ambien

Avatar m tn I was precribed ambien for my sleeping problems and then larter prescribed xanax. So my question is just this.is it a good idea to take an AMBIENCR and a XANAX in the same night before bed?
Avatar m tn Now, several days later, I have reduced the intake of the hydrocodone in the last two days from the 45 mg to 15 mg as the pain hs been subsiding. I brought the ambien back upto 10 mg and I still can barely sleep and again that is partly due to the sling, but i only fall asleep for 2 - 3 hours and then i'm awake again. I feel like a zombie during the day and not tired enough at night. Then, i become anxious that i'm not sleeping.
Avatar m tn Yes, there are different dosages for Xanax and ambien. Ambien is a once at night medication, Xanax is usually one pill three times a day as needed. I don't have experience with klonopin or Zoloft, your MD will know.
Avatar m tn t sound like you have a problem with the meds,do you? Ambien is a pretty strong med (so is xanax/alprazolam) and both are addictive if used improperly so please talk to your doctor about how you are feeling physically after the ambien.
1166402 tn?1303847056 id recomend seeing someone who can teach you how to calm your body down, like deep breathing and excersize a lot so that when you do fall asleep you will be exausted and wont need ambien and wont wake up in the night in a panic. but if u do wake up do to a panic attack dont be afraid it cannot hurt you. all of us in here are going thru the same thing. u have to just relax and fall back asleep. turn the tv on to get your mind off of it or find a way that works best for you.
Avatar f tn Ambien is specifically designed to help you sleep while Xanax can help, it is prescribed for anxiety. Also, remember, that you can build a tolerance up with xanax...If you are still concerned, why not talk with your pharmacist that fills your prescription? They usually have a wealth of knowledge that you can tap into in my opinion. I have used it a couple of times and it worked...just ensure you have a fairly good chunk of time blocked off for sleep. Keep us posted!
Avatar f tn You have the Ambien that will help..maybe just take the Xanax as needed to cut back and give it up soon..Both meds are addicting so please be careful. Good Job on giving up the Trams..I know those w/ds can be just as bad as my Methadone with my 2 other meds..Good Job!!
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 n tn OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!! what are you doing!? don't ever mix ambien with Lorazepam, xanax, zoloft or any of the likes! There are interactions between these drugs Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients.
1995824 tn?1330379049 Hi I am so sorry for your trouble. Can you go back to the doctor who originally prescribed the Xanax? While there is an interaction between xanax and Incivek (which I found out after finishing Incivek) all that it says is that you should modify the dose. Incivek can increase the dose. I can't believe a professional would say you should just stop xanax cold turkey. That is crazy, I am so sorry.
Avatar m tn I was just put on Klonopin and tenorim (beta blocker). I was on ambien and was removed from it because they said it does not mix well with klonopin. Too many downers.
Avatar f tn to take it to get to sleep, but ambien can actaully cause a real addiction which includes mentally and physically addictive. i took it everynight for almost two years along with xanax or any other benzo i could find, along with my DOC's oxycontin or heroin, but the ambien addiction is real and you catn just shake it off, it is simliar to benzo withdrawal whcih can be deadly, but a little miler, but when i say a little, i really mean a little.
1687929 tn?1319426011 I also take xanax so what I do is take my xanax an hour or so before going to bed and take the ambien when I go and lay down. When I was prescribed ambien I tried taking it while still being up and it didn't help me at all. Taking it right when I go to bed seems to help. I sleep a little longer and heavier. Hope this helps a little bit.
541465 tn?1219427886 The clinic should have a card that they can pass out that tells you what medications can put you into withdrawal and what can cause an overdose. I have one at home and I keep it handy. Good luck to you but my opinion would be not to take it.
Avatar f tn I have taken ambien off and on as needed and have had no problems but you shouldnt have to take ambien if you have the klonopin because that in itself often causes drowsiness so it shoulld help you sleep. So to sum up. Take KLONOPIN as prescribed and your wellbutrin as prescribed. Do not take xanax or ambien that is overmedicating and overkill.
Avatar f tn Hey guys, I was takin 40-50 pills of coricidin (the OTC cough med for people with high blood pressure), and cuz i couldnt get them one day I over dosed on xanax and ambien and lyrica. I take Lyrica for my fibromyalgia on a regular basis, was hospitalized and not detoxed medically was not given anything to help with the detox symptoms. Drank last night (10-30-10) 2 drinks and am a WRECK today (Halloween) going to a party tonight and taking my children trick or treating. I'm a mess.
Avatar n tn t know about Ambien but I do know xanax and you need to do a very slow taper with it there is the possibility of seizures if you stop suddenly do you have a doctor you can ask about tapering? xanax w/d is very ugly and last alot longer than opiate w/d you will have anxiety times 100, no sleep shaking panic attacks headache muscle aches depression,the list goes on,nausea,vomiting, potty issues,anger issues,crying for no reaon sensitivity to light sound and touch, go to benzo.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know a capable doctor in Florida who can help someone taper off of Ambien and Xanax - Tampa area?
Avatar f tn He feels that if he is not abusing them (taking more then he is prescribed) then its not harmful. Do you know of anything at all that can help with insomnia....OTHER THEN AMBIEN AND XANAX?
Avatar f tn Thank you for your reply. I'll ask about Ambien.
Avatar f tn oh no problem, and you are not going crazy. Lack of sleep & the wrong medications can make u feel like you are though, trust me, I know! I wish I had more advice about sleep issues, but so far I haven't had much luck myself. I was never diagnosed with a sleep disorder, my sleeplessness is mostly stress related, I think. I didn't have any problem stopping the ambien so I wouldn't worry about it at this point, especially if it is working for you. It just didn't work for me.
Avatar f tn Hello mom and welcome. Heroin and ambien are both central nervous system depressants. Taken together it is very dangerous as they both depress the respiratory and central nervous system. How old is your son? Does he live with you? How long has he been Abusing drugs for?
