Common Questions and Answers about Ambien hallucinate

ambien

Avatar f tn I have been taking ambien for severe insomnia for about 5 years. I have never needed more than one pill a night. I have never taken more than prescribed but I cannot fall asleep without one pill. I am now pregnant, and i am cutting the pill in half. It is still working for me and I can get a few hours of sleep but IM still concerned that I am addicted to this.
222369 tn?1274474635 I have had a couple patients addicted to large amounts of Ambien. There isn't a great amount of guidance out there for handling detox from Ambien; Ambien binds to a subunit of the GABA receptor, similar to benzodiazepines, so I think that a benzo taper would be reasonable.
Avatar m tn -Ambien: Put me to sleep caused me to do some regrettable things and also hallucinate. -Trazodone: Hallucinations, Did not put me to sleep. -Ativant, Xanax, and Valium: (oral, months after hospital stay), did not effect me at all , possible benzo tolerance maybe? -Valerian Root, Kava, and Melatonin: None effected me -Antidepressants: Wellbutrin, Effexor, Cymbalta, Prozac What other drugs would be a possibility to help me get to sleep?
Avatar f tn Insomnia, aches and pains mostly. I wake up feeling like I've been beat up. It's worse with rainy weather and a warm bath gets me going, and I do pretty well during the day. It mainly starts up at night. Melatonin, Benedryl, and Tryptofan don't help with the insomnia, and I don't do with with Ambien. Was told that makes me really crazy.
1355301 tn?1287967641 I actually found that when I tried Lunesta (or had to switch to it from my normal Ambien because I was in the hospital and they only use Lunesta there) - that I had the same thing happen to me. As soon as I was able to go back to my normal Ambien, it stopped. I wonder if it's a side effect of the Lunesta... but maybe not since you said taking the Lunesta actually helped the situation for you.
Avatar m tn Do people with PTSD hallucinate? If yes what percentage does and is this condition treatable. I forgot to ask this my shrink because I didn't believe him the diagnosis but after doing some research I think he is right.
Avatar f tn The problem is when my temperature goes above 101F or 38.3C I start to hallucinate. I always have and probably always will when I get a higher temperature. It's that bad when my fever was at it's highest I woke up and saw my Grandma standing beside my bed. Now this wouldn't be any cause for alarm you may be thinking, the problem is my Grandmother has been dead for 10 years.
1439426 tn?1283970705 Is it possible to hallucinate while having a mixed episode? I believe I have.
Avatar f tn I have Ambien for sleeping, but I was having issues with sleeping before I started the Lamictal. It's because my sleep schedule is so off from where it should be, and I'm used to staying up until I'm about to fall asleep on my feet so that I don't have to sit in bed with my thoughts. The Lamictal has decreased the thoughts a lot, but they're still there sometimes. The Ambien does make me hallucinate a bit, but it doesn't bother me in the slightest.
Avatar f tn t sleep and the second day i slept but the anxiety and lack of sleep made me wake up at times and hallucinate before i would sleep. i started to sleep every other day until the fifth day i was back, which was last friday. with the help of a sleeping pill prescirbed by my doctor i slept fine that day and the second and third day without a sleeping pill i slept fine.
Avatar m tn When I'm asleep and I open my eyes through the night I tend to hallucinate and scream until it goes away. How do I stop this? How do I make it go away? And what is this?
1198664 tn?1368647812 Yeah I have never made it past day 10 (tonight) in the past. No doubt I WILL make it tonight. I really think it's the HUNGER. so I am eating some Asian soup. And some light poPcorn. I think it's the hunger for sure. There is NO WAY I'm giving in that is not an option. I was actually trying to substitute the perc's and thinking about ambien which I have prescribed to me ad I have used recreationally but them make my brain feel like it's being damaged.
Avatar m tn People with anxiety do not see hallucinations... if they do it's probably b/c they are on something called ACID or LSD. lol. People who do hallucinate, usually are schizophrenic. BUT! Don't let your anxiety start taking over right now and start making your self think you are schizophrenic. lol. I've done that before. I agree with greenlydia and nursefirl6572 on this one.
Avatar f tn How do you get through an Ambien withdrawl? I was taking up to 7 a day> shaking,sweating,nausea and my mind feels drunk. R there any non-addictive meds to help the detox?
Avatar f tn Has anyone ever been given ambien during pregnancy? I just started on it last night to help me sleep. Anyone have any negative effects? Should i be worried about my babies?
Avatar f tn I'm 16+2 my dr prescribed me ambien..I'm scared to take it as I've seen what it does to my mom...anyone not have bad side effects like sleep walking, sleep driving or hillucinating?
Avatar f tn I've looked up a lot about ambien during pregnancy and I haven't found anything saying you shouldn't take it or that it'll harm the baby. Has anyone spoken to their doctor about ambien? I've had ambien prescription for years and it's really hard for me to sleep. No I'm not addicted, I used to take it only once or twice a week. It wasn't an every day thing. But it gets sooooo hard for me to sleep some nights so I'm wondering if it's safe.
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.
Avatar n tn r u sure it is the ambien? it could be a mixture? all 3 drugs aggravate depression and out of the 3 ambien is categorized as the least addictive of the three drugs u r taking.....i would talk to my doctor and find another alternative for sleep....taking these every night could get u into trouble..have u tried the natural sleep aids like melatonin, valerian, etc?
870200 tn?1240459551 Does anybody hae any comments about ambien? That stuff is crazy.... when I take it I find myself calling people and having intense conversations but the next day I can't remember anything. I can't even remember going to bed. But if I don't take it I can't fall asleep...
Avatar n tn While I was in the office, I forgot to ask whether this new drug could interact with the Ambien, so I stopped taking the Ambien until I could see my doctor again. About a month went by in which I did not use Ambien at all. During this time, the abdominal pains gradually lessened over a period of weeks, and eventually disappeared.
Avatar n tn Everyone keeps telling me you need rehab to get off ambien is this true?? I have been on it for 2 years on and off. I have trying to cut my dose. Can anyone give me the side effects of discontinuation ?
501205 tn?1227345442 I couldnt sleep last night and took an ambien for the first time in awhile and I have to say those are bad pills. I always thought they were okay for me but I made the mistake of taking one and not going to bed right away and I have no recollection of what I did for the last half hour before bed. I was just reading my post to Courtney and I cant even remember typing it -- let alone what it said.
Avatar f tn i have been using ambien for many years now. i used the ambien and it's generic form zolpidem. it has always work up until two months ago when apparently the pharmacy changed suppliers. i took the little round purle pill up until then and now i take a white oval one.
