Hi i've been abusing zolpidem (ambien and Ambien CR) for the last year, i've maybe been doctor shopping a little and buying scripts for ambien and sonata off everyone i know who has them, it got really bad to the point where my tolerance increased so i needed WAY more of it to get the same effects, and i have dependence. I recently started Narcotics Anonymous but it doesn't help much,
I have severe anxiety since i've stopped (but ive "relapsed" like 5 times in the last 2 months and taken pills) and i can't sleep hardly at all without using the sleeping pills, when i go without i get maybe 5 hours of sleep a night and it isn't restful sleep.
I fear i've become dependent on sleeping pills, does this go away and will my body adjust back eventually/ will i ever reach the level of restful sleep again without pills if i stop using them? or is the damage like irreversible?
Also the anxiety is another issue, i've been having what might be considered Panic attacks where i breath really fast and the air doesn't help, i can't feel my lips and i get really confused so i just sit on the floor so i won't fall down. they are really scary and they happen randomly, im afraid i will have one while i'm driving. Does this stuff go away? my main fear is i've conditioned my body to need sleeping pills and i will never be the same again
