ambien zombie

HELP PLEASE NEED SLEEP All sugestions Apreciated going nutts!!havnt slept in 110 hours went cold turkey of blues30s 4-6,7 per day. already have been on ambien for 2 years, It won't breakthru this withdrwl insomnia fell like a living zombie benzos melentonin doesnt work should I try benadryl or trazadone...

If you are getting any sleep at all right now I would not do it.If you have not slept at all then yes. I did ambien one time in detox and I am pretty sure it made my days more zombie like and added days to the detox.

Staying awake on Ambien did seem to help the anxiety but that is only because it turned me into a zombie and when I was on Ambien, it was like I was half-way dreaming and for most people dreams are impossible to remember all the way, now what does that sound like? Also, I remember one time I took it and told myself ok, I have ten minutes to go to bed....then I started watching tv...then I remember like hallucinating from the lights coming from the tv and thats when I new it was time for sleep.

I got off of pain meds back in april 09 and couldnt sleep so I went to the doctor and got ambien. I take a 10 mg pill every night. After reading some posts I am wondering if the ambien is making me tired and more depressed during the day. I need to go see a therapist as i stopped my aftercare too soon and didnt have the right fit of a therapist. I am going to taper the ambien down to 5 mgs a night for a week or 2 and then maybe 5 mg every other night for a week or so.

So I was just curious..im forever addicted to ambien? i was prescribed it 2 years go along with lexapo and i was taking 3 times the recommended amount..i notice from people that i was getting myself way in over my heard so i went to a new psychiatrist who put me on a did sleeping pill which worked too well...

Well I took Benabryl and an atavain and slept a good 6 hours straight decided I needed more sleep so took another dose of Benadryl and now I am a walking zombie. I have the coffee on. That should help. I guess I felt desperate. I do not recommend it!!! When I am back with the living I will tell you how I feel.

I take Vistaril to go to sleep. I like Ambien but it makes me a zombie the next day. Usually in combination with Vistaril. Everybody is different though. See if you can get a sample and try it.

I'm no doctor, so I definitely can't give you any medical information on Ambien, but I can relay my personal experience with it. I've been on Ambien (currently 10mg) for SEVERAL years now (5 or more). I have many chronic pain conditions, including fibroymalgia. One of the major symptoms of fibro is insomnia - which I definitely suffer from!

I am going away for two days tomorrow and I have a friend who had ambien and she gave me one. Yeah, yeah, I know this is not something I should do, but I did. This is what happens sometimes when your Dr. refuses to help you. And actually I had 12 ambien that was prescribed last year in July , I just used the last one when I was gone overnight last month. I do not take them unless it is necessary.

Cannabilistic Zombie?

00am and 2:00am. I have had 2 sleep studies and they recommend Ambien Long Acting. It didnt work. I feel fully awake and get up for the rest of the night and work on the computer or something. No sleep apnea or resless leg syndroem or anything. Studies show I just wake up after a short REM cycle. I have tried Ambien, and a lot of herbal medicines. Nothing works.

I got off the Diziapine days ago..Made me feel like a zombie...Anyone else have this kind of problem?

Last night I took everything I possibly could, ambien, tylenol PM, Nyquil, Benadryl, and finally gabapentin did the trick since it helps with restless legs. But this morning I feel like a walking zombie. Can anyone tell me when the insomnia will end?

Hey everyone, today is day 8 with no suboxone and day 25 no pills. After my first 5 day of sub I was down to 2 mgs and weened down to .125 mg total sub usage was 17 days. For the last 20 days I've had problems sleeping the doctor gave me ambien cr and I've taken it to help sleep because I've worked all through this. So I've been taking melatonin and valerian root to sleep naturally. It helps me go down then after 1-2 hours I'm up!

i dont like the trazodone because if my anxiety is high, i still cant sleep then the next day i feel like a zombie. But he wont change it and wants me to try again for a while.

Stop taking Ambien!!!! I had this problem too! Actually I did not sleep on Ambien, although I thought I did. My husband clearly informed me that I had EXTREME OCD on it, did not sleep, and I complained I couldn't remember things. I lost a whole weekend and I wasn't even on a full dose! It's not your sleep issue it's the pill. You have a thyroid disorder too? I believe that is why I don't sleep.

s not like ambien. Ambien has a super short half life. Trazadone will leave you feeling groggy the next day if you take it too late. I definitely agree with trying on your own. Just don't give up if you awaken in the middle of the night. Get up and do something. I was always afraid to do that because I didn't want to "get wide awake", but that was a joke! I was already wide awake and fighting getting up! Just move to another room.

Talk to your dr about it. Mine gave me ambien and I take a half a pill maybe once a week. I dont take it often but I feel like if I can get 1 great night of sleep in a week then I can handle the rest of the sleepless nights.

After cutting down to half of my regular dose of Oxy's for the last two days I feel fine but I have not had a minute of sleep in two nights. No rls but alot of turning over and restlessness. Second night of sitting at my computer at 4 or 5am and I'll be a zombie if I don't get some sleep soon. Should I be looking into getting some sleeping pills? Otherwise I feel fine.

How long will this continue is it permanent..? What has worked...? They have tried seroquel,elavil,benadryl,and even ambien and all the above make me anxious not calm me and help me fall asleep. Please someone point me in a direction...!!!!!

I have been on this drug for the shortest amount of time (2 months, going on 3) but I feel that tolerance is already an issue with ambien, but apart from another benzo or non-beno z-drug what else is there? If 10mg zolpidem won't put me out would it be of any use to try ambien CR? 6.25 mg. is not going to put me out...that's is for sure.

Sounds like it might be a tad extreme -- as you discovered, it's a "novel" anti-psychotic with sedative properties. Why didn't he give you a week's supply of benzos or Ambien? No repeats, just seven days and no more ... even safer would be an ancient anti-depressant called trazodone. Knocks you on your *** for the first few days, so you could ask for that one -- not addictive.

gym but you are on too many pills to exercise do you know the reason why you are not sleeping?

t know this med - and have had so many problems with sleep over the years. Without the help of meds, I would still be a zombie from no sleep, which as you know makes all MS problems worse. Are the long term reprecussions that bad? I'll have to read on it when I get the chance. I feel that if something gives you the ability to function - it's good. Otherwise, the downward spiral starts (at least for me). Hope others share their experiences too.

BUT i just had major depressive episode (zombie/like paralysis, constant sobbing and deep sadness, difficulty sleeping) coupled with my normal anxiety (external factors involved such as surgery recuperation, serious family and relationship problems. but who knows how internal and external issues fuse?). wanted to stay off effexor due to low libido side effects (am in a relationship which is suffering) . had taken 150 mgs wellbutrin in the past along with effexor and was fine.
