zoloft about 2 years ago and it did this briefly and then quit (hoping it will stop again). The doc thought about putting me on Cymbalta instead but i went with the Zoloft since i had taken it before and it was "okay"/ some positve help..

Yes, there are different dosages for Xanax and ambien. Ambien is a once at night medication, Xanax is usually one pill three times a day as needed. I don't have experience with klonopin or Zoloft, your MD will know.

I took Paxill and Ambien and it worked just fine. It didn't do anything really that I am aware of to my liver but did enable me to remain on treatment.

This is long and I apologize for that. I have only been on triple treatment for a week and a few days - incivek, riba, and interferon. My second shot was on Friday. Although my first week side effects were tolerable, I have been brought to my knees this week-end and totally understand what people are talking about when it comes to dizziness and nausea and headache! My main issue, however, is sleep - or lack thereof.

i have an employee who just started taking lorazapam, ambien & zoloft. what should I be concerned with?

Dozed off for an hour wide awake but very tired. Just took 5 mg ambien tired but no sleep. Help. will call psychiatrist in morning. Thought I would post again. Up at 4:30 for work at 6 am. Taking my zoloft before going to work has helped during day but by mid afternoon the shakes of being tired set in go to lunch in car to try taking nap, a no go. I am only on 12.5 Zoloft. How long insomnia last.

I became very depressed and started taking Zoloft (antidipressant) and Ambien (sleep med)about 11 months after the accident.I now have hip arthritis. I have had a chroinc stomach ache starting 1.5 years ago. I was also drinking about 3-4 glasses of wine every evening. I never took more than 6 Vicodins in a day.Usually about 2 or 4. Because of this stomache I decided to stop using everything.

Thanks nanny. I'm not going to take ambien. Just rough it out..... Sleepless, 3 kids, full time job and wife. A day in the life...... Awe....

My wife took 100 mg Trazadone every night before bed as a sleeping aid, an off label use. I tried it myself and it didn't work as a sleep aid. I was also looking form help with stress caused depression, it didn't seem to help me in that area either. I switched to Sertraline (Zoloft) not sure if that will help with depression or not. I find the generic Ambien doesn't help me sleep either.

Sertraline(Zoloft) is a antidepressant and are work with the symptoms like depression, panic attacks, anxiety, etc. You can ask for Ambien pills, it good for treating insomnia. Also I recommend you exercise and healthy eating to get quality sleep at night. It works...

can i take lunesta and zoloft and zyprexa together

I was told to switch from 150 mg Zoloft to 20 mg of lexapro and I am also taking 5 mg of abilify. I am SO WORRIED the lexapro will make e dizzy. Please anyone have insight in this. Please help. I am freaking out and so worried.

I'M GOING FROM 2- 150XR'S AND 1- 75XR A DAY TO -1- 150XR AND 200 ZOLFT A DAY FOR 2 WEEKS FOR WEANING THE DOCTOR SAID AND THEN YOU'LL JUST BE ON 200 ZOLFT A DAY AND AMBIEN 10MG,AND I HAVE TREMORS,HANDS SHAKE BAD AND LEGS.CONFUSION,HOT FLASHES,NASEA AND CORDINATION IS BAD.THIRSTY.WHAT CAN I DO????????????????

I was already on zoloft. I also have an antianxiety medication to help with the mania and to help me to relax. I take it every day. The problem that I am having now is when the mood stablizer was taken away (due to intolerance to the medication), I have not been sleeping. I took ambien in the past, but I hallucinated with it. Does anyone know of any mood stabilizers that they are tolerating well? And sleeping medications or remedies that work for them?

It's tough to weigh it out. I used to take klonopin but apparently *all* benzos (xanax, ativan, valium, etc) can cause birth defects. I had to stop Effexor to switch to zoloft. And stop trazadone, tramadol, ambien...I think it boils down to the doctor's experience and preference with certain meds and if they feel they would do more good than bad. Good luck!!

I was on 1.5 mgs of lorazepam, went down to 1 mg a day and was sleeping fine at first, now I'm having more anxiety and having trouble sleeping. I'ts been about a month. I am tempted to go back up to 1.5 again but i'm trying to remain strong. I'm even having to use some ambien to sleep and i'ts starting not to help. How long will this go on? and will my sleep pattern come back? Is it possible the withdrawls are actually getting worse?

I have been on a slew of psychiatric meds since last March including Ambien, Ambien CR, Effexor, Lexapro, Trazodone and now Zoloft and Clonazepam. Most SSRIs cause me to have insomnia which is why my psych prescribed Trazodone. However, I had a very bad experience two weeks ago where I even had to call 911 because I felt like I was having a heart attack. I know what a panic attack is and this was not anything like I had experienced before.

I also have Ambien for night and slept well last night. I take 50mg of Zoloft, which is a low dose but seems to help. It's hard to tell with the Zoloft because I took it the whole time I took the Norco. When I was on norco, I didn't take the Ambien (not my drug of choice, for sure but it does help knock me out when i can't sleep and I wake up fairly alert) I only take 2.5mg or 5mg which again is a low dose. Thanks for support and info.
