can zolpidem kill you

You are taking a very high dose of the Ambien, and you may be on a path where the dependency gets worse if you do not establish a plan for titration with your doctor. If your doctor approves it, you might consider titration alongside supplementation with melatonin--I've had some success there. Your situation, in which you are taking other psychiatric medications, makes this consultation all the more important.

How much do you take and how long have you been on it? I'm not sure if it's something you can stop CT or if you need to taper. Best to ask your doctor or pharmacist. I was on it for years, and I did stop CT and used melatonin and Allteril instead. I actually find the Allteril works better for sleep than the Ambien did.

If you have used Ambien/Zolpidem for 3 years you are going to have a hard time coming off of it. You need to really inform yourself on w/d from this drug. It is only meant for very short term use 7-10 days per the Ambien website. You can have seizures from w/d from Ambien it has to be tapered off of very slowly. You need to be under a doctors care after being on this med for so long.

ll need to decide if it is for you. You can talk to your doctor about he side effects you experience on it and then judge it if ultimately helps you get more sleep if it is worth the side effects or not.

My suggestion to you is to make sure you rest when you can. Rest as much as possible on the plane and see if you can get some rest before the dance performances. I wish you the best and rest when you can.

If you take zolpidem for 2 weeks or longer, zolpidem may not help you sleep as well as it did when you first began to take the medication. If you take zolpidem for a long time, you also may develop dependence ('addiction,' a need to continue taking the medication) on zolpidem. Talk to your doctor about the risks of taking zolpidem for 2 weeks or longer. Do not take a larger dose of zolpidem, take it more often, or take it for a longer time than prescribed by your doctor.

Hello and hope you are doing well. Insomnia is a side effect of Amitriptyline. But you may develop tolerance to this effect. However if it persists, discuss your symptoms with your consulting doctor he may change the dose or the medications. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Yes, they just want you to heat it up first to kill any Bacteria that might be on it. For instance, I now get my subs toasted at subway.

Any of you guys have an opinion on usgae low dose to zolpidem 5mg along with 25/50mg of diphenhydramine.....does one cancel out other or issing together worse on liver or not.....?

I previously alternated between temazepam and zolpidem for sleep. I also take gabapentin. Three weeks ago I stopped temazepam and tramadol. I am taking zolpidem every night now and continue gabapentin 3x a day. I don't crave either of the meds I quit, but I have been experiencing inability to concentrate, ringing in my ears, vomiting, blurry vision, sweating, confusion, anxiety and mood swings. The symptoms wax and wane and I can't find a pattern.

I found these drugs that could possibly help. I use zolpidem and it seems to help and am trying to get restoril. This disease is destroying my career and life. Thanks very much! Acetazolamide (Diamox): Acetazolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that causes bicarbaturia and metabolic acidosis, which presumably shifts the apneic threshold of PaCO2 to a lower level.

s always important to be medically evaluated first, usually with a sleep study, to determine if there could be a physiological reason, like sleep apnea, behind the sleep disturbances that needs addressed. Once a medical problem has been ruled out, you can get down to the nitty gritty. If you think your issue could be stress, anxiety and/or depression, then it's important to address those issues with a professional. Also, there are a lot of things you can do to improve your sleep habits.

Thank you for your comments here. I recently moved to new country and they don't have zolpidem, sleeping tablet here, which believe it or not, helps me in a night panic attack. What they have given me here is zopiclon which does not work at all. I want to stop either xanax or ativan, but not sure which to stop, and trail the other off. I read someone else on this board is scared of eating when her throat feels like a lump in it, I am the same, scared I'll choke.

I am prescribed 12.5mg. of zolpidem but my insurance will only cover RX for 10mg. Is this safe to switch?

Just make sure you drink tons of water to help rid the toxins. There are certain natural vit/min you can take to help you calm down a bit and sleep..BUT most w/ds have to do there cycle. Give this time and hang on to that patience on the way. You might go threw some stages as you so called heal. Most of the healing process takes weeks to months, but this all depends on Age, Health, how many MG in one day and how many Yrs on these. We are here to help, so keep us updated.

Hi, tinnitus is known adverse effect due to ambien. 60 % of tinnitus due zolpidem is seen within a month of its use. Around 50 % patients can have severe tinnitus. Other associated symptoms are Labyrinthitis and vertigo. Tinnitus is a perception of sound in proximity to the head. The other possibilities for tinnitus are Vascular disorders including Arterial bruits, Arteriovenous shunts, Paraganglioma, Neurologic disorders Eustachian tube dysfunction, Otosclerosis and Vestibular schwannoma.

At this time I was also taking zolpidem every night. I read some stuff on zolpidem side effects and it appeared that after my surgery some of the rare side effects started cropping up. I attributed my anxiety to that. So I quit the zolpidem ct (which I probably shouldn't have) and did have a miserable few weeks, but a lot of the pains I was feeling went away. Of course new pains showed up like a back ache, which I still have.

I didn't read carefully and don't know all the patent med names, other than Ambien which I know and have some generic form in my cabinet. Trazadone is often an effective aid in sleeping, yes it is prescribed as an anti-depressant, but it is also an aid in getting to sleep if taken before bedtime. I take 50 mg, not sure it helps a lot.. my problem is staying asleep.. driven awake by unpleasant dreaming, need to urinate (old guy) and nasal congestion: dry mouth and suffocation.

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. This one does not seem to be working as well and the side effect just seem wierd Does anyone think that the new manufacturer product is inferior and has anyone experienced this?

I am a medical student and have been concerned that I should not be on zolpidem this long. Can this affect my memory (with the amnesia side effects) or will that just be for the 7-8 hours while the drug is in my system? Also are there long term effects of zolpidem? I was instructed in class that zolpidem should only be given for short term around a month. My only other medical issue is mild-moderate tourettes that is managed well.

Hello, Tinnitus is known adverse effect due to ambien. 60 % of tinnitus due zolpidem is seen within a month of its use. Around 50 % patients can have severe tinnitus. Other associated symptoms are Labyrinthitis and vertigo. You need to get an examination done from an ENT specialist and get other causes of tinnitus ruled out. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
