Common Questions and Answers about Is it safe to cut lunesta in half

lunesta

Avatar n tn I want to taper off xanax. Would it be safe to take half a 1 mg. xanax with 2 mg Lunesta or would I then become dependent on the Lunesta also?
Avatar m tn Have you tried melatonin? I took it through my detox,it did work but not for awhile. It takes some time to build up in your system. I know you're so tired,I remember all to well. But I don't know if you should take the ambien? Just so many side effects with script drugs,and it wasn't prescribed for you. Or have you even tried Otc sleep aids?
2021910 tn?1339896686 It's safe. If it wasn't they wouldn't give it to you. And chances are they consulted with your Dr before giving it to you. They've given it to me before with a previous pregnancy and my kid is alive and healthy!!!
266660 tn?1189755834 Lunesta seems to work okay for me. I've only taken it three or four times (I only take it as needed and not on a nightly basis.) I was prescribed Klonopin for anxiety and sleep and she said to not take it with Lunesta (this is after I asked *her*, she didn't mention it until then.) The Klonopin seems to work as well as the Lunesta, BTW. Kevin, I've read that Lunesta and Ambien are the same "types" of sleep aids but that is all I know. I hope Ryan can clear this up for us.
Avatar n tn Trust your doctor, remember that if Lunesta does not work, or is bothersome (give it time) there are other meds yet to be tried. Good luck, and try to relax...sleep comes easier that way.
Avatar m tn t remember what they called it but was a normal thing to have on your liver and was told not to worry about it. Everything else checked out fine in the scan, x-ray and my blood, urine, and stool were all normal. Was prescribed pantoprazole.
Avatar n tn The only side effect I had was strange taste in my mouth when it started to kick in. But I would fall asleep and STAY asleep for 7 to 8 hours. When I wake up, Im wide awke and feel rested. If not, after the first 3 nights of not sleeping I would have been in the hospital because I felt like I was going crazy. Rozerem did not work as fast at nite and I did wake up and was sleepy in the morning. My brother in law takes it. He seems to like it. But hes also not an addict of any sort.
Avatar f tn I am on week 10 of Peg and Riba. After 4 weeks my test came back undetectable. However my hemoglobin dropped to 6.3 and I had a transfusion. The doc lowered my riba to 3 a day ( 600 total ) from 6 a day as he thought the riba caused my hemoglobin to drop so low. I still take full dose of Peg. I weigh 160 now. Down from 175. I am worried that lowering the riba dose will affect my results since I was on full riba in the first 4 weeks.
Avatar m tn Why take the Acetaminophen if you do not need it? For OTC your best bet is Benadryl. If that does not work it is normal for a DR to perscribe something like Ambien or Lunesta, even with Hep-C patients.
Avatar f tn t addicted but was dependent and when it came time to taper he did cut his in half as well. In fact, he told me that it was a way of fooling himself into thinking he was taking one.
Avatar f tn I've been prescribed to citalopram and am still reducing my dosage of clonazepam(due to seizures). Is it safe to take the two together or should I wait until I'm completely off the clonazepam? I have no allergies that I'm aware of. My doctor was super busy and I forgot to ask if I should stop the clonazepam. Any help is appreciated.
Avatar f tn When I looked it up online it seems to be a bit of a controversial topic. Some say its save and others say its not especially when starting it near delivery.
Avatar f tn t recommend what amount would be safe you need to ask your doctor) it should be safe to stop, but if you are a heavy smoker you do not want to stop abruptly...this causes trauma to the systems in your body and affects the baby. Call your OB today, tell them how much you smoke, and ask if it's safe to stop cold turkey. If it's not, ask them to recommend how to cut back and quit, or ask them to recommend a smoking cessation method to help you (the patch, the gum, etc)...

Avatar m tn It is very dangerous to cold turkey of Benzos. I would say you might better better in 4 weeks however I feel the doctor can not due that and you should seek legal advice. She needs to wean you off this medication, your body has become dependent on it. You need to speak with that doctor and ask for a tapering schedule. Or I would report her for malpractice. You can die from the withdraw! You need to get yourself into a detox center and explain what happened.

Avatar m tn I've been seeing a psychiatrist and a counselor for almost 2 years now and I feel like I've made some good progress. My doctor has worked really hard to find the best medications that help with my severe depression and anxiety and my counselor has helped me with therapy to help me work through my anxiety and also my temper. I currently am using Zoloft to treat my depression and anxiety and Wellbutrin to help to counter some of the side effects of the SSRI.
Avatar f tn hello... My doc told me to go slow as well... I had a laparotomy to remove 2 10cm cycts and ovaries and tubes... at the 4th week after surgery she said to try working out, but if it did not feel right, wait another week and try again... if it still did not feel right, wait a bit more... I started back up on resistance training machines at the 5th week (not the stomach machines) and the treadmill.. then at the 7th week, the elliptical... just take it slow... I was finding myself really tired...
1059594 tn?1261323966 Isn't Opana Time Released? I know you're the doctor, but I don't think you should inform people to cut their medications in half, ESPECIALLY if they're time released as this could cause a rapid release of all the medication in turn making her more sick, or am I wrong?
