ambien dosage to get high

My Dr. gave me Trazodone 50mg to help me get off of ambien. 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.

I like using herbs myself and will share my list below for the anxiety you talk about. Hope it helps...they did...do for me. The herb Valerian root (Valeriana officinalis) is used as a sedative on the nervous system and a relaxant for the muscles (Reader's Digest, 2009, Pp128). It also helps with headaches, which can sometimes be a result of an anxiety attack. According to Mosby's the recommended dosage of Valerian extract is 400-900mg, before bedtime (2010, Pp592).

I'll begin by telling you all I suffer from c5 and c4 nerve damage that causes pain on my left side as well as tendonitis in all my joints up my left arm from fingers to shoulder. I was on perscription sleeping pills for an enormous chunk of my childhood, and had horrible experiences with them. Because of this I really, really hate drugs.

Some people do get rebound anxiety from ambien. Have you taken it before when not detoxing to see how you react? I was pounding muscle milk and EAS shakes. Both are sold at the reg. grocery store in the health food section. Very high protein and I drink the (lite), to lower calories and sugar.Stay away from caffeine right now. I swear, the more I moved the less my anxiety was. Turn some music on and get up from your desk and DANCE!

on klonopin and ambien weekend i have neither took a ativan to not panic ... what do i do? start work tomororow where can i or what can i do till i can talk to dr. and get my meds?

It is very important to taper the ativan, not go c/t! You could have a seizure and the signs of tingling, numbness concern me. I hope someone else gets here quickly because this is serious. It might be a good idea to go to the ER. Then talk to your Dr. about a taper process.

I do not respond to generic Ambien the same as the brand Ambien. I would recommend trying the brand, if you can afford it. It can make all of the difference. I am so, so sorry to hear about your miscarriage and your post traumatic stress. Sleep will be very important in your recovery, so I hope that you can get this resolved. I would not recommend using xanax for sleep, however. What dosage are you taking?

It started in 2006. Thousands of postings from lost souls trying to quit, posting in the wee hours, awake, unable to get to sleep. But there are also many posters like you happypill. There are millions more people who need the sleep and rest they get from Ambien. My mom was one of them. She passed away a couple of years ago from cancer at age 87 but stayed on Ambien for years, 5MG a night, until the end. I never second guess a doctor (mom was an RN!

taper the ambien down slowly and carefully week to week or longer if needed. get down to 35....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 feel like I'm in no place to give advice here, as I'm back on my Vics and beginning to plan a taper, however, the last time I went through detox I know that Xanax helped with my anxiety and Ambien did help with my sleep. I have heard all the Thomas Recipes suggestions but I just felt that after being a heavy opiate user and going c/t they just did nothing to help me. I wish they did.

I have Bipolar I, and have been experiencing a great deal of relief from Lamictal/Lamotrigine for several years. However, my psychiatrist is starting to raise the dose, and I don't know why. I haven't been with this psychiatrist for very long. I was on the usual dose of 200mg/day; then, she raised it to 400mg/day. I'm not sure I felt much better from raising it, but it's possible, so I wasn't worried. Now, though, she wants to raise it to 600mg/day.

The high would only last for a few hours so I would have to take two every few hours to keep the feeling all day long. I have never had an addictive personality, but this has really got a hold on me.

hi. at this point i can seem to easily obtain prescriptions for xanax so ambien will i have to do. i get real anxious so if i don't have xanax around the ambien has to do. so to answer your questions there are days that i take 2 at a time during the day just to stay calm, then 4 to nap, then at night around 5 sometimes more. sad thing is i don't really feel much and only sleep for about three hours straight if i am lucky.

I have been put on Ambien for the "insomnia". That was the only symptom left over from hyper/graves. It has been about 15yrs since my TT, and I still do not sleep, but I got used to it. I can only take the ambien every 6th or 7th day, because I have a high tolerance for it. I have also been prescribed Lunesta, my doctor prescribed it to me, so i guess it is okay to take sleep aides. I have for the past 10 yrs off and on. Just make sure your doctor says it is okay.

Anyway my supply has been cut and I am nervous but glad. I need desperately to get off this stuff, I feel tired and forgetful and I want my safe and happy life back. Can someone please help? I am on Prozac 20mg and have 10 x 15 mg tabs left as well as Valium, Ambien and Xanax and Codiene. Could someone with a bit more knowledge let me know how I can make this less difficult - I cut down to 5 tabs yesterday and got diarreahea and felt awful...

Did you take 20mg at first? How did you get down to your current dosage?

I have went so far as to take 2 clonazapam, 2 ambien and 2 muscle relaxers just to get 3-4 hours of sleep. What else could I do? I work 13 hours per day six days a week.....I am exhausted and desperate!!

I was put on trazadon because of my severe insomnia and anxiety due to going through hormone change. After Ambien and Lunesta quit cold on me (due to the hormone change), I have been taking 1 ambien and 150 mg. of Trazadone for 3 nights now. I started with one Ambien and 50 mg. of Trazadone, then second night, I couldn't sleep so my regular doctor said to adjust dosage to 1 Ambien and 100 mg.. Third night I had to use 1 ambien and 150 mg.

I took Ambien years ago for a longg period. I became tottaly addicted. I had to get detoxed in a mental hospital ward. It went very well in 5 days i was cured. Anyway WOULD I GET INSTANTLY ADDICTED AGAIN FROM 1 PILL? I heard if you have been addicted to an opiate pain killer b4. You can or will get instantly addicted again from 1 pill or a single dose. Would this happen with Ambien? I realy need to know.

But, in the mean time I have to figure out what is causing this because I am getting really sick from lack of sleep. I want to eventually get off the Ambien, but I don't know if this is the right time since I'm already not sleeping well. Has anyone experienced these symptoms or does anyone else have an addiction to Ambien? I would appreciate any feedback.

Hi, I can identify with you wanting to get off ambien. I hate it. 20mg is huge! 10 weeks isn't a long time to be on it, so i think you'll have mild withdrawal. Do not stop cold turkey! I was on 7.5MG a night for 8 months and now I'm into my 12th week of tapering directly off. Right now I'm alternating 1.25/2.5MG. Taking only 1.25 every other day, let alone 2.5 on the GOOD day is getting me into withdrawal by 2-3pm every day.

Ask your doctor about adding trazadone to your regimen. It is an antidepressant and to be taken in the evening before bed. You would take this in lieu of the ambien. You may need to ween off the ambien a bit at first. Insomnia has always been the greatest issue for me as well with anxiety/depresssion and Trazadone has been the solution. Good luck.

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?
