ambien

1246883 tn?1285547973 I immediately started to gain weight. And stopped the Seroquel immediately (mid Dec). I know this is one of the side effects. I gained about 5lbs. Being 5'9" and weighing 135, I felt the 5 extra pounds would come off with eating better and a few more yoga classes . But the weight kept coming. I got down to a dietary intake of about 1000 cals. But that mad no difference.
Avatar m tn More common side effects include dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue and delirium... and in rare cases, seizure. Could the reason I am having these strange feeling and light-headedness be because the the Zolpidem which put me to sleep be out of the equation? I did feel the light headed feeling when I was also on Zolpidem but the Zolpidem did put me out to sleep.

18070169 tn?1463175914 At this time I was also taking zolpidem every night. I read some stuff on zolpidem side effects and it appeared that after my surgery some of the rare side effects started cropping up. I attributed my anxiety to that. So I quit the zolpidem ct (which I probably shouldn't have) and did have a miserable few weeks, but a lot of the pains I was feeling went away. Of course new pains showed up like a back ache, which I still have.
Avatar m tn Also are there long term effects of zolpidem? I was instructed in class that zolpidem should only be given for short term around a month. My only other medical issue is mild-moderate tourettes that is managed well.
Avatar f tn There is lot of mixed reaction from the users of Zolpidem to help sleep, it has done wonders in few people while few are not satisfied with its use or the side effects of the drug and its dependence. Ambien is meant for short-term use and not for years. I would like to suggest you to consult a sleep doctor and discuss the other options for alternate drugs. Take care and share your thoughts.
491910 tn?1209366193 Its hypnotic effects are similar to those of the benzodiazepine class of drugs, but it is molecularly distinct from the classical benzodiazepine molecule and is actually classified as an imidazopyridine. Flumazenil, a benzodiazepine receptor antagonist, which is used for benzodiazepine overdose, can also reverse zolpidem's sedative/hypnotic effects.
Avatar m tn One thing I cannot find is actual statistics stating how many people actually experience these side effects. 1in 5? 1in 10? Anyone know?? Thanks!!
480448 tn?1426948538 Things like benadryl and ibuprofen are taken without thought. They can either compound side effects of the prescribed drug and some have issues all their own. Warnings don't sound like a bad idea.
Avatar m tn Diphenhydramine will mess up your prostate long before it effects your liver. If zolpidem by itself doesn't work, you could try adding melatonin.
484759 tn?1208573669 m experiences most of the listed pysical side effects (dilated pupils, nausea for most of the day, dizzyness, some restlessness etc.), but mentally I feel like I'm alive again and don't want to give up this medication at all. I have corrected the dosage as of today (1 x 50mg/day for the remaining of the 14 days and then increase to 1 x 100mg/day).
Avatar f tn It depends on a number of factors; the dose, the length of time on the medications; and the way that you stopped. If you only have mild symtpoms like you described,they should be all gone by the end of a week.
Avatar n tn My daughter is having horrible side effects with her Zolpidem. She is suffering from post tramatic stress and has very real nightmares. It takes several hours for her realize they are dreams. She is sleep/wake having conversations she doesnt remember and and having conversations with us that did not happen, Sleep walking, cleaning.... Is this common and should Ambien be prescribed to teens with PTS?
Avatar f tn what would the side effects be if a person took 40, 30mg adderall xr. how long do the side effects last?
Avatar f tn If any of the following serious side effects occur, stop giving Soloxine and seek emergency veterinary medical attention; an allergic reaction (swelling of the lips, face, or tongue; difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; or hives). Call your veterinarian if your pet develops any of these serious side effects; sleep problems; personality changes; fever; appetite changes, weight changes. Less serious side effects may be more likely to occur.
486647 tn?1208785691 I take 14 stilnox tablets a day for a year. that's 140mg a day. I have had no adverse reactions or side effects. i want to get off them completely but have no idea what to expect.
Avatar n tn Abuse is more prevalent in those who have been dependent on other drugs, tobacco, or alcohol in the past. Zolpidem effects can increase and intensify if mixed with other substances like alcohol and cannabis. With regular use at high dosage, there can be a risk of a severe physical dependence on zolpidem or you can have psychological dependency on that drug. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zolpidem You can work with a specialist in memory for your short term memory loss.
1336711 tn?1275725436 Umm if your doctor was a good doctor he should let you try other options if you can't handle the side effects from your medicine and feel that way.
Avatar n tn Was this his first dose of the day ? I dont think it will harm him but as a precaution call the Doctor;s office and ask them ...
