ambien with adderall

After a while it started to lose its effectiveness, and got to the point where its side effects outweighed its benefits and so I was switched to ambien. I did great with ambien, but my insurance limits it...so for the time I was allowed, I split the dose and even slept well with 5mg....now that's no longer an option because of my insurance, so my doctor put me on temazepam 30mg, but it simply doesn't do anything for me.

I might be able to suggest a few things, but first I need to know what you have been diagnosed with. Do you have depression, bipolar disorder, or what? As for the adderall, can you tell me what side effects you previously experienced (anxiety, weight loss, insomnia, headache, etc)?

They say adderall causes insomnia... Its obvious, adderall is a legal form of speed. Most would say adderall is the last thing a restless person would or should take. However, at this point i see no other choice. here is my rational. --Because I cannot sleep, I lose the ability to focus in class. Because I can't focus, I don't learn as much as I can during class time.

I'm only about 5-6 weeks I'm on prescribed adderall 40mg daily and Ambien 10mg at bedtime. Has anyone been on these medications while being pregnant? I'm very concerned about my baby being affected. My doctors says it's ok to continue taking these medications......

It is amazing to me that a doctor who specializes in addiction would put me on adderall. What is the matter with these doctors? How did he imagine I would use it, since he knew I'm an addict? That I would use it properly? HAH! But now it's not so funny. I pray I make it through this.

00pm. After two weeks on this med and dose I found myself trying to take 2 at once to see if it would work since I felt absolutely nothing taking 1 10mg tablet twice during the day. I swear I do not abuse medication but whether my body can't absorb medication or I'm just defective I know that most people on the shear amount of different meds I take daily and then the dosages, it should be obvious that I'm highly medicated. But I'm not at all.

I think that with the help from your Doctor it would be a better idea to slowly wean off the Ambien, it possibly doesnt mix too well with adderal which is another med known to have side effects ..Speak to you Doctor before you do anything.

t tell you how much it means to hear from people I feel so alone in this effort to save my life,if you will. I took klonipine mostly at night to help me sleep with ambien. .5mg of klonipine....1 or 2 times during day for anxiety. My doc has since put me on 1mg of lorazapam 3x a day,and abilify 5mg a day. Its been what 4 weeks now, and I still feel so sad all the time, not to mention the pain in my back and joints. I am blessed to be getting help from a nutritionist who is a friend of a friend.

Maybe stop the lexapro first then stop the adderal and last work on the ambien. Most likely the ambien is only required because you take adderal but for each drug you need a slow tapper down plan to minimuze the withdrawal effects.

I was under the impression that Ambien was something that was used to help with withdrawal symptoms. I have been using Ambien for over 4 years almost daily, Xanax only 2, I've had sleep issues my whole life and probably will the rest of my life but if I can sleep I feel like I can heal from anything. My pain doctor had put me on Gabapentin at one time for the pain, I don't know if they'll want to try that again or not. At this point, I'm scared to try anything.

At first I took it every day for 5 weeks. Then I stopped with no problems. There were times after when I would take one and then go weeks without it and never had any trouble. I take one 300mg tablet at night before bed and it last 24 hours. 3 weeks ago my doctor but me on 50mg Vyvanse for ADD which didn't work causing withdrawal so he switched me to 20mg Adderall which also didn't work so he stopped me cold turkey.

Back in August I went to treatment for 100 mg of adderall, 10 klonapin and 7 ambien a day. They detoxed me off of everything but one klonapin in 28 days. I was on the one klonpain for the next 2 months. I finally got off of it and went crazy. I was not able to sleep and I relapsed. Went to the hospital and got ambien and they gave me one ativan. I am back in treatment and I have not been sleeping and just have been feeling overall off balance. They put me on 100 mg of seroquel.

- Adderall 60 mg - Wellbutrin 450mg - Clomipramine 250mg - Ambien 10mg - Clonazepam 2mg - Testosterone I feel like I am in mental fog. I have been on these meds for a while. I am afraid if I mention to doc, he will cut me off. Should I just check into hospital?

old post, but here we go. I've been dx'd with ADHD and well i take adderall xr too. i've never noticed my pupils getting big...i'm sure they do. but no one can tell no one is staring at how big you pupils are every time they see you unless they know about the whole "she's taking adderall which is a drug that makes you high and pupils big." I take it, and it just relaxes me and helps me focus on one thing at a time.

If you're saying the Effexor was working well for your depression but isn't anymore, it may be it's tapped out -- these drugs do poop out on many people. The only solution for that is to change meds. (if you do that, do it very slowly, as slowly as you need to).

This is not uncommon, I have this problem as well. The question is can you live with the extra anxiety if the adderall is really helping you? The problem with taking an upper (adderall) and a downer (ativan) together is that they will counter act against each other and neither one will be as effective in your system. You said that you were just diagnosed? Is this your first add medication? You may want to consider trying a different one if the adderall continues to give you problems.

Are you currently taking all of the above meds. or just the Ambien? I have no experience with it, sorry. I do hear that it can be abused because as you stated, you have to take more to get the sleepy effect and you may not use it every night right now, but that is also another addiction factor, you "need" to take it or else you can not sleep. As I stated, I have never used it, but this is just what I have heard and read about it.

ve been reading a whole lot over the weekend and hope to attmept to address my ADD more with diet and less with the drug but I will say adderall has opened my eyes to the possibilities for me.

It made me fell terrible. Also Ithink the plain adderall works better than Adderall XR. I have better control over the regular Adderall than theXR. If I don't feel like I need my afternoon dose, I dpon't take it. I was on 30mg XRs and they kept me up all night and ther is nothing you can do about it unless you have a sedative of some sort like Xanax or Ambien. Dexidrene works ok ,but it has a sharp crash to it and the Adderall just kind of wears off.

Go to sleep with migraine and wake up with one. Since I tried adderall, I can hardly remember those heavy duty migraines! It works great for my hypertensives. But I just moved to a different state, and doctor doesn't believe that adderall can be helping. How can I be tested for ADHD and get the prescription that works for me? Thanks for help.

Adderall should relax people with ADD. It relaxes me. She's basically using (abusing?) speed and dumped her boyfriend for no reason, possibly because her endorphines were flowing like crazy and she thought she didn't need him. She might have a tough time getting off it and crash hard. Plus when she gets offensve about her meds, that's a possible indication of drug abuse. Does her doctor know she also drinks every day? This is not a good recipe.

t taken any in about 2 weeks. I want to drop the Adderall too and I have cut the dosage down by half. Going off of them all has put me in a tail-spin I can't control. I stay at home with my 2 year old and 10 year old. I cannot handle the stress. I am taking all of the vitamins and minerals as in the articles. The stress of my situation and the insomnia are enough to drive me nuts. Anyone have any advice? I think that without these two things, I would get my energy back.

Also, he is currently on Effexor and Ambien but now was given Xanax & Klonopin to help w/ anxiety due to his losing his job. The Adderall is for his ADHD which he has as well as myself & my son. I take most of the same drugs as he does hence his ability to always steal from me but as you can imagine i don't abuse them so it's not fair that I have to hide them or feel guilty for having them.

I have noticed for myself as far as the remron goes it does drag in to the next day, but as again with the adderall it helps me with my mood and depresion in the mornings. but thats just for me I can't speak for anyone else. I hope the best for you and that you find something that works.

what is the effect on depression when combining alcohol with prozac and adderall

NO!!! you are still 16 days.....just be very carefull with the ambiem.... congrats on 16 days!!!

How many pills did you take after going back and counting the tablets? It's not uncommon for people who take ambien or Ambien Cr to not remember doing something. They fall asleep and don't know they're sleeping, so the end up taking more pills because they don't remember taking the 1st one and the cycle keeps on going. I've heard horror stories of people racking up credit cards, diving and cooking while on Ambien.
