can you take ambien and xanax together

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!!

THen your on Ambien and still up....

t know much about klonopin, but I was prescribed Xanax and ambien for sleep, after suffering from anxiety/emotional turmoil. I was specifically told by my GP that you can take Xanax and ambien at the same time. One is a benzo and the other is a hypnotic.

When did you take the last alprazolam? Real concerned about you now...

I feel for you. Hopefully you found an alternative to the Xanax for anxiety if that is the issue. Managing pain and the issues of anxiety or depression is so hard and I'm sorry you have been going through this. I'm here to talk to you if you need it. sending you hugs.

I have been taking Ambien 10 mg per evening for years and in take xanax only sparingly. Recently, i've had rotator cuff surgery. I was prescribed hydrocodone 7.5 mg every four hours. I decided to reduce the ambien to 5 mg due to the interaction. I found it virtually impossible to sleep in a recliner as they have suggested (due to the sling).and then began taking 7.5 mg.

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.

I am also prescribed ambien. 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.

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!

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.

I was wondering if anyone has tried the Ambien/Xanax combo at night for sleep because that was offered to me. Do you find that Xanax is stronger than Librium? Does anyone think I should try the two together? The only problem is I would problem need like 2 mgs of the Xanax because of my bodies' tolerance to this stuff. Looooong history.

In the prescribing information for Incivek, it says that exposure to Alprazolam (Xanax) can be increased when taken with Incivek. If I recall correctly, it doesn't say that you can't take Xanax, it just says that the effects of Xanax might increase. My understanding of this would be that you may have needed to decrease your Xanax, but not withdraw it completely. Of course I'm not a doctor, so I might not be interpreting this correctly.

Can you please tell me if you can take Nexium 40mg. and Zantac 75mg. together or on the same day. My GI doctor has me on Nexium 40mg. and my PCP wants me to take Zantac 75mg. at night before I go to bed. Is it safe, and can I take it with Xanax 1mg. I have GERDS and Barrett's Esophagus. And they both think it mjght be causing these little pinpoint pimples in my mouth, tongue, and throat.

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.

I was just diagnosed with an autoammune disease and don't want to take plaquenil just yet. Doctor said to take celebrex and a muscle relaxer. I have been taking 1 mg of xanax for 3 weeks and before that it was about twice a week as needed. I was having such anxiety and sleep issues rhemy said to take it every day. Now 3 weeks later she wants to try the new coctail of celebrex and muscle relaxer.

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...

s too much, then it probably is. Are you considering getting off of these meds? The vicodin and ambien can be stopped all together as long as you don't have any underlying health conditions. The valium and ativan must be tapered very slow and under a doctors care. There are risks involved if one tries to stop those all at once. Can you go to your doctor and have him advise you of how to taper off of these meds? It is much safer having a doctor monitoring during the detox process.

I agree about asking either your pharmacist or doctor this question. I take a prescription sleep aid and have been on antibiotics in that past and have been able to take both, but I've not been on Cipro and it may also depend on the particular sleep aid you are taking. Many medications, over the counter, herbal, or prescription, can interact badly with some others, so PLEASE ALWAYS check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking things together.

if it going to make me sleepy I dont see where it will help me. I can stop taking the ambien and take the lexapro for sleep but what do I need to take to get over this little anxiey hump?

I just rather you be safe than sorry. Take care and good luck. The symptoms usually go away in 1 to 2 months.

Hi, As another 'nocturnal' person I can relate. I also use Ambien and Xanax (not together!). The Ambien will give me exactly 3 hours of sleep (sometimes it doesn't work) but it seems to be a fairly good quality of sleep. The xanax makes it easier for me to fall back asleep after I wake up but the sleep quality does not seem to be as good. Also, I am drowsy and groggy in the morning.

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?

Like you, I didn't think I could do the hydrocodone and ambien. I'm trying to tapper off the ambien also. I was on 10mg. how much did you reduce it and for how long? Thank you for your post.
