Taking ambien and oxycodone

Common Questions and Answers about Taking ambien and oxycodone

ambien

Avatar m tn the pain medicine I take makes my mind race if I'm on it around the clock. I don't take more than prescribed but I did notice that after I lowered my dose, got off it completely for a few days and then slowly started with 1 dose a day and then 2 where I'm at currently, When I was at the end of that 3 day period it's like my body "reset". I was able to get tired earlier, and able to sleep sounder.
Avatar m tn As briefly as I can recount , I have severe RLS I was originally on a drug called Requip and that augmented i.e. got worse and symptoms Spread to other parts of my body and I had to quit Taking it. When you stop Requip your symptoms increased tenfold for about two to four weeks or longer. During this time I found through research oxycodone to be an effective symptom reliever especially during this period. I found this to be true and I took 5 to 7.
Avatar n tn Also,I have been on ambien 3 or more years now and as my tolerance builts up I need two 10mg ambien to go to sleep and I only get a 3 day supply. I take 2 or more a night and run out 15 days early where I get absolutly no sleep at all. I mean it none. Drs wont perscribe 2 ambien a night and I need to get off of it. I have had chronic insomnia since I was 14 and tried everything and w/o the ambien I get no sleep.
Avatar f tn But after a few years, the oxy blocks my dopermine in the brain, and depression sets in. I was on them once before and the same thing happened. I had to detox off of them in 2003 for the same reason. Took me 3 weeks cold turkey. This time Im weaning fast, cause I hate the depression it's giving me. So, Im kinda going cold turkey but take a half every six to 12 hours to give myself some releif. The depression left after 2 days, just the anxiety of detoxing is there with detox pain.
Avatar n tn How much longer before my muscles feel normal again and I can sleep? I have been taking about 40 mg of ambien to sleep but it may be worse than no sleep. It would be nice to have have a good attitude again also. God bless all of you.
Avatar f tn I created a lot of stress with my own addictions and problems. She went to a Dr and got put on ambien and quickly learned that she enjoyed the feeling of how they made her feel. She went back and got on klonopin on top of it and that quickly became her thing. I feel like she did it thinking it would be a temporary way to show me up, almost as if to say...well you do drugs professionally, like a full time job, so I'm gonna do it. I know she would never really want to live that life.
Avatar f tn should i fill it or let it be? I have horrible pms and will need something for it when it hits! Is ambien alright to take to sleep also?
Avatar f tn Today I also realized that I have been taking Ambien (Zolpidem) on and off since I quit Trams. Could the Zolpidem be affecting me this way or is this a normal process of Tramadol healing? Today is just really bad, that is why I posted. I have such a hard time with things. For example, Before I go grocery shopping I will make a list of everything, but when I am at the store, I just walk up and down the aisles and can't even think straight. This is not normal!
Avatar m tn Diazphane is a benso My NP give it to me to help with the w/d the first week..Looks like that they also found Klonopin ( a heavy duty Benzo) Yikes!!
Avatar m tn They seem to keep you calm and really help with the cravings and side effects for some. Your not taking much so u may want to just have someone u trust taper u. I know if your like me, I have no one I can trust. LOL.. found that out the hard way. But i am trying the lyrica I have had in my pill bag for quite a while after reading that it helps alot of people, just started today, but usually by now I would b having cravings and probably have given in and taken another oxy 30.
Avatar f tn I have been having such a major problem going to bed and going to sleep!! I have taken my seroquel 400 mg., ambien, 6 mg. of melatonin....and this is just not working anymore!! What do you guys think!!? My liver feels swollen. I feel 8 months pregnant today! By the way...I am NOT pregnant!! they tested me before my liver biopsy! lol. I told Jeff, my nurse, that I have not had relations in 6-7 years. He had to test me anyway.
Avatar n tn 5 Tuesday I took one half of a Tramadol and Today the other half. (the smaller MG Tramdol) I did this to ween off of taking 10 5 mg oxycodone a day. I felt aweful Sunday and Monday but each day has seen some improvemnt. Hopefully I will fall asleep before 12AM. Last night I fell asleep at 1AM but slept all the way until 730 unlike the previous nights.
Avatar f tn I just placed a call to my doctor and i am going to ask him for a px for ambien or something like that. YOU CAN do this and this web site and the people on here are saving my life, we all care, we all were where you are and we never judge or tell lies. Good luck, if you need help we are all here!
Avatar f tn so there was a gap in time from taking the oxy and ambien. I also stopped taking the Cymbalta and think that most of my depression is being brought on by knowing I am addicted to pain medicine. As for the Propranolol...this medicine is for a fast, irregular heartbeat...but I am taking them as a beta blocker for migraines and I do have to mix them with my pain medicine. If I go just one day and don't take them, I end up with a migraine the very next day....so those I have to mix.
Avatar m tn I started anti depressants about a month ago and they are starting to work. I also have access to nurontin klonopin and ambien. will any of these help? what should I expect? I know god will be with me. please pray for me. Thank you.
Avatar f tn It has completely drained my account, given me acne, and I NEED to be done with this drug. I had a 4 year addiction to ambien (taking up to 10 a day) and have FINALLY kicked that addiciton but just replaced it with another one. It is ruining my life. I am on vacation from work for 5 days. I am going to kick this in the next week. I have about 5 pills with me (5mg oxycodone) and a few xanax. What is the best way to taper? Help please. And thank you all for your stories...
Avatar f tn I was taking 30mg 3-4 times a day and am only taking 10mg 3 times a day. Congratulations on your pregnancy and taking the steps you need to do what's best for the baby.
Avatar m tn Before I stopped taking everything recently from Oxycodone 30mg 5x a day, Xanax went from 2mg twice a day to 1mg twice a day also Dr changed me from Ambien to i believe its called Restoril because of all the issues going on with Ambien and finally Celexa 40mg once a day at bed that the Dr thought I needed but I believe my depression results from everything following my friggen accident! After 2-3 days I was so sick and my wife could see it I didn't hesitate going to the ER.
Avatar f tn At least 6-7 years at a pop and can stop it with very mild consequences. Some lack of sleep and maybe some headaches and neck/back pain but really nothing. Try OTC Advil pm or something maybe.
Avatar m tn I'm no doctor, so I definitely can't give you any medical information on Ambien, but I can relay my personal experience with it. I've been on Ambien (currently 10mg) for SEVERAL years now (5 or more). I have many chronic pain conditions, including fibroymalgia. One of the major symptoms of fibro is insomnia - which I definitely suffer from!
1568041 tn?1311615212 Does she think it's an issue? Personally,I think Ambien is a dangerous drug to be taking all the time. But,if she can't sleep and hasn't increased her dose for a year,then this is her lifestyle. I don't agree with it either but I know insomnia can be just horrible. There are other things she can take. If she wants to try it, suggest Melatonin and Valerian root. It's safe and it works for a lot of people. However,anyone on SSRI's should avoid Melatonin.
Avatar m tn Right now it's been 73 hours free of Oxycontin and Oxycodone..I was also taking 2-3 Soma muscle relaxers a night...My Doc said it was a wonder I didn't od. He put me on Diazipine, I feel like a zombie, but so far its help with WD..Is it the Diazipine or WD that are making me feel like crap? Yawning has subsided some still running nose, and had diraheaa today for the first time..Not bad though.. I havn't sleep good in 2 nights..driving my poor wife crazy!
Avatar n tn not enough to even worry about right now, though. Ambien is of course a new sleep aid and the jury is still out. People have amnesia on ambien. They go to sleep, but then wake and do silly/stupid stuff. They have no recollection of this after they awaken. One case went so far as to claim a homicide that the defendant had no memory of. That one did not work. A tolerance and dependance will develop with the zanax if used for a great length of time.
Avatar m tn It has come to a point where I need to medicate myself with several different medicines in order to fall asleep. I usually take Ambien 10 mg and I take two od those and sometimes Xanax 1 mg. I have noticed that Ambien doesnt really help much anymore. I just feel weird when I take it. Sometimes when I dont take anything to sleep and I manage to fall asleep, I have very vivid dreams and nightmares. Even after taking medicine, I dont usually fall asleep until 4 am and I am up at 8 or 9.
