ambien

5326543 tn?1367587265 been suffering insomnia with extreme fatigue lately, my daughter got me some sleepy time tea a couple nights ago and I have finally been able to sleep for 3-4 hours/time. May help, it did for me. Has valerian and chamomile, don't know if these are ok for the liver but.
Avatar f tn My mom took Ambien for a few months. She's off for about a month now. She's still exhibiting significant short term memory loss and cognitive confusion -- that look like early dementia. Has anyone has experience where they've seen these memory impacts go away or reduce after a while of being off the Ambein? Online I see postings of people who were on the Ambein for a few years, and still have the memory loss issues years afterward. I'm getting worried.
Avatar m tn 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!
1564517 tn?1314346323 Is anyone on Ambien, or been on it, or know any additional information about it? If so please do tell. Thank you!
1175891 tn?1265728013 I am a 22 year old in the army who returned from overseas late last year. I took 3 ambien on the 14 hour flight back, had a six pack of beer with the guys, and went to sleep. The next day I woke up, drank an energy drink (which I have been drinking at the rate of one to two a day for the past 2 years) and suddenly had a really tachy heart beat and a faint radial pulse. I went to the ER and the ECG came back normal.
Avatar m tn I have been having weird sleep issues recently, and I suspect it may have been the Ambien i was taking. I have always had a slight phobia of going to sleep since what happened in the past (hypnic jerks when dozing, and being up for almost a week). Ambien is what originally allowed me to sleep. I was stable for many years, but I still had an uneasiness about sleep just by looking at my bed. So I would pop a partial piece of ambien (usually about 1/4 pill).
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar f tn As I have always had an intolerance for antidepressants, I stopped the Ambilify and at the time of the seizure was only taking the Seroquel to help me sleep. I may have still had Ambien by then, but I doubt it, (my memory has been FRIED since the seizure!). I am a cannabis user, (I MUST have something to calm myself and help me fall asleep and I have found this is the best thing for me) and have been for about 10 years. On the day of the seizure, I had had a couple of drinks...
Avatar f tn I have tried benadryl, ambien, triazolam for my insomnia. Currently taking clonazepam daily for anxiety. What other meds can I discuss with my doctor which are indicated for insomnia. Ambien did absoutley nothing for me. Benadryl can sometimes have the opposite effect on me and have me tossing and turning when I take more than 50 mg.'s. Since I am already taking a benzodiazepine I don't want to take another.
Avatar f tn Also another thing, similar to my original onset of symptoms after a dental extraction in 2003, I went to the dentist for just 2 fillings. The dentist gave me no epinephrine at my request with the local, but BAM once again, 30 minutes after I got home, severe onset of blurred vision/paresthesias with out of body feeling, which lasted about 2 or 3 days and got better.
Avatar f tn How do you get through an Ambien withdrawl? I was taking up to 7 a day> shaking,sweating,nausea and my mind feels drunk. R there any non-addictive meds to help the detox?
Avatar f tn Has anyone ever been given ambien during pregnancy? I just started on it last night to help me sleep. Anyone have any negative effects? Should i be worried about my babies?
Avatar f tn I'm 16+2 my dr prescribed me ambien..I'm scared to take it as I've seen what it does to my mom...anyone not have bad side effects like sleep walking, sleep driving or hillucinating?
Avatar f tn I've looked up a lot about ambien during pregnancy and I haven't found anything saying you shouldn't take it or that it'll harm the baby. Has anyone spoken to their doctor about ambien? I've had ambien prescription for years and it's really hard for me to sleep. No I'm not addicted, I used to take it only once or twice a week. It wasn't an every day thing. But it gets sooooo hard for me to sleep some nights so I'm wondering if it's safe.
491910 tn?1209366193 then 30...and so on until its 5 then jump off. I have ambien,rozerem scripts myself but stopped the ambien and made it a once a week or less thing because it can be bad news. You might want to see if the Dr will switch you to say lunesta and see if you can use that while getting off ambien or when you tapered low enough to jump and switch. Good luck.
Avatar n tn r u sure it is the ambien? it could be a mixture? all 3 drugs aggravate depression and out of the 3 ambien is categorized as the least addictive of the three drugs u r taking.....i would talk to my doctor and find another alternative for sleep....taking these every night could get u into trouble..have u tried the natural sleep aids like melatonin, valerian, etc?
870200 tn?1240459551 Does anybody hae any comments about ambien? That stuff is crazy.... when I take it I find myself calling people and having intense conversations but the next day I can't remember anything. I can't even remember going to bed. But if I don't take it I can't fall asleep...
Avatar n tn While I was in the office, I forgot to ask whether this new drug could interact with the Ambien, so I stopped taking the Ambien until I could see my doctor again. About a month went by in which I did not use Ambien at all. During this time, the abdominal pains gradually lessened over a period of weeks, and eventually disappeared.
Avatar n tn Everyone keeps telling me you need rehab to get off ambien is this true?? I have been on it for 2 years on and off. I have trying to cut my dose. Can anyone give me the side effects of discontinuation ?
501205 tn?1227345442 I couldnt sleep last night and took an ambien for the first time in awhile and I have to say those are bad pills. I always thought they were okay for me but I made the mistake of taking one and not going to bed right away and I have no recollection of what I did for the last half hour before bed. I was just reading my post to Courtney and I cant even remember typing it -- let alone what it said.
Avatar f tn i have been using ambien for many years now. i used the ambien and it's generic form zolpidem. it has always work up until two months ago when apparently the pharmacy changed suppliers. i took the little round purle pill up until then and now i take a white oval one. This one does not seem to be working as well and the side effect just seem wierd Does anyone think that the new manufacturer product is inferior and has anyone experienced this?
1202033 tn?1273771354 So, i have a short script for ambien, to help with my sleeping problems and anxiety. Anyways, i was wondering, when i run out will i have to go through the withdraws again??? Anyone who knows more about this, please do share!!!!
Avatar f tn I have been taking ambien for severe insomnia for about 5 years. I have never needed more than one pill a night. I have never taken more than prescribed but I cannot fall asleep without one pill. I am now pregnant, and i am cutting the pill in half. It is still working for me and I can get a few hours of sleep but IM still concerned that I am addicted to this.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know a capable doctor in Florida who can help someone taper off of Ambien and Xanax - Tampa area?
