Common Questions and Answers about Ambien and soma

ambien

Avatar f tn I am also on ambien to help me sleep due to insomnia. I just want to know is it ok for me to take the soma and then take the ambien about an hour later. I don't want to OD or anything, I just want to be able to sleep well. Can anyone offer some advice.
Avatar f tn No, ambien and soma are both diffferent. Try dropping one at a time- not sure which one but be careful swapping one drug or another (introducing soma!) soma is a powerful muscle relaxer and not to be taken lightly: I just suggest tapering the Xanax best you can but I'm not a doctor and thus just telling you my experience....
Avatar f tn Ok I have not taken an opiates for 11 days. I have been on soma 4 to 6 a night for 12 years to get to sleep. I do not sleep at all without them. Well new dr took me off and put me on flexeril that does nothing. I will never sleep again! Oh and how I do love to sleep. My body craves sleep and I can't wait for bedtime. I even took an ambien one time and it did nothing. Nite time OTC meds don't work. Will I ever sleep again?
363110 tn?1340920419 (xrays were 16mo old) I went back to my primary and told him and he wanted to get new images and put me back on norco 10/325 1x4hrs and Soma 350mg 2x6hrs. This was in January. I had tried the other muscle relaxants first, Robaxin, Flexeril, etc. with no results.
Avatar n tn I've been using Ambien CR, and it's been helping me get sleep and helping big time with the anxiety. I've never tried Soma...so not sure, but I wouldn't think it would interfere with the process of your body getting clean. I think it's important to try to get some sleep, too. I have tried clonidine .1mg twice per day, and it takes away RLS and will help with sleep a little, too. Some say it works really well...moderately for me.
Avatar n tn Norco, Soma, xanex, and Ambien. Took them for over 10 years. Went through the original detox symptoms. Question is how much longer will I have remaining symptoms; GI problems, Can't sleep and anxiety. It's been over 3 months and I am still physically not right. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
Avatar m tn I posted this in the General health section but I'm going to re-post here as this seems a more appropriate forum for this: So about 6 months ago I was stricken by anxiety and severe panic attacks after my psych doc decided to cold turkey stop my Vyvanse because my resting heart rate was getting too high. I dealt with what felt like a constant panic attack 24 hours a day for nearly 2 months. To give you an idea how bad it was, I lost nearly 40 lbs in the short span of time.
Avatar f tn I just tok 700 mg of soma 10mg of ambien and .5 mg of xanax at the same time. ..is this ok?
Avatar f tn should i fill it or let it be? I have horrible pms and will need something for it when it hits! Is ambien alright to take to sleep also?
604266 tn?1236358985 I relaized the muscle relaxants might help because as soon as I started ambien my pain decreased some. I know ambien and muscle relaxants are not the same but I'm assuming since ambien does relax the body that maybe the MR will too...hopping anyway. She said it will sedate me a bit and I will probably have no need for my ambien. But I hate being sedated and was hopping someone had some expereince with it and could tell me if it just makes you a little sleepy or knowcks you completely out.
562692 tn?1216227079 Also be really careful in mixing the ambien and soma,,you can have a really bad reaction as I did a couple months ago.
Avatar f tn what was ur dose of soma before u quit? soma is usually tapered if high doses r used..and often peeps with a tolerence to soma also have a tolerence to benzos...sleep is important to recovery..phenergan is a safe drug for nausea that also makes peeps sleep..lil pieces like 1/4 can be good in the daytime for anxiety..not addicting and most dr's will call it in for a tummy virus sounds like u r on ur way to getting this done..good for u...
Avatar n tn i have been to two rehabs and most latley i have gotton off of xanax soma vicodid ambien flexarill and fetynol.all these were prescribed by a doctor but the fetynol.i missed work and was in hell for weeks but i did stay off now for two months.this behavior is a cycle but it can be broken with help from proffesionals.so don't give up and get help!
Avatar f tn Dec 6 2012 after meeting with my thyroid doctor,that was it. I went to PM and said take me off.the plan was for me to taper down until dec20. ( Omgosh,that would be a disaster on Xmas) dec 7 3 soma/hydro dec 8 210 mg hydro/2soma dec 9 2 hydro 1soma dec10 2 5mg hydro dec11 2 5mg hydro .dec12 2 5mg hydro dec13 my last hydro 5mg.. Withdraw from soma stomach crap/dir within 8 hours..it wasnt bad. Dec14 I thought I was going to be sick,I wasn't but 24 later..
Avatar m tn Now after 6 nights of no sleep, no energy, and flu like symtons I am going nuts. I talked to my Dr. and he gave me a three night supply of ambien for sleep, and immodium for stomach, so far everything is cool. I went through 6 days of hell, but I am starting to see the light. Had I known about the patch sooner I would have gotten it right away. Now I just need answers to deal with the pain without the meds...???
Avatar f tn t handle them either (I apparently am very sensitive to that type of med and they make me EXTREMELY hyper and actually increase my pain a LOT) I currently take hydrocodone for pain and ambien for sleep. A while back I was having trouble with the Ambien not working and my doctor tried me on trazodone, but once again, I reacted badly to it and rather than it helping me sleep, it made me hyper and I was not able to sleep for 2 1/2 days while taking it!
175688 tn?1297556647 soma is more like valium. all three are addicting, so really it's not a good idea to use it for w/d, in my opinion.
Avatar m tn I tried Abien a few years ago and it wired me all night. Last night, I took ,1 clonidine and 2 soma and I just knew that would put me to sleep and all it did was give me a big buzz and i was wired for a few hours. I know I just need some sleep!
Avatar f tn t post much, but do read alot. Thanks to all of you I am 137 days clean from all pills, (Norco, oxycontin,xanax,soma,ambien) tons of them! And 102 days clean from methadone. Went cold turkey off the pills, NOT FUN! Weaned off the methadone through my pain management dr. over a 3 wk period. also NOT FUN! (by the way doing this while going through chemo treatment). I will be done with chemo in 2 wks, can't wait. I feel really good as far as not even thinking about taking anything.
Avatar m tn I have severe chronic back pain due to an auto accident I was in many years ago. I've been on several different muscle relaxers including Skelaxin and Flexeril. Skelaxin did not help me at all but Flexeril did. The Flexeril worked great for many years until it stopped and I had to switch to a new med and that's when my Dr put me on the Soma. The Soma does work great but I struggle to keep it under control.
363110 tn?1340920419 I figured it was time to post an update. Today is day 13 off soma and to be completely honest I feel alot better. I had a week of W/D where I had some muscle aches and I could not sleep much at all and had to take ambien and when I did sleep I'd dream that I was taking soma (wierd hu?) but this last week has been ALOT better. I'm back to a regular pattern with my sleep and my husband and I have been reconnecting. This last week Ive also taken to talk to family and a couple friends.
Avatar m tn I had a drug test done and I am in pain management. I take Soma 350 and my test came back negative for Soma but positive for Meprobamate. I only take the Soma when needed. My questions are, how long does Soma stay in your system and what is Meprobamate?
410475 tn?1262942367 The more of that you take the more you will need and the less it will work. I was taking 4 to 5 ambien crs a night at one point. Or Lunesta. Now for 3 days i am off of it and just taking melatonin 5 mg. and L-triptophan 2 or 3 of those. I have had 2 pretty good nights actually and am hopeful that it will get even better. All of those meds are habit forming, the sleeping ones and pain ones, all except the benadryl you mentioned.
Avatar n tn I would let the vet know what had happened just so that if you DO end up having to take him to the office in an emergency (if the pill makes him sick) he will know what has happened.
Avatar f tn That is a lot of Soma even when use to it, 15 a day will still affect your motor skills memory and a few other things..add the xanax I do not think functioning properly would define it.. We all have a past maybe it is time to deal with it.. If you just started the xanax I would suggest giving them to someone you trust you are taking way to much.. The soma has to be tapered as does the xanax ... I'm awake if you would like to talk..
