Avatar n tn I don't know about an overdose, but taking more than you are supposed to can cause sleep walking, but in my case it was sleep driving. It is very dangerous and you should not play around with it. I HATE AMBIEN!!!
86075 tn?1238115091 It would not surprise me if his death will be ruled an accidental drug overdose caused by Ambien. The Ambein may have caused sleepwalking that resulted in taking more meds while actually being asleep. A little time will tell.
Avatar f tn An overdose of Klonopin can be fatal. Overdose symptoms may include extreme drowsiness, confusion, muscle weakness, and fainting. Please call now. Tell me where you are. I'll call for you.
Avatar n tn not enough to even worry about right now, though. Ambien is of course a new sleep aid and the jury is still out. People have amnesia on ambien. They go to sleep, but then wake and do silly/stupid stuff. They have no recollection of this after they awaken. One case went so far as to claim a homicide that the defendant had no memory of. That one did not work. A tolerance and dependance will develop with the zanax if used for a great length of time.
Avatar m tn I took tablets vepridone and ambien 2 months ago, doctors saved my life but now I am having shaky hands, I can't write and I feel extremely uncomfortable all the time. My question is, Is it due to drug withdrawl or it can get permanent side affect. What should I do now? Doctors also gave resperidone and a sleeping tablet for 2 weeks after treatment I was fine while I was using these tablets.
763205 tn?1234422576 I have been taking Ambien/Ambien CR for several years now. I switched from the regular Ambien when the Ambien CR became available. Two nights ago I took my nightly migraine medications and my Ambien CR. I remember being awake for about 45 mins after that and then I remember nothing. Some how I was unconscience when I took 8 more Ambien CR 12.5 mg. I remember nothing after that. I went on a wild rampage in my room and destroyed everything in sight and I do mean everything.
Avatar f tn let me know what you did about ambien withdraw please . I have been taking Ambien nightly for 6 years and worried if I stopped i will get massive night terrors . Wish the best to you and Detox would be the best best for you !

486647 tn?1208785691 Ok I'll be as brief as possible. Been on Ambien (or stilnox as it's known here) for nearly 7 years, I'm up to 100-120 mg a day, since end of last year been waking up in jolts of panic, shaking thru the day with butterflies. Can't eat hardly, feel sick all the time. Last august was in and out of the ER and had tests done for gastric upset all tests were normal then I found out ambien can cause gastric upset.
Avatar f tn Last month I took soma and about 30min to an hour later took ambien. I ended up in the hospital for an accidental overdose because I stopped breathing due to the combination of medications. both meds are CNSD's Central nervous System Depressants. I had the same doctor who wrote my prescriptions and the same pharmacy that filled both and neither one told me about the possible risks.
Avatar m tn Can someone give me either the symptoms or the timeline for an Ibuprofen overdose? And what's going to happen if I don't get treatment? I've taken approx. 40 200mg ibuprofen tablets, 32 hours ago.
Avatar f tn t seem to fine anywhere how long after a lethal amount or a small overdose (such as 1 accidental extra dose) on top of toxicity symptoms would start to show or when death would take place. So my question is when would symptoms begin to show and when would death occur. I don't need exact times but if toxicity showed hours after an over dose and death came days after it would give me a timeline which is all I'm looking for. Thank you.
Avatar f tn If I understand you correctly, he was just taking it as prescribed, not an overdose? It's hard to see how that would have caused his death, unless it was an extreme allergic reaction, which is certainly far from common, as this is one of the most frequently prescribed sleep medications in the world. I've been taking it for years with no ill effects. I'm sorry for the loss of your husband, but there has to be more to the story than this.
Avatar n tn and he writes for Vicodin, and i used to take Ambien and I am no longer allowed to. But i recently had a spinal fusion, and i was left without my medication for day then week to week after the surgery , insurance, or not getting hold of the doctors, or they called into the wrong pharmacy. ( It was a nightmare ) So a friend im me hour of need help me sleep though some of the pain with Ambien.
Avatar f tn Unfortunately, today I find out that his best friend passed away of a heroin overdose, and my boyfriend has no idea. I cannot contact him directly, but I had his mother try to contact his counselor to see what he thought was best for my boyfriends recovery. Does any addict in recovery have any input on a situation like this?
662972 tn?1270166301 potentially lethal, even for tolerant individuals death can occur quite fast without proper medical treatment with narcan.
Avatar f tn Sadly he had recently been doing a detox himself and decided to catch a buzz again ... the shot was too much and he died as a result of an accidental overdose..................
Avatar f tn My family received a final decision on my sisters overdose. Her cause of death was suicide. Why would the corner rule that as she was found hovering over the tolilet trying to trow up all her Roxie's. She was on an all night drinking binge and mixing xanaxes oxies and who knows what else. It's another reminder of addictions ending. This news makes me feel overwhelming sad. Sometimes I feel so lonely now. It's a raw emotion.
558156 tn?1217727396 I take 3 percs every 4 hours...does anyone know the dangers of an overdose? The drugs have made me super paranoid...
Avatar f tn I just tok 700 mg of soma 10mg of ambien and .5 mg of xanax at the same time. ..is this ok?
Avatar f tn when I got klonopin ( several years ago) it was supposed to be for sleep..only!! not during the daytime...!! & I didnt like it...it gave me nightmares...I had been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia....which is apparently something to do with a failure of the central nervous system.....& Ive never been a good sleeper...so the Dr gave me the Klonopin, & after about a month...I switched to Ambien....so far ...so good.....I probably am addicted to it..but who cares...
Avatar m tn there are things they can do to help you early in APAP overdose but not later, the longer you wait the worse it is, google acetaminophen overdose, wikipedia, lots of info, its a horrible death, you start feeling better & think your ok then you get much worse.
