604266 tn?1236358985 I relaized the muscle relaxants might help because as soon as I started ambien my pain decreased some. I know ambien and muscle relaxants are not the same but I'm assuming since ambien does relax the body that maybe the MR will too...hopping anyway. She said it will sedate me a bit and I will probably have no need for my ambien. But I hate being sedated and was hopping someone had some expereince with it and could tell me if it just makes you a little sleepy or knowcks you completely out.
Avatar f tn My dad, for example, it taking only one fourth of the low dose of Lipitor and it is working great at bringing his LDL down to 79. Muscle pain is the side effect of statins, but in a smaller lower dose you may not have the pain and it still may work for you. You may also want to take a look at your diet. Red meat, for example, raises LDL levels. I lowered my LDL from approximately 130 to 79 by eliminating red meat for one year (it has now been 13 years since I had beef).
Avatar f tn Thank you for your advice. I had a feeling it could be the ambien but its strange............... because the waking up shaking thing happened to me a few times before I ever started ambien. Not to say that I don't have a LOT of those side effects that your link mentioned. So I'm going to come off gradually by taking one every other night then every 3rd night then not at all. Thank you for your help. I will consider the vitamin B advice and I will look around at Celiac .
Avatar m tn Yes, I've only been on it a week and I experience the muscle aches and bilateral flank pain as well. In addition, insomnia!
Avatar f tn t have any of the side effects that some people report. Hopefully, someone with more experience and information can respond. Take care, dear, you are doing so well!
1246883 tn?1285547973 I immediately started to gain weight. And stopped the Seroquel immediately (mid Dec). I know this is one of the side effects. I gained about 5lbs. Being 5'9" and weighing 135, I felt the 5 extra pounds would come off with eating better and a few more yoga classes . But the weight kept coming. I got down to a dietary intake of about 1000 cals. But that mad no difference.
Avatar n tn Hi, Some newer medications like Zolpidem (Ambien) act more specifically on the same area in the brain and are thought to have fewer side effects. But they are still considered controlled substances. Sleep medications are most effective when used for short term situations. If medications are used over the long term, dependence and tolerance may be a problem. Talk to your doctor if you are not responding to the lower dose of your present medication and discuss what suitable medicine for you.
Avatar f tn This past week, I decided to try cutting cold turkey and let me say the side effects a horrible... MAJOR Anxiety, blurry vision, sweating, muscle tremors. I thought I was going to die, went to the doctor, and he did tests that came back perfect. So the withdrawal from ambien is very real and very scary It was THE WORST and its looks like maybe a week of suffering and then you begin to feel better day by day.
Avatar f tn But for the last yr or more I have been having the flu like symptoms, major body aches mostly in my upper torso, back problems and I have had every test imaginable done to figure out why I am in so much pain everyday. Some days are better than others. I am on cymbalta, lyrica, norco (pain), ambien, and vitamin supplements. I am so frustrated and so is my family because no one seems to be able to tell me what is wrong with me.
Avatar f tn ve stopped taking methimazole 12 days ago because of the strong side effects (hives, joint/muscle pain, dry throat). Though these effects are lessening, I wonder how long it might take for them to be completely gone.
Avatar m tn Both,, zolpidem and temazepam.. zolpidem has a side affect of upper lower torso pain pain like E.R pain. Even if you report this pain to a doc. ? Get off it.
Avatar f tn However, about 3 days ago I started having really bad muscle pain, burning, and aches in my legs. My muscles all over my body will twitch when I am trying to go to sleep. This is really the only w/d symptom I have but why did it just start? Or is this a side effect from the sub?
Avatar f tn ve seen what it does to my mom...anyone not have bad side effects like sleep walking, sleep driving or hillucinating?

Avatar n tn The other common side effects of Ambien are headache, dizziness, mental clouding, daytime drowsiness and allergies. Hence, it is advised you visit your doctor if you are experiencing any such side effects. The drug is considered safe for a period of two to maximum six weeks for the treatment of insomnia. If taken for a longer duration, one may develop dependence on ambien. You should discuss with your doctor about the risks of taking ambient for 2 weeks or longer.
