I've searched the web and here and no really good answer. I'm taking a Sonata about 3 or 4 oclock in the morning. It does cause some jitters next day. Now I've started Sam-e and a Super Beta Complex and the Jitters are unbearable. I take some Xanax and it helps some. I can't take much and still function.
The question is ... Is it the Sam-e or the Super B Complex causing the extreme jitters or anxiety?
ve been having back pain and insomnia since my surgery 4 months and was prescribed Percocet. My surgeon told me to see a PCP for more Rx and I did. I went to a family practice with 3 doctors and 1 FNP. Two weeks ago, the FNP prescribe me indocin, benadryl, and retin-a(other). None of these medications helped with my back pain and thurday 12/23 I saw the PCP again.
Just my opinion and it has worked for me to a point. Anyway, make sure he sleeps on his back and put a pillow under his legs to keep him on his back and straighten the spine; he should be better in a couple of days but if it worsens...well, I just can't see it worsening or the doctors would have been a little more serious [I would hope but some doctors are truly less than others].
I agree about talking to the doc. You might consider melatonin, though. It's OTC, safe, and works well for some people. I've been using that off-and-on throughout treatment. Go with the lowest OTC dose, though. It's a natural compound and if the body gets too much it just ignores the signal.
Also, talk to your doc about Ambien (lasts roughly 8 hours) vs. Sonata (lasts about 2 hours).
To cut a long story short I am now on low dose a/d, one which controls my ocd, I am a mother of 3 and I work as a healthcare assistant (which involves body fluids). If someone had asked me 12yrs ago if I could have worked in this job I would have laughed - I never thought I would be able to get on with my life.
I just wanted to say get help if you can because if you leave it it will just escalate, identifying you have a problem is the first step.
It seems that every time I stop taking ambien for a few days and I'm feeling side effects. When I wake up my head is killing me, my kidneys are killing me, and I can't stop sudden movement. I have tried to stop several times though my doctors and with therapy but its like nothing works. I try to stick with it but if I have to deal with worst side effects. I can't believe I've been in this mess since '09 and I'm taking too many to even my prescriptions out.
I have went to the doctor and have gotten sleep counseling and relaxation techniques. I have been on zolpidem for around a year and it does help quite a bit but here is what I am really wondering about. 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?
3 times a week I use my indoor bicycle for 20', but before using it I take a beta blocker bisoprolol 5 as my treatment after angioplasty. Do you recommend not to take the bisoprolol BEFORE the exercise, or it does not matter ?
I am a nurse and have suffered from migraines since I was in my 20's. I am now 40 and finally went to a neurologist that specializes with migraines. I have tried every type of migraine medication(even herbal). You need to confirm that your migraines aren't related to your cycle (hormone levels) or something in your diet. There are so many different types of medications. Some work for me one week and next week they don't. I alternate my medications.
I am depressed over this as well as postpartum issues and have just been put on Celexa for anxiety and depression as well as Sonata for sleep by a recommended psychiatrist. The Sonata is too short-acthing though. I called the doc on call but he does not want to prescribe anything stronger until tomorrow, if adding melatonin and/or benadryl does not help.
I am currently wearing a holter monitor and have also worn en event monitor recently.
doctor at the office, I stayed there. I also have hypo thyroid disease. Anyway I have been with this replaced doctor for a yr and a half, I had been explaining to him that 2 vicaprofen in a 24 hour period is not sufficient he by the way had taken me off the motrin and changed my Xanax to Ativan. I also have been on sonata 10 mg for all these yrs. I was given a urine test which is pretty normal, before I took it I told him that there would prob.
