I went home and took half, waited 2 hours to see how I was feeling and took 2 mg more then another 2mgs 6 hours later. When I went back the next day he was surprised I only needed half of what he thought I would. Worked out great, saved me doc visits. I went back one other time to get 4 more pills. In 10 days I only needed about 6 pills I think so 17 should be enough for a detox. Best of Luck to you.

I started with 0.5mg of Lorazepam about 5 years ago. It worked so well that I was getting 6 to 7 hours of restful sleep every time I took the medication. No hangover other ill effects, ever. I worked up my dosage to 3 mg nightly and suddenly in early September 2010, it stopped working. Taking a higher dosage made things actually worse. I just couldn't fall sleep anymore. I would lay in bed with my eyes closed but wide awake. Little did I know about Lorazepam withdrawal!
Thank you so much, That's what I did today, I called the doc and he called in the 6.25 Ambien and 10mg Valium, but still I was up all night, just got 2 hours ago (after only 3 hours ago) and took a 10mg Valium and a 6.25 Ambien, and SURE enough, my dizzyness is fading. I can't believe that they Advertise that these new "non - habit forming sleep aid" and "non increse indepent" etcc.. WHAT A LIE! To me. those Hypnotics, are FAR WORSE than Benzo's.
before and the highest dose I saw given was a total of 12mg. So if the tab was 6mg then the patient could take 2. Taking 2 10mg of ambien seems a little high to me.Maybe someone else could answer better than me. I am one of those people that ambien doesn't work. I have tried Ambien cr, Lunesta (sp?) and regular Ambien and still couldn't get any sleep. I don't know if you have heard of it but there is an over the counter sleep medication called Sleep MD.
some docs want to start at 16 or higher and that is just crazy... I detoxed with Sub in 10 days started at 6mgs.. On day two I did need one extra mgs and the doc said that was normal.. as the old drugs are leaving the system most people need a little more on the second day.. He should be able to start cutting back on day 3 or 4.. after that tapering is easy since the half life is so long.. Did the doc give him clonidine for after the taper?? If not ask for it.
Also, with Elavil, there is a large area for adjustment in dosage. It is not uncommon for outpatient individuals to be up to 50 - 100mg doses. 10mg and 25mg may not be enough to put you to sleep. I find that I still have problems initiating sleep but I eventually do sleep now where in the past I wouldn't sleep at all. I'll keep you posted if I get bumped up on dosage to let you know if it knocks me out.
25 mg three times a day for two weeks, then .25 mg twice a day for two weeks and then .25 mg once a day and then tell him how i am doing. I am a little nervous, because my body is so use to the xanax. if i miss a dose, i feel literally out of it. my body shakes...it's scary...i have severe panic disorder, but i feel i'm at the point where the xanax is doing me worse than better. i am hoping this tapering problem helps...i am scared of withdrawal symptoms...
I stopped attivan 2mg and caffeine 200mg on december 1st. I stopped buspar 5mg and lunesta 3mg on December 2nd. I got on Valium 30mg on December 8th I found a psychiatrist who agreed to put me on the Ashton Method Taper and stopped klonopin 2mg on december 15th. I stopped ambien on december 16th. I started exercising, walking two miles per day on a treadmill, on december 18th.
I had a question for you folks. Do your symptoms come and go or are they worse at a certain time? Im hashis and I feel pretty good usually in the morning, early afternoon. But around 3 pm I get these horrible waves that I can only describe to the gentleman as when you were a kid and you were hit in the "privates" by a ball. Dizzy, sweaty, shaky, heart palps, irritable. Then as the 5-6 oclock hour come on, the symptoms seem to get a little bit better. By bedtime they are gone.
provigil (100 mg moring) Trazodone (50 mg evening) meds: past 6 months: bupropion (300 mg daily) zoloft Again, all tests have returned normal. Sleep study pending. Thanks for any help!
My husband, who is very sensitive to Ambien, and took an occasiona 2.5 mg to sleep, had to up his dosage to 10mg during the INC portion of his treatment (upon doctor's advice, of course) Now he's down to about 5 mg. which works fine. The other recommendation I would have is to move your 2nd dose of riba earlier in the afternoon. I don't know what time you're taking it, but that definitely can affect sleep. Hope this helps!
It is still a benzodiazepene but the weakest one on the market, and 10 milligrams is not a very heavy dosage. I take ten also but there have been some stressfull and anxiety fillled days that i have had to take 15 or 20. but that is far and few in between. Yeah the ambien can catch a lot of people off guard, Lunesta and all those sleep aids carry a risk of dependency. I too will stay on the Valium until i finally make it off of the percs.
He usually takes 25mg but if he is really having a problem he will take 50mg. He says at 50mg he wakes up with a "hangover" that he calls being "Trazzed out" but it does work for him.
People who live the longest sleep 7 hours per night, not eight, so don’t worry about getting 8 hours of sleep. Most people need between 6 and 8 hours of sleep to function effectively during the day. 2.Get out of bed within a half hour of the same time every day, including weekends, no matter how little or poorly you have slept. 3.Reduce your time in bed so that it more closely matches the amount of sleep you average each night. 4.Use the bedroom for sleep and sexual activity only. 5.
Stopping those forms of meds after long periods of use result in withdrawal symptoms that can be very serious and dangerous, but as long as one tapers down off the medication they will not encounter WDs. As far as your dosage goes at 50mgs that is a pretty small dose and usually the standard at which they start you at when usuing Elavil as a sleep aid. It also can help mildly in some of the chronic pain many people suffer.
Try taking 1000mg of calcium after dinner. Calcium should be accompanied with 300mg or more of magnesium. You might want to find calcuim in a capsule rather than a tablet, or take any brand of coral calcium as long as it is in a capsule and accompanied with magnesium (vitamin D is an added bonus if you can find one). Capsules dissolve in the stomach more completely than tablets, which is good especially since you are taking them in the evening.
tell ya what...you keep your 2mm stone right where it is and I'll keep mine ...LOL I dont think either one of us needs THAT little explosion right now. sheeeesh.....Just thinking about kidney stones makes me want to go drink a gallon of water!!
Initial dose is a standard of 150mg, never to exceed 600mg in outpatient use. Trazadone is an antidepressant, I found that hypnotics, like lunesta, worked better for methadone insomnia. And those would only work for 4-6 hours for one night. I felt like I built an instant tolerance to any sleep aid. I had to go without sleep for 3 days to try it again. I tried Tylenol PM, melatonin, etc.., but the hypnotics where the only thing that put me in a state or unconsciousness.
NOW, I am currently taking 3mg of Lunesta, and my dose of 7.5 Hydrocodone has increased to 6-8 a day, and that is causing some urine problems, and anxiety - so now I am taking about 17-25 (10mg Valium) A DAY, to counteract what I'm experiencing. So, last week I looked at the whole situation, and told myself, I'm not going to let my life fade away from me again on these stupid Hell Bound perscription drugs again! So, last week I said THAT'S IT, and I dropped the bottle of 7.5 7.
Ultram 100 mg ER (once a day extended release) is best, because you can't over-use it. It also comes in 50mg tabs (you can take 50-100 mg every 4-6 hrs for pain) 3. Clonidine (Catapres) 0.1 mg (this is going to keep your blood pressure down, and kinda "settle" you. 4. A muscle relaxer (optional) I used a mild one (Skelaxin Rx only) since I was also using the Valium. 5. Ask the Dr. About Cymbalta if you are not already on a antidepressant.
my son now takes 100mg seroquel and 50mg trazodone at bed time, he sleeps all night and wakes up good in the morning and not tired all day, in the morning he takes 50mg zoloft and half tablet of klonopin (the whole tablet is 0.5mg), and does fine all day, I am having a second opinion on in November, plus a physical.
I tried the over the counter stuff but none of them worked. I finally went to my doctor and got a prescription for Lunesta. Worked like a charm. They are strong though, I cut them in half and they still worked great.
I went on it to help with w/d from being over medicated on fentenyl patches by a crazy pain specialist. After I got to 4 mg I had to stay 6 days and am trying to cut dose today. It has been hard. The anxiety is awful, but I do have something to take. I usually let it get bad before I take it. I take lunesta to help me sleep. It works. I been taking them on and off for years. I wake up feeling bad every morning. I'm always nauseated.
He named this a benign fasciculation if memory serves, and prescribed 10mg ambien. I also have had night time peripheral neuropathies in hands and more prominently in feet- I call this "fire ant " feet :) And for quite some time since the thyroid diagnosis, I have awakened with this upsetting feeling of adrenaline rush, sense of "dread", wired/tired, shakiness, just a bad way to waken every day. This seems always to abate when I get up and move about getting ready for work.
I wouldn't recommend xanax or cholonopin (sp) as I've been on both but the xanax is 3 years now and I didn't realize the dosage was so high. 3 mg per day - that's crazy.
Odansatron maybe 6 times. Vistaril for itching-didn't work so good.
Try 2000 mg, and scale up or down, depending on how you feel. You can take up to 4,000 mg. Take the L-Tyrosine* with B6 to help absorption. Wait about one hour before eating breakfast. The L-Tyrosine* will give you a surge of physical and mental energy that will help counteract the malaise. You may continue to take it each morning for as long as it helps. If you find it gives you the "coffee jitters," consider lowering the dosage or discontinuing it altogether.
I was in an extremely emotionally abusive relationship and started taking OTC sleep aids, just so I wouldn't have to deal with the situation. I quickly built up a tolerance to 2 pills, went to 4, 6, 8..... I'm now on Seroquel (200mg/night) and find that that puts me to sleep within the hour... if I'm having an especially rough stressful day and am not getting drowsy by that alone, then I take an ambien.... but otherwise, the Seroquel seems to work just fine... but it does make me nervous.....
