Can i break ambien in half
Common Questions and Answers about Can i break ambien in half
ambien
s sleep (most nights). So, I see his point about using the Ambien briefly to break the cycle. I toughed it out, but I also am semi-retired, work from home and don't have to get up and go off to work every day. It took a long time. All my life, before being hyper, I'd slept like a baby...took a bomb to get me up. Because of that, I didn't have much in the way of "going back to sleep" skills. I think I'm finally learning them...
Hang in there and stay strong. Take it easy today if you overdid it yesterday. I was very lucky to great a break from my daughter and spent yesterday resting with my boyfriend. I kept thinking I should be doing something since I didn't have my girlie, but I think I really needed some down time after working all week.
Very familiar. I existed in a zombie-like half awake, half asleep state for as long as I took ambien, and for a month or so after I quit. One day, about six weeks after quitting, I "woke up", so to speak. I realized that for the first time in a very long time, I could think clearly again. My mind wasn't foggy, and I could think, reason, etc. You don't realize what a daze ambien puts you in until you quit taking it.
My doc tried me on trazodone, nortryptyline, valium, xanax.
the 12.5mg tabs are an extended release....i didn't know you could break those...
have you tried melatonin? you can't really use it with the ambien and for it to be effective, you usually need to make sure you 'prepare' yourself for bed. lights off....relax....let yourself wind down....all that junk.
ambien and benzo's usually don't do a lot of good other than to simply introduce another addicting substance.
I was an X XTC addicted so Ambien may of played a roll into my addiction to sleeping MEDS . Man what im such a joke I know ... after typing this in you can clearly see how weak I became !
I allowed human nature to bring me down and my hate for the church made me even weaker . I remember this girl from church asked when I got off the bus from Youth camp .
ve had to do this many times, and they say that you can initally cut the dosage in half for about a week and a half, then cut it in tiny amounts (maybe 1/4 the amount, for about a week, and so on and so on). At the end, when you are down to a small amount, just enough so your system knows the meds are still in there, you can go to every other night. But, I wouldn't do this until I was down to .5 or less milligrams. After that, you should just be able to stop.
Yes, it definitely sounds like an allergic reaction. I would make an Dr's apt ASAP to get checked. If it is an allergy to the Ambien, and you continue to take it, it will just get worse. You may even end up in anaphylaxis (sp?), which is a deadly allergic reaction. Your blood pressure drops, trouble breathing, shock often occurs, loss of conciousness, even death. Nothing to mess with. I am allergic to Ultram (Tramadol) and I had the same symptoms as you when I tried taking it.
t asleep, I would take a sleeping pill (prescribed ambien)....I am trying to get off these also so I have not gotten my refill on those and actually threw the bottle away....I recently discovered that ambien are also addictive....so I want off them as well....but I do worry that I am switching one addiction for another by substituting my sleeping and pain pills for alcohol. I have only been drinking a small glass in the evenings and don't crave it or anything...
I started taking Ambien & Prozac in Oct 2009. I started building a resistance so my doctor prescribed for me Restoril, that didn't work so she started me on Lunesta. After I started building a resistance to the Lunesta my doctor prescribed for me Ambien CR 12.5mg. It's now March 2010 and I need 4 or more Ambien CR to sleep. I can't sleep without it!!! I haven't taken the CR 12.5mg in 24hr and I have the common addiction symptoms.
I would not get your hopes with the Ambien I had Ambien and valium I used both for a week and still lost allot of sleep. Sleep deprivation is part of the ride. With time sleep will come bit by bit. I still wake up earlier than I want but my sleep I get is good sleep. Give your body some time to heal it has been through allot with using. I think by this weekend you will feel much better. After day 4 it only gets better.
It worked good at putting me to sleep but the last few days I have been waking up with terrible anxiety and shaking. I want to stop taking it tonight. Can I just stop or do I need to slowly reduce it? I would like to just stop taking it if I could. I don't know if the ambien is what is causing my morning anxity and shakes but I don't want to feel like that again in the morning. It's so terrible.
I'm at my wits end here. I've been suffering from sleep issues for about a week. I used to sleep like a rock for 7-10 hours a night uninterrupted. Over the past 2 weeks I've been having some major issues. I had a health scare, and thought I was going deaf. A petty thing, really. I poked a cloth too far in my ear, and plugged wax into the inner ear canal. A walk-in clinic visit later, and I was seemingly fine, even for the next day or 2. Then, the sleep issues started.
Hi, I was put on fentanyl patch before they had generic ones. 2003 & Diluadid for break thru. I have liver disease non alch non reversible. So that combo of meds is best for me. My doctor did as appropriately moved me up to 50 mch then 75 & 100 strength patches as needed then back down so tolerance would work well. I was able to do some gardening & start working out at gym as year went by. Lost 118pds :-) We then moved to FL.
