That really is the pits to be dealing with...I am so sorry :( I "hope" (for want of better word!) that it truly is just a withdrawal symptom and not something longer term.
A little off topic, but not unrelated...I was out of meds (long story w/ d@mn online pharm and delivery address mix up) and resorting to supplements and homeopathic remedies. Arnica 30X for my wrist pain, but wouldn't you know it elevated my mood! (I think!) and since I didn't have Ambien, I tried the Hyland's Insomnia formula and that worked better than the Ambien (didn't wake up foggy). So, I wonder if you can take the Arnica 30X tablets for the pain since it is not an NSAID? I took 4 under the tongue every 15-20 min for the first 2 hours, and now 3-4x/day, you can go up to 8x/day. Also now taking the Hyland's Bioplasma Cell Salts for general health. I do think it has made a very noticible, positive impact. Meds finally came in today after 14 days to deliver!!! So, the week supply ran out a week ago and had to resort to alternative. I will discontinue using Ambien for the time being. Do not think this is all just a placebo.
Homeopathic is supposed to be compatible with prescription meds and not interfere. I would check to make sure, but really recommend giving the Arnica a chance to work for you. Again, really sorry you have to deal with such pain.
OH! Just remembered another thing that worked really well for me, it was an herbal supplement for inflammation...herbal doesn't always mean safe though, just make sure it doesn't act in the body the same way an NSAID does, but Inflam-Away (think that's it's new name...it used to be End Pain by Enzymatic Therapy)
