Ambien Discussion & Q/A

Posts Tagged ‘pill’

I just smoked around half a bowl of weed and im pretty high right now. I have half a pill of ambien, and im pretty tired so would it be ok if I took it? Would there be adverse or dangerous effects? If so what are they, and if not does it ruin the weed high, or just what will it do? Thanks in advance.

Answer:

The Ambien will increase the drowsiness you are already experience, and the weed will increase the effects of the Ambien-excessive sedation, in my opinion. Its not going to get you “higher”, if that’s what you are going for-your just going to pass out!

ive been on it for about a month and a half and have found that im having major mood swings and seem to have some memory loss issues. i also CANNOT sleep without it! i didnt take it tonight and now i cant sleep at all and im extremely moody ands shakey but i want to break the addictive cycle. what do i do?!

Answer:

Yes, it can be very addictive. If you feel that you have developed a dependency on this drug, I would suggest getting help immediately before things get even worse. I did some research. Maybe this article will help you.

One does not work for me and usually two works. I hav been off of these for quite some time so I recently just got a new prescription and this is my second day and I have just taken a 3rd pill when I’m only supposed to take one…When will I feel sleepy. I don’t want to have to take anymore.

Answer:

They should start working in about 1/2 hour. Ambien is a short-acting sleeping pills which is why they make the repeat-action “CR” form.

Also Ambien can cause in some people, insomnia the following night. Best to take em once in awhile. Not for every night use.

I took 1 10g ambien at six pm and still couldn’t sleep so i took another 10 g ambien at 8 pm, and i still can’t sleep. So i was thinking of taking an Ambien CR 12.5g pill. Is this ok to do. I’m thinking third lucks the charm. Should i do this. It is 11:15 pm. any advice would be helpful.

Answer:

go ahead and call an ambulance. that is too much medicine

I don’t see the doc for 2 weeks and I only have 7 ambien left…I have insomnia realy bad and I threw up my pill after about 15 minutes of taking it…Should I go ahead and take another one, or is it already in my system ? I need to be up and ready to go in about 4 hours….Help ?

Answer:

No, dont take another because it won’t be out of your system in 4 hours for you to be wide and awake. Plus, 15 min is enough time for the pill to be digested a bit. Try and get some rest and take your dose tomorrow.

I took my pill of ambien its 12.5 mgs and i took it an hour ago and it usually kicks in like 10 mins after i take it idk why its not wroking does anybody kno something that might help it work

Answer:

Trust me, it’s working a lot more than you realize it is.

I’ve thought Ambien wasn’t working, then woke up the next morning with no memory of the prior evening too many times…

Try just laying down for 30 minutes. See what happens.

What if you overdose on Zolpidem/Ambien(sedative/sleeping pill)?
Is there any long-term health risks?

Answer:

No one really knows if there are long term health risks. You can’t exactly study this in people, and overdosing animals doesn’t always tell us what happens when people OD.

However – I have known people that overdosed on ambien, and it took them a long time to recover. They suffered symptoms similar to withdrawals from extended usage.

Doctors and scientists don’t really know what ambien does to the brain and body with regular usage, let alone over dosing. We do know, however, that long term use causes a lot of unpleasant side effects, and that withdrawals from “normal” usage can be severe and very long lasting. I would imagine that overdosing would make the side effects and withdrawals worse.

And there is always that possible that all of us that take ambien are going to die of some terrible cancer in 10 or 20 years. Weird stuff like this happens.

night what is the possibility of me getting a metered dose if the pill is not scored?

Answer:

There are different generic brands of Ambien some are scored but most of the newer brands are not. Some are really small some are a little bigger allowing you to cut them in half if you have 10 milligram. I haven’t heard of any that come in 5 milligram dosage which kinda sucks cause I only take a quarter to a half myself. I would get a pill cutter from the pharmacy which makes it a lot easier to cut them without it crumbling or having one big half and one small. That’s probably your only bet. Good luck!

I took 200mg of ibuprofen, and 500mg of acetaminophen, so is it ok for me to take a ambien pill?
because I have terrible tooth ache and a headache, i heard using both will help alot, and it is

Answer:

It is completely fine to take Ambien with ibuprofen and acetaminophen.

And if you absolutely need it you can take another 500 mg of acetaminophen (1,000 mg max) and another 200 mg of ibuprofen. And taking both are fine but if you need to keep taking both daily for more than 2-3 weeks I would see you doctor.
