ambien

Avatar m tn t changed my routine so much. I have continued to take ambien 10mg and lortab for cyst pain. Also I have used some skin lightening stuff from avon about 3 times and not sure what it contains.The thing is I am now 9 weeks pregnant and don't think I can go through with this abortion but am scared I should just because I have not been going by the book. I know there are no studies on pregnant humans but can someone help me ease my mind?
Avatar f tn From the posts I read it seems that many were taking above the max dose 4000 mg of acetaminfen daily. Irreversable liver/kidney damage has always been a big concern to me which is why I never exceed the 4000 mg a day. I just had blood drawn yesterday & will nervously await the results. If they tell me my enzymes are higher it will be easier to quit. I think. Have any of you had any damage to liver/kidney damage as a result of your vicodin use?
Avatar m tn Frequent urination itself is not thought to cause renal damage unless the CAUSE of the urination has caused kidney damage for example a bad kidney infection. Life expectancy for people with diabetes(true diabetes, not prediabetes) is reduced mainly because of possible complications . But these can largely be prevented with good care. I do not know if all of your concerning symptoms stem from your pre-diabetic stage. Take care and certainly seek out the opinion and guidance of a specialist.
Avatar n tn Hello Ursamere. As you probably know, we're not physicians here, but are happy to share our experiences with you so you can explore the ideas further with your diabetes team. I'm also a long-time DMer - about 35 years. 5.6 is an excellent a1c and as one who's not (yet) achieved an a1c under 6, I admire the work & discipline it takes to achieve that.
Avatar f tn I take benadryl if I need help sleeping. 50mg at night does the trick. Im not sure how safe ambien is while prego, but I know benadryl is safe!

Avatar f tn The only way to truly ease your mind is by being totally honest with him/her. I have liver damage and kidney damage due to drugs stage 2 liver stage 3 kidney.. if your liver were damaged and you had a flare your belly would be extended/pain upper right you would be lethargic/vomiting.. other symptoms but these being severe.. It is not fun and I would not wish it on anyone.. I contracted hep C from slamming and further continued the damage through pills/alcohol..
Avatar n tn [1] Stage 2 Mild reduction in GFR (60-89 mL/min/1.73 m2) with kidney damage. Kidney damage is defined as pathologic abnormalities or markers of damage, including abnormalities in blood or urine test or imaging studies.[1] Stage 3 Moderate reduction in GFR (30-59 mL/min/1.73 m2).[1] British guidelines distinguish between stage 3A (GFR 45-59) and stage 3B (GFR 30-44) for purposes of screening and referral.

Avatar f tn Apparently, my insurance has decided that I am at risk for taking Ambien. They don't tell me the risk, so they won't allow the script to be filled. Therefore, if my doctor writes me a script for Lunesta or Ambien, what would be my cost without insurance? I'm 75 yrs. young, look 60 and have a good nights sleeps with this product. They don't tell me what the risks are, which is a thorn in my side.

Avatar f tn See your gynecologist again or go to your regular physician where s/he will probably direct you to someone who specializes in things like nerve damage. Definitely do something about the kidney infection. Are you getting treated for it? If not, start getting treated for it immediately.
Avatar n tn I have been taking ambien for over 5 years and I can't stop taking it. It really helps me sleep each night so I don't want to stop. I just don't want this to damage my memory or any other part of my body long-term. Any suggestions to try to get me to stop taking it?
Avatar m tn While i may have bloating, tummy pains and rumbling of gas moving in my intestines etc, i have also been diagnosed with high protein in the urine, doctors say is caused by damage to the kidney, letting more albumin out than usual. They attribute this damage to the high blood pressure i am suffering. My question is: could the increased gas pressure from aerophagia enter the kidney and cause this physical internal damage, and/or augment the increased BP.
Avatar f tn I really think the stimulator turned up high is what caused my planers F. The leg stretches wouldn't work because it kept my calves ridge . Now that I've turned it down my heels don't hurt near as bad, And as far as the ambien goes, I've switched to amitripyling. Haven't had any ambien in 2 nights. I've been sleeping til 3:00am Then go right back to sleep!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just hope I don't have to be on it for long. Do you think I'll go through WD when I quit it?
Avatar m tn I have a lingual nerve damage for two years, I have no live, I'm seriously consider to put a end to my life, I can not live anymore like this. I have pain and a burning sensation in my tongue for 24 hours a day.
Avatar n tn I was given Ambien CR to stop me from waking up so much up in the middle of the night. It caused me short-term memory problems, too, but the problems went away after I stopped taking it. I had a really bad problem with doing stuff in the morning and having no recollection of what I did. I'd actually do quite complicated things, too, like have breakfast, a conversation with my partner and check my email. Personally, the stuff creeps me out.
Avatar m tn If the ureter is not completely blocked the risk for kidney damage is small, and you might even expel it naturally.
Avatar f tn I've been on Viread a few months with good results so far. Before meds and at 2 month mark my kidney level was unchanged (gfr and creatine good). I know Viread has that risk long term of kidney damage, which worries me since most will need it longterm or life, as of what's available now. I have read taking baking soda is good for kidneys. Should I start this, or only of I see changes in labs?
