xanax and ambien

[CosmicG]

Hey guys I am currently prescribed .5 mgs of xanax three times daily and have been for the past two months. I have been still having trouble sleeping so after seeing my doctor today he decided to prescribe me 10 mgs of ambien at night before bed. I also take benadryl every night because I have terrible allergies right now.

In your guys opinion does this seem like overkill To be mixing these medications. Has anyone else been prescribed these drugs and what is your experience? Thank you in advance.

It is so very common Cosmic Giraffe. My advice is use them as infrequently as possible as both benzos and the z-drugs work best short term. Definitely not overkill though. Anxiety and insomnia go hand in hand.

I ended up feeling incredibly depressed the mornings after taking ambien much unlike myself. I flushed the ambien I will stick with just the xanax and benadryl.

Right if you drink toilet water. Get over it there is plenty more where that came from. It really is a bad drug I have only had bad experiences over all. Dont get me wrong it feels good at the time, but intuition tells me its bad news as do the insanely depressing thoughts that plague me the next day. No concentration moodiness and just bad feelings man. No bueno.

Xanax use seems to induce or even increase depression in a lot of people. Great for anxiety though, but it's a bit of a double edged sword.

I'm prescribed clonazepam & zolpidem. When I take the clonazepam, I don't usually take the zolpidem, but I tend to go through the kpin script in about a week
