ambien

Avatar m tn Good Afternoon, Like Kat said, it is best to see your doctor for an evaluation. I am only familiar with the Miltary when it comes to most issues, and for sleep you must consult with a psych dr. to preach the whole 'sleep hygeine' theory before they will give you any meds. I am also 24 yr old male, and have had problems with my sleep among other issues.
Avatar n tn re worried about withdrawal from ) - I know xanax valium and klonopin all can work in place of ambien so can benadryl (better off with benadryl if you can but having a backup plan doesn't hurt) If I were you I would stop taking ambien as often as possible if you're still on it , do not consider rehab if you cannot afford it you'll survive I can say this I had some odd problems but I didn't even realize it was withdrawal until I thought about it ( like loss of appetite for
12796163 tn?1436135189 My OB wanted me to take ambien too.
Avatar f tn Has anyone taken ambien or ambien cr while pregnant? If yes, how do you like it and does it keep you asleep throughout the night?
4165941 tn?1353988628 Id call the doc and ask about Tylenol pm bc it just had a recall I'm pretty sure
10515800 tn?1419227034 I feel the same way! I took Tylenol extra strength and Benadryl.. doctor said I could.. but I feel like I'm high.. I feel like a terrible momma..
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 It can be bad, I'd call your doctor, but mine told me to take either benadryl or ambien to help me sleep if I needed it, I've taken a single benadryl twice since about 37 weeks (now almost 40) and it has helped regulate my sleep schedule
9055982 tn?1414980421 I am a pharmacy tech and unless it is medically necessary you should not be taking it while pregnant. You can take benadryl though, that should put you right to sleep. Ambien can pass through the placenta and cause respiratory problems for baby...
1737879 tn?1386202314 I tried taking 3 Benadryl the other night and nothing. before I started ambien 2 Benadryl would knock me out cold. That was also before I knew about the stage 3c ovarian cancer.
Avatar f tn I take benadryl if I need help sleeping. 50mg at night does the trick. Im not sure how safe ambien is while prego, but I know benadryl is safe!
Avatar f tn I have to work this morning at 7 and I could not fall asleep. I took 25 mg of benadryl at 8, one more at 9 and finally when I couldn't sleep by 11 I took 2 more! What a night! I feel asleep sometime after that. I am 11 weeks pregnant and I have major insomnia, especially if I know I have to work the next morning. I am scared to death now thats its morning that I may have done something to the baby because of taking 100 mg to get to sleep.
Avatar f tn Have you tried also taking Tylenol before bedtime, to keep the pain from waking you up? I tried Ambien and Ambien CR, I sleep well with it but it gives me horrible day-long headaches the next day so I've stopped taking it. I take a Clonazepam and a Benadryl before bed, Tylenol too if I think I need it, and sleep pretty well most of the time. Lately the dreams have been wild, though!
Avatar m tn 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.
480448 tn?1426948538 ..FDA Says Ambien Dosage is to Be Lowered for Women ..By Vanessa Evans .PostsWebsite .By Vanessa Evans | Yahoo! Contributor Network – 20 hrs ago....Email0Share0 Share0Print......The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a statement on Thursday revealing its decision to require that the makers of zolpidem, a common sleep aid drug, reduce the dosage that is given to patients, particularly women.
Avatar f tn Has tried ambien, then ambien with tylenol pm (for the benadryl), then ambien with just benadryl, then trazadone 50mg, and now temazepam 15mg. Nothing works. He falls a sleep for an hour or so, and that's it. He's an absolute wreck. Have any of you had severe sleeping problems? Anything work?? It's hard enough dealing with tx, but add no sleep, and it's just impossible... Thanks for any suggestions you can give.
Avatar f tn Of course if you were addicted to drugs at any time, benzos are not a good idea. Many patients take ambien. I found that plain old benadryl worked for me.
Avatar f tn Call your doctor! There is an adjustment period for Lexapro, but this sounds like it's more than that. It may not be the right medication for you. Xanax will relax you, but I wouldn't add Benadryl to the Ambien. Talk to your doctor and make sure he realizes how bad this is for you. I hope you feel better, and let us know what he advises you to do.
Avatar f tn I want to quit taking xanax and ambien. I have been on both for a few years. I also take Subxone. I take 12.5 mg of ambien and .5mg of xanax 2 or 3 times per day. Can I quit cold turkey without? I have heard xanax withdrawal can cause seizures,, but am not sure if my dose is high enough to worry about that.
Avatar f tn I sometimes have a hard time going to sleep during the day. My last pregnancy I took Ambien but want to avoid it this pregnancy. As i became too dependent on it and baby didn't move much due to taking it. He also came a month early. I dont think it was because of Ambien but i just dont wanna take that chance again. A friend told me melatonin is all natural and i should try that. Has anyone taken it while pregnant. Im 13 weeks if that makes a difference.
Avatar m tn From what Ive been told, Tylenol (Acetaminophen) is one of the worst things you can take when it comes to your liver. Im pretty sure the Rx drugs Ambien and Lunesta are both easier on the liver. The only downside of course being they are quite habit-forming.

I was also given ambien a few years ago, and i've been on 10 mg for about 4 years and also 10 mg of lexipro and .50 of xanax. i ran out of xanax and ambien last week, ive had difficulty falling asleep.
Avatar m tn I take 10 mg of Ambien Sun-Thurs, is it okay for me to take 2 Tylenol PMs on Fri & Sat nights?
