> A small dose of Compazine with the meds that caused your stomach distress may work very well. Compazine can take out the nausea, and in small doses, can even help a bit with anxiety.

>Thank you Jay. Great idea about the Compazine, I will suggest to my therapist. I'm actually trying to get off the Ambien as I've been on it for three years and feel it is time to come off. I only take 5mg a night, and this weekend began taking half of that along with one (3mg) of Melatonin. Slept great Fri and Sat nights - so I'm pleased about that. I'm hoping that I can take something during day for the anxiety (my anxiety gets worse as the day goes on) and sleep at night with nothing.
Thank you again - I will keep you all posted.
