It’s been several hours since I took the oxycodone 30mg. My doctor prescribed me the Ambien and said if it didn;t work to take 1 1/2 of a 10 mg pill. Is this safe?
Chosen Answer:
it is safe. as long as you are going to sleep you will be fine, because both of these meds will make you drowsy. hope this helps!

i am on 50mg of Pamelor which is an anti-depressant. its a low dosage and is used to prevent chronic migraines rather than depression. i’ve been having trouble sleeping lately and want to take an Ambien tonight. would the combination cause any weird problem for me?
Chosen Answer:
It shouldn’t just take one ambien, and it shouldn’t effect you in any negative way, i am on anti depressants, and was on ambien and it didn’t do anything bad.

I don’t want links to websites about insomnia or suggestions for different types of meds. I just want to know how other insomniacs like myself deal with it. How do you deal with your day at work/school? At the end of the day what do you do to help your body fall asleep?
Chosen Answer:
If you have real insomnia you either don’t go to sleep at all or you go to sleep for only a few hours.
I went through a period of about three months where I didn’t and couldn’t sleep at all. I am a single mom of three kids, full time college student, and could barely function. I had a difficult time concentrating on anything.
A friend of mine gave me sleeping pills to try but that only put me to sleep for about 3 hours.
Then a nurse friend gave me B-12 and calcium to take.
Once I got started on that I was able to get more sleep.
Some other friends helped take care of my kids while I could sleep some. After about two weeks my life starting getting back to normal.

I have already taken all the sleep medications there is. Im thinking of a sleep clinic but I heard if you have insomnia they just give you a sleep aid.
Chosen Answer:
You should try brainwave entrainment. I had long-term, crushing insomnia for years and tried all the pills and herbs but they just didn’t fix it. Brainwave entrainment uses ambient music tracks to lull your brain into producing the right brainwaves for sleep. People are right when they say you should change your lifestyle and this is part of that, because using it for a while ‘re-trains’ your brain. At this point your brain is probably conditioned not to fall asleep, so you’ll have to recondition it.
There are reviews for several options for this-one of them free-at the blog listed below.

I have to find a doctor that accepts my insurance (Humana HMO) and will help me with my anxiety and insomnia. I tried going to the website and picking a doctor at random, and he was horrible, he didn’t help at all. I don’t have time to go doctor shopping, but my symptoms are getting out of control.

I have this report to do for health class. Well, it was supposed to be on a type of disease. When I chose insomnia, I did not know insomnia wasn’t a disease or disorder, but a symptom of different diseases and diorders. I told my teacher and she told me to work it out. Can anyone help?
Chosen Answer:
“How and where did insomnia originate?” — This cannot be answered. Sorry.
Your teacher gave you good advice but you didn’t follow it. Did you run a search for “causes of insomnia”??

What Is Ambien (Zolpidem) ?
Ambien is a sedative, also called a hypnotic. It affects chemicals in your brain that may become unbalanced and cause sleep problems (insomnia).
Ambien is used for the short-term treatment of insomnia (difficulty falling or staying asleep). This medication causes relaxation to help you fall asleep.
