I took a 10mg ambien last night around 11pm and want to take risperdal tonight around 730pm -8:00 , (without the ambien tonight) just worried that they could interact somehow, havent been sleeping and taking risperdal is the only thing that helps sometimes.
Also took ]codeine at 6am is there
any interaction with these drugs , being that I am taking them spaced apart?
Chosen Answer:
There is a possibility of a moderate drug-drug interaction between these drugs. However, it may not occur in everybody taking these drugs together. So you could take these medicines together but it would be a good idea not to be alone when you take the first concommitant doses, just in case you did have any CNS or respiratory depression. If after the few doses you didn’t have any adverse effects then you should be fine. If your dose goes up then please have someone monitor you again.
Please see the link below for detailed information.

I have chronic insomnia due to personal and unknown reasons… What is the best over-the-counter sleeping aid/medication for this?
Chosen Answer:
Go to the drug store and in the supplements section find 3mg Melatonin.
Take two tablets 30 minutes before you plan to lay your head down.
Melatonin is our bodies natural sleep hormone.
Taking two just jumpstarts your own Melatonin.
My wife and I have been using it for decades.

I don’t know what is the specific field to see a doctor for Insomnia. I haven’t been sleeping for the past couple of weeks.
Chosen Answer:
Insomnia is often caused by fear, stress, anxiety, medications, herbs, caffeine, depression or sometimes for no apparent reason. Make sure your bedroom is quiet and dark. Soak a tablespoon of mint leaves in a cup of water for an hour, drink every night. Check out http://useinfo-insomnia.blogspot.com/ for more info

I’m doing a research article for class and I can’t seem to find the percentage of people in the world who are diagnosed with insomnia. Does anyone know?
Chosen Answer:
Insomnia, simply put, is a sleeping disorder which is characterized by one’s inability to sleep. Insomnia occurs in 30% to 50% of the entire world population. On a higher scale, 10% of these situations are under the so-called chronic insomnia already. Truth is it affects all people in any age or gender class. It is also more prevalent in women than in men. As a person ages, the more severe the symptom becomes.

I have been struggling with insomnia for a while. I just recently started taking benadryl every once in a while for my constant sleeping problem. Now it’s gotten to the point where I feel like if I don’t take it i won’t be able to sleep. I know its not a physical problem. I am just letting my mind play tricks on me. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
Chosen Answer:
Cool temperature in the room. As little light as possible. As little sound as possible. Avoid mental or emotional stimulation 2 hours prior to sleep. Last but not least, try Melatonin.

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 notice that I have insomnia which is something that I have never dealt with before and it is making it hard for me to go to sleep. I have heard that Sleeping pills are bad because they make the body dependent on them later on but I feel like I have a hard time going to sleep.
Chosen Answer:
benadryl (diphenhydramine) is a great drug to help you sleep. It is sold over the counter (OTC) in most pharmacies. The best part is that it is non-habit forming, so your body will not get dependent on it.
Another drug to try is melatonin. Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone in the body. Taking it medicinally can help with insomnia. Do not take melatonin if you have high blood pressure (can raise BP), diabetes (can raise blood sugar), depression (can make symptoms worse), or a seizure disorder (can potentiate seizures)
One more option could be Valerian root extract. This has been shown to help treat insomnia. Do not drink alcohol with this drug, or other CNS depressants because they could increase each others effect in the body

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.
