ambien dosage max

I had been on Ambien for less than a year. Mostly 7.5mg a night max. When I went through vicodin withdrawal I upped the dosage to 10mg, which was my script max. I have had withdrawal symptoms galore. I got body jerks, metallic taste, no memory, disorientation, depression, anxiety, difficulty swallowing, breathing difficulty, panic attacks, vertigo, high to low BP... on and on. My dreams were vivid. The very slow taper and OTC drugs helped with the insomnia. Are you back on Lunesta?

Also, the top recommended dosage of ambien for people without liver disease is 10 mgs a day. Do not take more than that and certainly do not take it with other CNS depressants. Please speak to yur doctor before taking anything.

Now I dont know if I need a higher dosage. Last week I was very emotional because of that time of month but I am still sad. I am having a stressful time in life now. I take it at 3am every morning so that it does not keep me awake all night. This week Ive had to take xanax the last 3 days because I was worrying so much which causes the depression.

Is anyone on Ambien, or been on it, or know any additional information about it? If so please do tell. Thank you!

m not exactly sure what the Max effective dosage is for Lexapro, but I used to take Lex for 2 years and was prescribed 30Mgs a day. Some people find effectivness at the 10 or 20Mg dosage. Just kind of deprends on the person and how they react to SSRI's and their resistance to such medications.

The highest recommended dosage of regular ambien (not CR) is 10 mg daily at bedtime. That doubling of the dose is a troubling issue since once that runs its course, where do you go from there? I would attempt to begin a tapering down with the cooperation of your doctor otherwise eventually you may have to go to a detox facility. The fact that you aren't taking any other medications (or are you?) should make the tapering a bit easier.

I sent you a website for info on ambien. Doctors are prescibing ambien for months and years and it can take up to 36 months to heal from it after complete cold turkey from the drug. Very scary drug more so than pain pills. Its very much like a Benzo.

I have been taking Ambien for sleep for about a month. I take 17.5mg (one whole tablet, and 3/4 of another) because I had to increase my dosage several times, and I upped it by 1/4 tablet each time. I didn't quite make it to two tablets before I got to the point where I don't need it, but am basically addicted to it. The condition requiring this is slowly fading, and I would like to eliminate my dependence on Ambien completely. How do I go about doing this?

i take 12,5 of ambien every night and let me tell you it will only give you 5 hours of sleep max. Melatonin is good but its natural, its like drinking warm milk. Have you tried any anti anxiety med during the day ? clonazepam is the most common one. But i do have to say i agree with churnman you should check whats going on during the day.

t easy to not think about your pending Ambien WD, but you need to stay in the present and be concentrating on the task at hand, which is opiate detoxing. I mentioned to you that it took me 4 months for Ambien tapering, but I took it slow. The slower you go, the easier it is on your system. If you search the net and on this site for Ambien withdrawal symptoms you'll find all kinds of hits to read. Believe all of it!

Yes, there are different dosages for Xanax and ambien. Ambien is a once at night medication, Xanax is usually one pill three times a day as needed. I don't have experience with klonopin or Zoloft, your MD will know.

The plan is to take both at betdime and gradually reduce the ambien dosage until I no longer need it at all. The trazodone is supposed to help me sleep when the ambien wears off. He said the trazodone was not addictive and I could easily quit it after the ambien is out of my system. Does anyone have any experience with this and does it sound like a plan that will work? I've only been taking the ambien for three months.

Thank you so much for your post. I have started decreasing my dosage of Ambien and hopefully that will work soon.

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.

I came off the same dosage as you 12 weeks ago, except I also quit the ambien at the same time. I was prescribed the .5 xanax for sleep and took it at night only. Well, eventually I needed 1mg to sleep,and at the same time I was experiencing rebound nausea, anxiety and all sorts or weird feelings during the day, due to the short half life of xanax. The ambien had also stopped helping me sleep after several months of usage on and off.

I'm reading folks making mention of Ambien. I've gotten off of the pain management opiates I was using. I'm coming up on 60 days clean from those. WDs were tough but I'm clean now. God bless the NA/AA programs. But the Ambien I was on to help me sleep with my back pain and opiate brain is MUCH harder to get off of. The stuff is unbelievable. I never really gave the Ambien much thought as I quickly got hooked on it.

so im trying to get off nexium so i bought some dgl the exact one i got is dgl ultra by enzymatic therapy german chocolate flavored each tablet is 400mg i wanted to know what other peoples dosage habits are like with dgl whats the max you should take..what dosage do you take that seems to help anything else i should know?

Before I began the clonazepam the ambien was very effective, but after I started the clonazepam the ambien was worthless. I think that is because the two classes of drugs share cross-tolerance. I have been curious about trazadone as a sleep aid since I have a hard time falling asleep most of the time. I am ok once I fall asleep and I sleep through the night but falling asleep can take me half the night w/o any meds to make me drowsy.

I am taking 10mg of Ambien at night and have been taking it for about 3 months now because I have not been sleeping. I am wanting to stop taking it. I tried a few nights to stop but never could fall asleep. how would I be able to stop taking it? I do not abuse it and only take it as directed I just don't want to rely on anything. I started taking it due to other health issues I have one being ovarian cancer.

I could tell early on that being on the Ambien was stressing you to the max. Now you have some pain relief and are off the Ambien....YOU GO GIRL!!!! Hope you'll give the Amitriptyline some time....your body is still healing from going off the hydro and now the ambien. When and if you decide to go off the Ami....be sure to wean off and talk to your dr. about a correct taper plan. That is a med I went on at 9 mos clean....and though I am not on it any longer....

I am almost at day 20 and have no desire to EVER have a frggin opaite again. I could have never acheived this without ambien and xanex. I have always had panic attacks and never been a good sleeper. I know before the wd from opiates never let me sleep so I would take about 30mg of ambien and when that runsout I switch to my xanex. I sleep well but now I want to be off everything is my body gonna freak out. I take about 2mg of xanex right now.

3 weeks ago i stopped to take mirtazapine, stopped slowly lowing the dosage from 15 mg to 3,75, i took it 3 month. it works with opiat receptors in the brain too...

Hey there, is it not going well? I thought 20mg was the max dose on Lexapro? I gave it 8 weeks!!
