1246883 tn?1285547973 I immediately started to gain weight. And stopped the Seroquel immediately (mid Dec). I know this is one of the side effects. I gained about 5lbs. Being 5'9" and weighing 135, I felt the 5 extra pounds would come off with eating better and a few more yoga classes . But the weight kept coming. I got down to a dietary intake of about 1000 cals. But that mad no difference.
Avatar m tn More common side effects include dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue and delirium... and in rare cases, seizure. Could the reason I am having these strange feeling and light-headedness be because the the Zolpidem which put me to sleep be out of the equation? I did feel the light headed feeling when I was also on Zolpidem but the Zolpidem did put me out to sleep.

18070169 tn?1463175914 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn There is lot of mixed reaction from the users of Zolpidem to help sleep, it has done wonders in few people while few are not satisfied with its use or the side effects of the drug and its dependence. Ambien is meant for short-term use and not for years. I would like to suggest you to consult a sleep doctor and discuss the other options for alternate drugs. Take care and share your thoughts.
Avatar m tn One thing I cannot find is actual statistics stating how many people actually experience these side effects. 1in 5? 1in 10? Anyone know?? Thanks!!
480448 tn?1426948538 Things like benadryl and ibuprofen are taken without thought. They can either compound side effects of the prescribed drug and some have issues all their own. Warnings don't sound like a bad idea.
Avatar m tn Diphenhydramine will mess up your prostate long before it effects your liver. If zolpidem by itself doesn't work, you could try adding melatonin.
Avatar f tn It depends on a number of factors; the dose, the length of time on the medications; and the way that you stopped. If you only have mild symtpoms like you described,they should be all gone by the end of a week.
Avatar n tn My daughter is having horrible side effects with her Zolpidem. She is suffering from post tramatic stress and has very real nightmares. It takes several hours for her realize they are dreams. She is sleep/wake having conversations she doesnt remember and and having conversations with us that did not happen, Sleep walking, cleaning.... Is this common and should Ambien be prescribed to teens with PTS?
Avatar n tn Abuse is more prevalent in those who have been dependent on other drugs, tobacco, or alcohol in the past. Zolpidem effects can increase and intensify if mixed with other substances like alcohol and cannabis. With regular use at high dosage, there can be a risk of a severe physical dependence on zolpidem or you can have psychological dependency on that drug. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zolpidem You can work with a specialist in memory for your short term memory loss.

1218873 tn?1300091216 I need to be awake and all systems firing for that day and after a long conversation about whether I could not go, or may be fly instead of coaching it, he gave a prescription for Zolpidem sleeping tablets 5mg. I have a tendency to wake up in the middle of the night and lie in bed with leg and arm pain a bit like flu but with out the fever for several hours. The idea of the sleeping tablet is to give me a full nights sleep, so I am brighter the next day.
1201433 tn?1328997637 The insomnia is one of the worse side effects, seems to exacerbate all other side effects. Are you taking Incivek? If so, it reduces efficacy of Ambien by about 50%. My husband, who is very sensitive to Ambien, and took an occasiona 2.5 mg to sleep, had to up his dosage to 10mg during the INC portion of his treatment (upon doctor's advice, of course) Now he's down to about 5 mg. which works fine.
1564517 tn?1314346323 It is likely to cause drowsiness, dizziness, headaches and sometimes diarrhea as side effects. It should not be used with other sedatives as this is likely to cause depressant effect on the central nervous system and respiration. Warm regards.
1139187 tn?1355706647 Hi pitched tinnitus and occasional insomnia are still some of the after effects and by-products. The struggle to get off zolpidem was far worse than the tinnitus but worth it. I'm still hoping the tinnitus will stop or improve slowly.
Avatar n tn My main concern now is that they (his doctor and mother) have elevated his drug regimine to include 3 drugs that have known interactions with each other, 1 (Concerta) that is known to potentially cause sudden death, and 2 (Clonidine and Zolpidem) that are not recommended for children. Although Strattera does have some potential side effects, I believe it is by far the safest.

1910757 tn?1348683319 When I came off Sertraline there were no side effects, but with Venlafaxine the side effects of coming off it are very difficult. Like you I could not tolerate Fluoxetine either. Made me very bad. I can understand the worry about you losing weight. Is there any way you can adjust your diet to help with this? Will your doctor help you with trying to gain some weight?
Avatar f tn Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval.

Avatar m tn ve never had a reason to monitor my blood pressure, but I looked up the side-effects of Symbicort and it says changes in blood pressure can occur. There was also a warning to use caution in patients who have severe high blood pressure. As far as I can tell, there are no known interactions between Symbicort and blood pressure medicines. If you're concerned about how high your blood pressure gets after taking Symbicort, I'd talk to your doctor.
