ambien

[Veronica]

My doc prescribed me ambien to help me sleep because of my work hours and the stress around here. Well last night was the first time in probably a week that I took one. (only take one if I cant sleep at all. Anyways, now I feel like I am drunk. I only actully slept for 5-6 hours and My eyes cant even adjusts.

Anyone else have this problem?

that's why they say you should "dedicate 7-8 hours to sleep"
i had something.. cant think of that the name is right now prescribed after i had surgery... theres always a commercial for it... but yeah-- i always woke up feeling hungover.. and so i could only really take them either on the weekends or if i took it at like 8pm and had nothing to do with the rest of the night...
ughhh-- hate the way they made me feel

With the steroids I take, I have a really hard time sleeping. So I asked the Dr if he could prescribe me something to help me sleep, he wouldnt. He just told me to take Benadryl. Which Benadryl has been helping but Tylenol PM doesnt work on me at all.
Ive never actually taken a prescribed sleeping aid before.

So many of those sleeping peels have an addictive effect too - Dr's don't inform patients properly becuase they don't know themselves.

They are given very few details on the side-effects of any medication and they don't seem to spend the time researching it either.

Quite often too, if you phone the company that 'makes' the medication, to find out more details, you will find that they are probably just a sub-company of the actual manufacturers and that you may be passed around 3 or 4 different comapnies before you get to the real ppl you need to be speaking to - not necessarily the name on the packets of peels.

I have major problems with sleep myself - my GP suggested I take peels but I refused them. I know of other's too, who only get 2 - 3 hours sleep on sleeping peels.

Good luck V. Hope things work out soon.

I don't know if you get it in America, but Nightol is good to help you sleep and is available over the counter. Also putting lavender oil on your forehead is good too.

Yeah, you have to do a skin test first though with Lavender oil and other oils - think it tells you that with the instructions or on the bottles of oils.

I didn't like ambien....I think you should tell your doc to perscribe something else. There are a lot of meds out there that will help you deal with stress and sleep.

I have problems sleeping from time to time....but I've never taken anything for it

Yep...Benadryl is non-perscription, cheap and works. Take two before bedtime and allow 8 hours for sleep and you're good. Ambien is habit forming and is dangerous if you don't get a full nights sleep.

So Benadryl or 6 shots of Tequila will do the trick.

Nightol and benadryl are the same thing. Next time you get a chance look. Seriously no diference.
