ambien

Avatar f tn How long does ambien withdrawal last? I have been off of it for 3 -1/2 months and struggle terribly w/ insomnia. I was on it for 4-1/2 months and it made me very sick with gastrointestinal problems, acid reflux, burning swellingin mouth, white tongue, etc. Doc did not diagnose, and said my symptoms were all caused by anxiety.
Avatar n tn the withdrawal symptoms are almost unbearable. It got so bad last Monday night, I tried to end my life. The Lord intervened...there is no reason I should be here. So, I have been just about dead, it feels, laying in the bed, barely able to move. I have not slept at all this entire week. Most, most, most miserable. But, I did it to myself. Any hope that this will ever feel better?
18070169 tn?1463175914 re right, a ct off ambien cr is not recommended ... or ambien i think. i believe that ambien is not a true benzodiazepine but it acts like one / is similar. getting off both is very, very difficult, and you need a lot of patience. except the eye thing, most of your symptoms sound like things i went through as well, though i was ct'ing off benzos at the same time.
Avatar f tn Hello, According to what I have understood you are talking about the withdrawal effects of Ambien. Withdrawal symptoms (such as nausea, vomiting, flushing, stomach cramps, nervousness, shakiness) may occur if you suddenly stop using this medication. To prevent withdrawal reactions, your doctor may reduce your dose gradually. Talk to your doctor and get it checked.
Avatar n tn Does anyone know how long you have to take Ambien CR to become dependant and have withdrawal symptoms? I have been taking it for a couple of weeks, sometimes not every night but at least the past week and a half every night. I am not taking it anymore starting tonight but am nervous about getting symptoms from this and I just got off of Hydrocodone. Thanks.
Avatar f tn I asked my new psychiatrist today as to how long does it take for the withdrawal effect to go away and he was very vague something like he did not know probably a week, which is of no help. Should I get another psychiatrist? I wonder. If anyone out there knows, it would help me a great deal as I have so many other health issues right now to deal with. It has been four nights and I still have insomnia and feeling so anxious.

Avatar m tn Hi everybody - Day 21 for me no Hydro. Things are looking brighter. Still have bouts of anxiety and depression and wake up about every 2 hours during the night.... I had a little run-in with Ambien along the way. Took 10mg for 12 nights then realized it was really making me crazy, and probably hurting my Hydo my withdrawal progression. Stopping the Ambien had it's own set of unpleasant withdrawal symptoms.... My Doc says I should be back to normal in about 4 weeks.
Avatar f tn all the ingredients from that product sound great... hope it works and you know... lots of patience ;) Randy, i did take a larger dose at my worst nights, i think up to 10 mg is still quite safe... you could try increasing the dose instead of the ambien and give a try. Btw, make sure that you stay in a dark room because this is how it works , good luck !
Avatar n tn Ambien addiction is a serious problem requiring treatment. The signs of ambien withdrawal are insomnia, fatigue, sweating, stomach cramps, and panic attacks. You should consult your doctor to seek appropriate professional treatment if you want to discontinue Ambien. You should not attempt to stop taking them on your own.
Avatar f tn I'm in day 5 of my second relapse in a year this relapse didn't last as long as the first maybe a few months of having to have the pk's. But I need some help my ears are bothering me and I don't recall my ears ever bothering me when I DT'd before. It feels like I'm talking/hearing with cotton stuffed in my ears. My teeth hurt and I feel so shaky. I'm so mad at myself for doing this to myself again, but I accept ut is a small part of being an addict.
Avatar m tn Hi and welcome, Ambien works the exact same way as benzos. If you looked up Ambien Withdrawal you'll find it's very rough to get off of. But I bet if you resumed your Ambien just as your doctor prescribed, it will eventually build back up in your system and let you sleep again. I have to admit, I'm like you and I second guess my doctor, but he always seems to know best. A couple of years ago I was on Ambien 10mg for just 9 months and it took me 4 months to taper off of it.
Avatar f tn m tapering off of Percs (I was on 7 and now down to 2 1/2) and I see people mention other medications (like ambien) while actually going thru the withdrawal. Since I won't have medical coverage after end of month and I am moving cross country, this will be my last visit to the doctor. Any advice on anything that is important they wished they had thru the withdrawal period? Or is there something for the restless leg syndrome? Thanks everyone!!
Avatar n tn Hi everyone, I was prescribed 3 vicuprohen a day for yrs. along with Klonopin, Ambien, Fiorocet w/coedine. I stopped taking all of them about 2 wks ago. I felt like crap. The worst part was I thought I'd come out of my skin. Every little thing, I was ready to freak. I've gotten past that part of it. But now I just feel like I have no reason to get out of bed. Just so depressed. I'm sure it's part of the mental withdrawal, but I'm really feeling sad and lost!!
Avatar f tn Kat, I don't nap. I'm tapering down on ambien . The last 2 nights I've cut 10mg a 1/4 . That shouldn't cause me to lose that much sleep. It worked the first night. I woke up and had to take tylo pm and went right back to sleep. It didn't work last night. I took 2 more tyl pm's at 5 am this morning and dozed on and off till 7;30. I'm sorry to hear how bad you've had it.
Avatar f tn I am 66 days clean off of oxy's. Here's the new problem. Since I couldn't sleep for 2 months before withdrawals, and now couldnt sleep going thru withdrawals, I asked the doctor for some kind of sleeping med. he put me on AMBIEN 10 mg's. I took it for about 2 weeks, but only cutting them in half so I was taking 5mg's a night so I could get " some sleep". Didn't want to become addicted.
10623623 tn?1414292089 I was reading another thread where you all were advising a person not to use suboxone as it will be worse to detox from, and I would like your opinions on my situation as well. I was using about 8 hydrocodone 10 mg each day for the past year. I was also abusing ambien because the hydro would cause me to not sleep, so I was taking about 6 Ambien a night, too. I was shaking and having terrible tremors from the Ambien detox, and I was beginning cold turkey from the hydro as well yesterday.
Avatar m tn Sorry for the long winded question, but I want to get all of this information out. I have been having weird sleep issues recently, and I suspect it may have been the Ambien i was taking. I have always had a slight phobia of going to sleep since what happened in the past (hypnic jerks when dozing, and being up for almost a week). Ambien is what originally allowed me to sleep. I was stable for many years, but I still had an uneasiness about sleep just by looking at my bed.
Avatar m tn So, now she is off the butalbital - cold turkey and says the withdrawal is hell. Does anyone know how long the withdrawal lasts? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar n tn How long and intense will withdrawal be if I stop 4-5 vicodin a day that I have taken regularly for months?
