It says on the the medication guide that I shouldn’t take Ambien after eating, but what if I take the pill first? How long after taking it should I wait before I start eating? I want to experience the full effect.
Chosen Answer:
.Not Medical Advice.Anytime you eat before Ambien it will affect how the pill works. If you eat before you take it the effects of Ambien will be lessened and take longer to work, the same way if you eat before you drink alcohol it takes longer to get drunk and you wont be hit as hard with the alcohol. If you take the pill first and then eat after, the pill will work better but will still be effected somewhat. Try waiting an hour after you take the pill (if you plan on being up that long) because by then the food will not automatically affect the Ambien. So yeah, thats basically how it works, if you need to know anything else or have another question about exact details/etc. let me know, I wont B.S you or give you lectures like other people, just answer your questions.

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 did great on ambien,but when switched to ambien cr I started having major side effects and ended up in the hospital
Chosen Answer:
The 1st answerer has told you what means the indication
cr(controlled release). You shouldn’t have any problems with this new dispensing form, if you are taking it as recommended.
What is the justification given in the hospital? They have the clinical image and can answer better than us. Maybe(I just say maybe) it was a reaction to the ingredients of the eccipient that makes it a controlled release form? Or a bad combination with another drug that you have taken together?
What do you mean talking about major side effects?

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.
