Ambien Question

[distanced]

I posted this here since this is where the drug brolys hang lol.


FOR ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN PRESCRIBED IT BEFORE.

My doc wants me to give it a try because I have such a horrible time sleeping and don't get enough sleep.

I'm planning on having a glass of wine or two with the dinner I'm about to prepare, then watching a movie (90min) then taking one (10mg) and going to bed.

Is it alright to have had a couple glasses of wine before taking it, and is 10mg the standard dose?

PLEASE REPLY ONLY IF YOU HAVE BEEN PRESCRIBED IT YOURSELF. Thanks

This stuff will knock you out, I would not recommend drinking heavily, but a few glasses of wine shouldn't be to bad. These are very powerful and cause some people to almost hallucinate before going to sleep, hope this helps.

I just hope I can regain a normal sleep cycle

Go to bed right after taking one. The first time it can be distrubing if you have never tried it. You lose all recall of what happens once they kick it. Some eurphoria.

Alcohol should be avoided when taking Ambien also alcohol can contribute to insomnia.

You should have experience with ambien to gain a good nights sleep. Longterm, then tend to loss effectiviness so you have to take breaks from it.

Ambien is strong enough in it's own. I really like ambien because it wears off before you wake up and you do not feel groggy in the A.M. The only problem I would have is sometimes I would wake up at 4 in the morning on it, probably when it wears off. Try not to get to used to them, you will have a hell of a time falling asleep without them.

I took half of one the other night. I had drank about six beers and I was on cloud nine. I woke on the floor next to my bed. I guess I got a good nights sleep..

I had Ambien prescribed as well. It will definitely knock you out. The problem for me was that I could only sleep about 4 hours on it. Often, I would wake up in the middle of the night, take another one, then zonk out again.....Love that shit though...I personally wont start my cycle until i have it on hand.

yeah, it doesn't give you the full nights sleep until you use it for a long while. i use half a pill and it does put me to sleep. now half a xanax (.5mg) knocks my ass out 8 hrs and more. i need another 3-4 hours to lay there. i feel xanax is a better and more effective sleep aid overall. knocks you out harder and longer. for a shorter stint of sleep, that is around 6-8 hours, ambien is the ticket. doen's knock you down as hard though. ambien is not supposed to be used for more than like 10 days to help you out. but we all seem to abuse it anyway .
