I Need Sleep ! Is Ambien Cr Good ? Any Suggestions ? Posted: 06-03-07 19:01pm
Hey everyone.
I know I've posted some regarding my
Insomnia but I plan on calling my
psychiatrist tomorrow to tell her the
Trazodone isn't working for me.
I've tried Lunesta (pooped out), Zyprexa
(made me gain too much weight), Seroquel
(same as Zyprexa) and a few
over-the-counter sleep aids.
I am hesistant in trying Remeron because
of the weight issues related with it and
also I have heard it's like Trazodone. And
I don't want to take over-the-counter
stuff as it messes with me after a while.
I am interested in any info on Ambien CR,
Restoril, Sonata, any other potent sleep
aids available. So please don't be shy as
I really am desperate and need some help.
And some sleep!
Thanks so much!

Do you nap during the day?
Is it that you are anxious?
I sometimes take melatonin but ambien just
made me feel drunk and I didn't like it.
I also use unisom and it has worked the
best for me without hangovers the next
day. Over the counter too.

Well, I use to have problems sleeping too
until about a month ago I was introduced
to this product called Tunguska. I bought
it off this website:
askabouttheblast.com/leowal. I am going to
buy a case of it this time around.
It does more than just calm the mind and
relaxes you. It gives the body what it
needs to function properly in all aspects
whether mental or physical.
All the best.

Hello Baby Bunny,
You have a an option here to Ask Doctor
just press it and ask any kind of
medication questions or details because
they are the one who can give you advice
about medication and its best thing to do.
Even if other member may share their
medication information but there is no
guarantee that the same medication is
going to help you or work for your
problem.
Marvin.

Trying Natural Remedies Posted: 08-21-07 01:57am
It's quite alarming to me that drugs seem
to be the answer to insomnia. One problem
is the long-term dependency and maybe
immunity to it after a while. What then?
Search for another drug? Are you going to
substitute drug after drug?
Anyone tried natural remedies - diet,
establishing a routine, breathing and
relaxation techniques, controlling your
sleep environment, controlling colors,
sounds and smells to induce a good night's
sleep?
Anyone who's interested to learn more can
PM me and I'll send you a link to try out
natural sleep remedies - I don't want post
links that might be against forum rules.

Ambien CR was ok for me and better than
anything else on the market (not over the
counter). I switched back to Ambien,
actually there is a generic form now and I
take 10 mg. I did not have problems with
drowsiness if I got more than 5-6 hours of
sleep, but that's me.
I know people who have used Ambien CR or
Ambien and have had success establishing a
sleep pattern, so I think it's worth a
shot.
Something I tried over the counter that
worked occasionally was Goody's PM.
Good luck, insomnia is our shared curse,
but don't ever give up trying something to
get a good night's sleep. If you can just
get into a pattern, it can make all the
difference in the world.
