In reply to Ambien/Zolpidem Addiction???? HELP!!!!, posted by TwstedPrixie on February 8, 2006, at 17:22:00

Thank you so much for all of your advice & replies!

Marsha you are completely correct in everything you said...I shouldn't worry about trying to fall asleep (which I know I do)...I know that my "dependency" more than anything is psychological...Just last night, I was yawning because I was actually a little "sleepy" and can you believe I immediately went upstairs and took the Ambien!! I didn't even try to see if by the miracle of God I could maybe fall asleep on my own. I'm amazed at how your mind just takes over your life sometimes :( But I know this has to be temporary...and that I just have to tough it out and have a few sleepless nights and try to make an effort to try and sleep on my own!

After reading some of your replies I will be cutting down on the dose...Lately, my conscious has told me to take 1 1/2 pill of the 10mg, which I know is not right, considering my doctor told me to take 1/2 or 1!

So again, I thank you all for your help and your advice...and I do hope to be able to write back and say that I'm falling asleep on my own :)

Note:
Gardenergirl...I wouldn't mix anything with Ambien (or any meds for that matter)...you may not know how the different components of these drugs may react with one another. Ironically enough, I work in a hospital and can see what happens when you take all these meds (which probably explains why I'm worried about this little dependency of mine)...patient's can range from just being "normal" to turning into zombies from the combinations of all the things they NEED to take. I would just stick to one really, but not for too long :)
