ambien

Avatar f tn thanks for you response. I didn't really feel anything but then again I'm not sure. I did fill it again and started yesterday. I guess I always thought I was taking too much meds. I have 2 dif meds for diabetes and I also take ambien at night to sleep. I have a hard time sleeping through. I just thought if I eliminated one med it would be that much less. I think I was wrong because I was in tears yesterday and at the store while I was in line picking up the celexa.
Avatar n tn I take them both and i sleep like a baby...one that sleeps thru the night. I used to be on just ambien and the side effects were crazy and funny...like when the carpet started bubbling it was time to go to bed...lol...but if we i dont take them i wont sleep at all...so its either small side effects or cranky crazy person...ill take bubbling carpet anyday!

In patients with liver disorder, a smaller dose of Ambien is generally prescribed. Ambien addiction is a serious problem requiring treatment. The signs of ambien withdrawal are insomnia, fatigue, sweating, stomach cramps, and panic attacks.
Avatar n tn I am a 30-year-old healthy female that started taking effexor xr in January. The dosage was raised to 150mg 2 months ago. I really haven't had any side affects. I went off birth control about a month ago, after taking it for 12 years and now I feel like my body is going crazy. I am having fluid seeping from one breast, head-aches that linger all day, I am exhausted even though I get plenty of sleep, I feel nauseous and dizzy often, and I am very emotional.
Avatar n tn It is habit forming, but what I like is the lack of awful side effects, and that I can choose dosage according to anxiety I face, or sleeplessness. Best to you. You can get a good night sleep. Let your doctor know what is happening.
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 f tn I have been taking Ambien for a yr and a half. It isn't working for me anymore, so my neurologist prescribed Trazodone. I have had a lot more stress lately and this is supposed to help with anxiety and depression. I really hate taking anything new. I'm nervous. I have read the side effects. They always freak me out. Is anyone or has anyone taken this before? If so, did it help with sleeplessness? Thanks everyone!!

1995824 tn?1330379049 Although my first week side effects were tolerable, I have been brought to my knees this week-end and totally understand what people are talking about when it comes to dizziness and nausea and headache! My main issue, however, is sleep - or lack thereof. I have two issues going on - one, the treatment side effects and, two, Xanax withdrawal.
Avatar n tn The other common side effects of Ambien are headache, dizziness, mental clouding, daytime drowsiness and allergies. Hence, it is advised you visit your doctor if you are experiencing any such side effects. The drug is considered safe for a period of two to maximum six weeks for the treatment of insomnia. If taken for a longer duration, one may develop dependence on ambien. You should discuss with your doctor about the risks of taking ambient for 2 weeks or longer.
Avatar f tn There have been reports that people get out of their house and drive their cars under the effects of Ambien.. so if you are having amnesia or other side effects of that nature, stop it immediately... and call your doctor!
Avatar m tn I understand your reservations about taking an antidepressant for a different purpose, and I would like to present some information to you that might help you understand why your doctor might have chosen this medication for this purpose. Trazodone is under a large umbrella of medications called Psychotropic.
Avatar n tn I've been on armour about a week and half for my hypo and have just recently started to feel some side effects. I've started getting some pains in my chest, it feels like it's right up under my heart, mostly during the night or in the morning. They don't really last long but I definitely notice it when its there. I am also very aware of my heart beat, even though it's not racing and at a normal rate, around the time these happen.
Avatar m tn I was never at 20 mg a night. I think I titrated from 10 mg to 5mg, stayed on the 5 for a while then as tolerance grew, went to 2 1/2 multiple times. I do manage dreams, but usually in the 5:00 to 7:00 AM part of sleep, suggesting this is REM. The best way to titrate to a lower dose is by dropping 2 1/2 mg and staying there for 3-5 days, then again. My next move is going to be to 100mg trazadone and 5mg sub lingual melatonin. I ordered the melatonin on line and am waiting to receive it.
