Hi, Im posting to older folks here who are currently addicted to ambien. Im a 21 yr old who had trouble sleeping, so I decided to go doctor visit. My doctor perscribe me ambien! It help me sleep like a baby every night. However, bad side of it I had no idea it was incredibly addictive! I too took it every night after the first dose which was a 5mg tablet and finished 30 of them in a week. Afterwards
I noticed I was waking up at the same time everynight, and had symtoms like shaking, trembling muscle through out the body, sweating,
tense feeling, and soreness all through out the body. I knew something was wrong as in addiction to it, because it pretty much was the only drug I took. So about a day after I discover I was addicted to it, I realize it could get bad if I don't kick it right away, stop the habbit.
What I did was just go cold turkey on em, I woke up at same time again that night. But I decide not to take one and just lay there for 8 hrs swaeting and feeling sore! It turned out good tho, by morning I wasn't feeling the addiction any longer, as to my body had stop wanting it. This method worked for me but it was hard, you really have to want to stop it, tell yourself mentally its gona work and train your body to stop the addiction. Now this is my suggestion, try as hard as you can to not take it at all, and if you been addicted to it for yrs, I probly would trying best you can to not take it at all, or if you don't and feel really sick, just take it but lower the dose everyday
like cut it in half and take only half. But only take the if you body can't handle the withdraws. Just lower the dose everyday and train your
to forget the ambien by lower dosage and self motivation. Also if withdraws lead to other symtoms that life treatning, seek medical attention right away. As I have read comments on here, there isn't much rehab faciltys to handle this type of addiction, so this is what I went through, what methods I have use to over come it. There is so much more to life than to be knocked out all day and night and hurting for ambien. Think of the sweet things in life you can do and put an end this nasty addiction, and go do what you love in life, school, family, work, events, etc. Pretty much what your love in life would be. Cmon guys think positive, try hard and stop. Im 21 and I stop you guys here can too. Anyways this is what I did, but try to pay attention to your body limits as to trying what I did, seek medical
attention if needed If you do try my tip and it does'nt work for you. Everyone different so it could work for some and not others. So hope this helps guys. :-P
