Common Questions and Answers about Can i take lunesta and zoloft

lunesta

Avatar m tn As needed or regularly? I personally would be scared to take Klonopin and Lunesta together. Have you done it yet? Is the Lunesta just for once in awhile?
1008841 tn?1293598960 I've been taking ambian off and on for years. It's beginning not to work. But, everytime I ask the doctors for something else to help me sleep or something for anziety. They give me antidepressants. I don't want antidepressants. I almost died from antidepressants. I took Zoloft for years. Until they came up with Cembolta(SP). It sounded perfect. I asked the Doctor switch me. She did. I almost died. I didn't go back on Zoloft, and guess what I felt better.
Avatar f tn ve had insomnia. But when I take it in the morning I feel sluggish for at least a couple hours and feel Ike I need a nap. I'm only on 25mg now but my doc said I may need to up my dose for full effect. She also prescribed lunesta which did help me fall asleep but I only sleep for like 3/4 hours then I can't go back to sleep! Which also makes me tired. She suggested splitting the dose. 25mg in the morning and 25mg at lunch has anyone done this?! Or would maybe lunch and dinner be better?!?
Avatar m tn i take it in the afternoon....i just got lunesta to take for the insomnia and that really doesn't work and I also just switched to klonopin from xanax....
Avatar m tn The opana does the same thing as the fentanyl - - keep those as far apart as you can. Dont mix the lunesta and the diazepam in too close a dose. They will also mirror each others affects. Sounds like Doc Jeff could help a little more if he knew how many of what and at what times he takes them. You have a couple that are used for pain and a couple along the nerve pill line. Its either being dosed improperly or the doses are accumulating and causing a problem for him.

1538831 tn?1294199202 So hopefully after this bad anxiety passes like it always does, i can get back to just taking zoloft.
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.
Avatar f tn These generally peter out as your body adjusts to the Zoloft and may go away completely. This can take 6 or so weeks to work through. And the drug is fully effective at around 6 to 8 weeks. So, giving it time to do that is best to give it a proper chance to help you. Sleep issues are a common transient side effect when starting Zoloft. You can ask your doctor and sometimes they switch the time of day you take it (morning to night or vice versa). Hang in there, this should get better.
Avatar n tn I feel groggy all day and very frustrated and i cannot think straight at all. I have noticed though when i take it i feel veyr very nauseas. Its hard eat because of the nausea. Has anyone else experience nausea with Ambien? I dont know why it is making me nausea. My doc then perscribed lunesta 3mg. Has anyone tried lunesta and experienced better sleep with it? I am afraid of trying lunesta because i dont want to feel so nausea again. I didn't take any sleep med last night...
2021910 tn?1339896686 I know u can take tylenol pm when.ur pregnant but I'm not 100%sure when.it comes.to.lunesta. all u can really do is call ur Dr and ask.
Avatar n tn 30 and another 5mg at 3:00 or whenever I awake. The Lunesta usually allows for 6-7 hours of continuous sleep. The initial sedating effects of the Remeron lasted anly about 2 weeks but in combination with either one of the hypnotics, it seems to be helping, now 9 months later So, the questions I have are: Do any others take Remeron with one of the above mentioned hypnotics? Can this medication combo be continued on a long term basis?
Avatar f tn Can I take 40mg or over if Lexapro? Was on 40mg. One Dr put me back to 30mg but not working so started on Zoloft 75mg. Now weight can and I’m an emotional wreck. What. Anni do?
Avatar f tn Sorry this is so long. Background- I was do with ADD as a child, I was on 5 mg then later on 10mg Ritalin, Ritalin XR when it first came available until about 5 yrs ago when it seemed not to work as well. The Pdoc wanted to try Addrell 10mg, the 15mg 2x day.
Avatar n tn i am on lunesta, i take a break every now and then, but the doc said it was ok.
Avatar n tn I would not get your hopes with the Ambien I had Ambien and valium I used both for a week and still lost allot of sleep. Sleep deprivation is part of the ride. With time sleep will come bit by bit. I still wake up earlier than I want but my sleep I get is good sleep. Give your body some time to heal it has been through allot with using. I think by this weekend you will feel much better. After day 4 it only gets better.
Avatar m tn I think the biggest side effect that you might have will be insomnia. I used to take Lunesta and when I stopped I didn't sleep for a week. On a positive note,,,COngrats on 20days!!!
937868 tn?1570328281 m working hard in my PHP program and i feel everything is so slow and difficult to overcome , i wish i can move faster and get better for myself and my family. Thanks.
Avatar m tn 1.25 is a bit high of a dose to jump, but doable. I found lunesta worked one night, then I had to wait a few nights to take it again. I rotated lunesta, melatonin, and St, John's Wart to keep my tolerance of any one down. Nothing seemed to help for days 5-14 or so, just had to read all night and stretch a lot. I never liked Soma, so no advice on that, accept use them sparingly. Your brain and body can only detox on subs stance at a time, so if you take nothing you will heal faster.
Avatar n tn I never tried remeron, but ambien was horrible and so was resterol the taste of the lunesta that it leaves in your mouth is horrible so there is no easy answer but I did find the ativan did help for a while and I still take it with the lunesta and I agree if I get a good nights sleep the next day is much better.
1329847 tn?1275172734 But to be honest this feeling is starting to take over me and i feel like i have no other choice but to try something ya know? all i know and all i hear from all the support is ANXIETY causes so much kaos in your body, so because im me and i understand completely what your going through, i say give the medication a try! the pharmacist and my doctor said i should notice "something" by the 3rd day on zoloft, so after a week, if my body aint liking it, my plan is to call my doctor asap!
Avatar m tn this is just my experience, and I'm not on tx yet...I can't take Lunesta and ambien, ambien makes me feel nutzo the next morning, but many people are fine with it...I take ativan if I have had a lot of sleepless nights in a row, and at a very low dose...I find tranquilizers lull me into sleep, which I prefer...best of luck...
266660 tn?1189755834 ) I was prescribed Klonopin for anxiety and sleep and she said to not take it with Lunesta (this is after I asked *her*, she didn't mention it until then.) The Klonopin seems to work as well as the Lunesta, BTW. Kevin, I've read that Lunesta and Ambien are the same "types" of sleep aids but that is all I know. I hope Ryan can clear this up for us.
