So I'm having a sleep study next week. I have been on Benzo's(3 mg Klonopin) for two years every day now. And gabapentin for the same amount of time. So i am pretty tolerant to them. Don't really feel anything from them anymore.
I don't really know much about Ambien. My doctor says it's going to work great. But I'm a worry type of person. I read somethings online about Ambien being cross tolerant with Benzo's. She gave me 10MG of Ambien for my study. After I read online about the possibility of cross tolerance I called her office and the nurse put in a note to her. But apparently she doesn't think it's a big deal so no change for now. I came here because a lot of times you guys seem to have more insight. And some doctors have told me crazy things(like Xanax not being cross tolerant with my Klonopin lol).
Does anyone have any advice or experience? I'm worried I'll get to the study and it won't make me sleep. I'm a big guy(250 pounds). I have extremely bad anxiety and I'm scared I won't be able to sleep. Even going to a regular appointment makes me shake with fear, so sleep will be a challenge. How cross tolerant are these drugs? Am I going to even feel the Ambien? Don't want a high, just sleep.
Pretty scared.
