Common Questions and Answers about Ambien and metabolism

ambien

Avatar n tn is there a contraindication between ambien and melatonin?
Avatar m tn you should look up the prescribing information online and check out the metabolism excretion section of the document. If Ambien is metabolized via the liver which would be hepatically (like tylenol) then there may be something to your thought.
Avatar m tn no stress or exercise for a few hours before bedtime, a relaxing read, a hot rice bag on your neck/shoulders, calcium/magnesium at night, melatonin works for some...also...getting the house temp at sub zero slows your metabolism and helps you sleep, bundle up...
209656 tn?1272297065 5 mg some hae problems with ambien tho and they dont work for those with a benzo tolerence as they arent as strong....5htp and valerian root, gaga all helped me....neurontin that i take for my back helped as well...i am usually not compliant with it as it makes me tired but came in handy then...phenergan for nausea also helps people sleep...cold temps in the house with lots of blankets can slow ur metabolism as well....dark room and ear plug as well...i exercised during the day and that helps.
Avatar f tn I am so grateful for Dr. Sherr's articles! They were so helpful in explaining some of what was going on inside my body. The Bell's Palsy of the Gut was very eye opening for me. I have definitely had the sensitivity issue.
Avatar n tn Ambien will help you get some sleep so yes I would say it is good. I worked for a Dr. 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.
486919 tn?1280184140 Hello, I'm having problems with my metabolism. I'm a very big man, over 300 lbs, but very active. Most people can't believe how much i weigh when we talk about size, most people think I weigh about 250. I have been dieting for about a year and have lost over 30 lbs.. But in the last 3 or 4 months, my weight has moved up and down. I'm at 329 right now and it has moved as low as 315 to as high as 335. I have not changed my diet and have even tried exercising a little bit more.
1397290 tn?1357777871 Calorie-intake should be according to your physical activity. 2800-3000 is quite a lot, which if you don't gain of it, you should perhaps seek professional aid.
1203175 tn?1265553335 Anyone know how to kick start your metabolism so you start losing pounds, other than weight loss medications? Will not use those.
Avatar m tn I'm no doctor, so I definitely can't give you any medical information on Ambien, but I can relay my personal experience with it. I've been on Ambien (currently 10mg) for SEVERAL years now (5 or more). I have many chronic pain conditions, including fibroymalgia. One of the major symptoms of fibro is insomnia - which I definitely suffer from!
Avatar f tn I'm 18 , I do a lot of sports .. And I do not eat that much .... Why can't I go under 65kg ?
1568041 tn?1311615212 Does she think it's an issue? Personally,I think Ambien is a dangerous drug to be taking all the time. But,if she can't sleep and hasn't increased her dose for a year,then this is her lifestyle. I don't agree with it either but I know insomnia can be just horrible. There are other things she can take. If she wants to try it, suggest Melatonin and Valerian root. It's safe and it works for a lot of people. However,anyone on SSRI's should avoid Melatonin.
Avatar f tn If you really want to kick-start your metabolism, you may also try dividing your meals up into smaller portions that you eat more often throughout the day. Every time you eat, it helps your metabolism rise, so as strange as it may sound, eating frequently can help you lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. Take care!
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?
Avatar f tn At least 6-7 years at a pop and can stop it with very mild consequences. Some lack of sleep and maybe some headaches and neck/back pain but really nothing. Try OTC Advil pm or something maybe.
Avatar n tn 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?
491910 tn?1209366193 then 30...and so on until its 5 then jump off. I have ambien,rozerem scripts myself but stopped the ambien and made it a once a week or less thing because it can be bad news. You might want to see if the Dr will switch you to say lunesta and see if you can use that while getting off ambien or when you tapered low enough to jump and switch. Good luck.
1017452 tn?1254904998 I have had good results from Ambien, benadryl, Dramamine, and Xanax, and not from trazadone or melatonin. YMMV. Of course, I am not fighting methadone withdrawals. Congratulations on the 35 days, that's awesome! About 20 years ago, when I was getting off booze, I was sleeping about 1 hour a night for a couple of weeks, and a doctor prescribed doxepin, which worked very well. It is an antidepressant, and had no side effects at all (including sleepiness). It just took care of my head.
352798 tn?1399298154 part of it is my late training, my metabolism doesnt gear down till after midnight, and part of it is all the stuff i have on my mind.. and maybe even part of it is being clean for a few weeks now, i dont know... all i know is i FINALLY got a full night sleep last night from this ambien pill.. i took one pill @ 9:07pm and by 10pm i was out like a friggin light.. i can see how these are habit forming.. i'm worried about trading one addiction for another....
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.
750172 tn?1256147076 Hi, I was just googling Ambien and Lexapro and read your question. I take Ambien here and there, since I have trouble staying asleep, and have recently become severely depressed and got some Lexapro from a friend, (I know not the best thing to do, but... such is life), but wanted to know if you had any issues taking the two.
