Hi,
I recently got prescribed Ambien.
Took 10mg and nothing happend.
At 15mgs it worked well for a week, but I think my tolerance is higher now as the last couple nights it took me hours to fall asleep after taking 15mg.
I just talked to my Dr and he said he can’t write me a script over 10mgs, so if I keep taking 15 I’ll run out early.
Although even if he could and he upped it to 20mgs, I’m sure after a couple weeks i would need even more, which isn’t good.
He recommended trying zalerian (sp?) tea in combination with 10mg ambien.
I will try that but am kind of skeptical that it will actually work.
if it doesn’t work I’m not sure what to do.
afaik ambien is the strongest sleeping pill available but it seems like if it doesn’t work at 10mg I’m shit out of luck and nothing can really be done to help my insomnia, which sucks.
I work from home and when my sleep schedule is messed up I generally feel like shit, no appetite, less energy, and I’m a lot less productive. Feel ‘cloudy’ and a lot of the time don’t even work at all.
if I could just get myself into a routine and regular sleep schedule, a lot of my problems would go away. I thought ambien would help me with this.
Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
