AMBIEN sleep drug taking...

Hi All,
I know there is sleep eating, sleep sex, sleep walking, sleep talking on Ambien. But, have you ever heard of anyone taking an overdose of other medications after having taken a nightly dose of Ambien??
Thanks,
Okie

Okie, I don't see why that couldn't also happen. While on ambien, I thought about various ways to keep myself safer, but when it came right down to it, just because I wasn't remembering, or in real control (mental processes) while on ambien, I still was me and knew where I "locked up" or hid keys, meds etc. If you are having difficulty with the med, it's best to try a different one. (((hugs))) Just my (and my pharmacist's) POV

Hi,
I do think I took an accidental overdose over the weekend after a dose of Ambien at night. Gosh, I was so sick. Couldn't risk going for help because I work there and an OD wouldn't look very good on the ol' resume.

I plan to be much more careful in the future.

BTW, could not figure out how to center my siggy.
Best,
Okie

Like this:

<center></center>

type center in between < and > and at the end type a /center in between them... like this only without the spaces inbetween (if I didn't put the spaces, it would do the function of centering and not show you the information)

< center > your tag line information here < /center >

Did you hit reply to my PM? Or try to send to Sky without the _ in front of my name _Sky ??? I don't have you on ignore, so it should work!!!!

Hi Sky!!!
I was taking Ambien a few years ago after I entered the wonderful world of " change of life"!!! I wasn't getting in too
many hours of sleep, and staying up til pre-dawn everynight
was beginning to make me a pill to live with!!! lol...............
At one of my dr. visits one day, I asked him if he could give me something to "knock" me out. I was tired of being sleepless. My nerves were frayed and I was a hairball most of the time. Anyway, he said try this....this ws Ambien.
I took it ONLY as prescribed, and it was wonderful!!! I slept
like a log........but I don't look like one anymore. hahaha.....
My husband is a mouth breather and snorer....try living like that for 30 + years and still be sane???? I had kids at home so I often slept on the couch. He's too tall for the sofa
and he works and commutes everyday. So, I took punishment. Brew-ha-ha................now I sleep in my youngest daughters room. It's MINE now. I'm no longer on Ambien, that lasted about 3 mos. and then I became addicted to it. It does have that side effect. I gradually weened myself off of it as my ins. co. wouldn't pay for it any longer. It's one of those drugs that is not supposed to be used for long term insomnia. I didn't have that....my head wouldn't turn off. Race, race, race...............busy brain. Now
that I'm properly diagnosed with Bi-polar 1, I sleep in peace
again. Still in MY OWN ROOM, though.
