Posted: 02/10/07 - 22:28 Post subject: withdrawal from ambian
I have been on Ambian cr for about 2 years. I want to get off of it now. I have stopped it cold turkey for 1 night now and it was pure hell. I was really sick and could ot sleep or relax. I felt like my body was in shock. I am a 53 year old female in good health. Is ther anything I can take to help me as I withdraw? Tylenot pm or benadryl? Would that even help? I do not like being dependent on this drug and wish I never started it. I do have a sleep disorder but would really like to be drug free. ANy suggestions. MY sleep disorder is just basic insommnia. I have trouble falling and staying asleep. I have been this way for about 10 years. Thank You. Katie
Sorry I don't have an answer for you - it's been a long time since you posted your question, and I hope that the withdrawal went well for you and that you've found a way to rest drug-free.
You said that you had been on Ambien-CR for 2 years -- was that every night? If not, how often were you taking them? I have an RX and want to avoid over-doing it. Thanks!
