Is it possible to overdose on ambien? My brother takes this med and is depressed. ## I WANT THE TRUE SIDE EFFECTS OF AMBIEN. I'M TIRED OF UNINFORMED WEBSITES ## Yes, it would be possible to OD on this, as with any med, even Tylenol. As to the side effects, well many places will not list them all, and of course your doc or pharmacist will not tell you all of them, as legally, they are not supposed to, unless you specifically ask. The reasoning for this is because so many people are afraid to take prescription drugs and use them as prescribed, even for life threatening conditions, so they just aren't supposed to tell you more than the basics, like I said, unless you specifically ask. That is why, when anyone in my family starts taking something new, I look it up and research it m...

There's a square emBossed on the Back with an "X" in it.... ## Based on the description provided, this pill isn't listed in the prescription drug databases, so I can't find any information on it. Did you possibly find this pill somewhere or obtain it from a friend? Since the "X" is embedded in the pill, it isn't really considered an imprint, per say, and is more so classified as a "score mark or symbol". Having said that, I don't think this pill was manufactured in the U.S., since U.S. law requires that all prescription drugs have a unique imprint on the tablets or capsules so the medication can be identified by manufacturer, substance and dosage. Because this pill has no "print markings", it is going to be difficult to determine what ...

the 2 2 9on one side go around the pill & the z s on the other side are across from each other ## Hi bob, The peach/pinkish colored pill you're describing is identified as Zolpidem tartrate ER (12.5 mg).

ordered generic ambien from India. says ZOTIC on blister pack. zolpidem tablets IP. Medley Pharmaceuticals Ltd. White, oblong, blank on one side and scored on other side. Anyone have knowledge of these? ## That's a bit odd, MIMS which is a website that lists information on foreign medications in India, Indonesia and etc. lists Zotic as being a supplement that contains Glucosamine, Chondroitin and Omega 3's for joint health and as a product of Indonesia. They don't have anything else listed under the name Zotic. I'd suggest being very careful, in case they aren't Zolpidem. One of the hazards of ordering from foreign sources that aren't approved by the FDA is not knowing what you may receive. Is anyone else familiar with this product? ## I received same Zoltic blis...

I have trouble sleeping and staying a sleep. Took a temazepam 30mg and still wide awake 2 hours later. Why? ## Hello, Sue! How are you? There are a couple of possible reasons why… The first is that not every medication works for everyone that takes it, that's why there are usually several different medications available in any given therapeutic class. The next could be due to tolerance, if you've been taking this one regularly for a long period of time. Sometimes our bodies just get used to a certain dosage of a certain medication and it begins to lose its effectiveness. Learn more Temazepam details here. This is a benzodiazepine class medication, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. H...

I HAVE DARK PINK "AMBIEN" OVAL PILLS MARKED 5 mg. I HAVE HAD LIGHT PINK IN THE PAST. IS THE DARK PINK ONE THE SAME? CAN THIS PILL BE CUT IN HALF? ## Hello, Marcie! How are you?

I HAVE DARK PINK "AMBIEN" OVAL PILLS MARKED 5 mg. I HAVE HAD LIGHT PINK IN THE PAST. IS THE DARK PINK ONE THE SAME? ## can I cut the above in half? ## Hi marcie, If you got your Ambien pills from a "legitimate" drug store like CVS, Rite Aid, or Walgreens, there shouldn't be much, if any discrepancy between batches of pills from a particular manufacturer. However, it's not uncommon for some manufacturers to change the color of a pill at their own discretion without any prior notice. To answer your other question, a score line (divit) usually indicates whether or not you can cut a tablet in half. Without that, I probably wouldn't suggest doing anything to alter it - unless your doctor says otherwise. Do you notice any difference at all in how the dark pink tabl...

i want sleeping tablet i am living in bangalore without doctors prescription ## Hi Ravi, There are many different types of sleeping pills on the market that are available over-the-counter as dietary supplements and/or in the form of herbal remedies - commonly found at natural health food stores. Supplementing with melatonin is one viable option, but there are others such as essential oils (i.e. lavender), which can be great for helping a restless body/mind relax at night. I hope this advice helps! Does anyone else have some recommendations to add?

I have been taking 1/2 tab of conotril 0.5 since june 2012. With this, I was able to have 4 hours so so good sleep and 2 hours fitful very light sleep [ some days i remain almost completely awake] My Doc has said just 0.25 mg is not a sedative dose and it should not be increased. I need healthy sleep and also ultimately I want to taper it down to zero. Please give your advise ## What else have you tried to treat your insomnia? Have you tried any natural products, such as Melatonin? It can help reset your body clock, so you may begin to sleep normally. There are also many herbal preparations that can help, such as Chamomile, Passion Flower and Valerian Root. They are available over the counter in most countries, so all you'd need to do before trying something is to check with your do...

Hi there. I have just started with Cymgen and found that I cant sleep at night. The doctor advised me to take a sleeping pill for a week just so the body can get use to the Cymgen. Will this help? Will I be able to after a week, leave the sleeping pills and then still have insomnia? ## Hi, Rika! Sorry about the problem that you're having with the insomnia. However, there's really no way to say if this is going to work for you and if that side effect will wear off. And if it does wear off, it may take more or less than a week. Learn more Cymgen details here. The only thing you can really do is to try what your doctor has suggested and, if it doesn't help, talk to them again, as it may not be the right medication for you. Is there anything else I can help with?

Friend gives 2 pills got 50 deep etched into one side and nothing on the other. I was told its a sleeping pill. It has a strange odour can't describe it. Probably 5 mm give or take. Looked all over with no answer. ## Turns out that is a prescription called Amitriptyline, brand Elavil. It's a tricyclic antidepressant. It affects chemicals in the brain that may become unbalanced. Amitriptyline is used to treat symptoms of depression.

I take cymbalta for anxiety, not depression. I was wondering if it is ok to take cymbalta in the morning, have 1-2 beers over 3 hrs in the evening and take a tiny dose of ambien. I've taken ambien after a beer plenty of times and its fine. I've been taking ambien for severe insomnia for a few years. Just wondering if ambien,cymbalta, and beer would have a bad effect. Thanks! ## If you're taking Ambien, it's really best not to drink, at all. I understand that you've already done it, without any problems, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Plenty of other people have also done so, only to suddenly get a huge surprise one day, when they woke up in jail or a hospital, because they suddenly experienced an adverse reaction.

Ia Lunesta a controlled substance. Medco is only refilling it once when my doctor prescribed it for 12 months ## The reason they are doing that has nothing to do with the drug class, it actually could be due to one of two reasons: Your insurance and what they cover. Most insurance companies set up a certain list of drugs they will cover and how often and they will not allow refills on some items that they do not consider necessary for long-term use, you will need to see your doctor for a refill or have them phone one in whenever you need one. They also don't want to be laying out the money to cover regular refills every 30days on a drug that you might not be using that often or you might stop taking after awhile. Another possible reason has to do with how your doctor prescribes it, ...

can mylan 50 yellow capsule affect your menstrual cycle, I been takin them frequently for a straight month sometimes takin two for a better sleep if this throwing of my menstrual cycle? Im late 3 days ## Hello, Based on my research, the yellow capsule marked "Mylan 5050" (Temazepam) does not list any side effects that pertain to one's hormones. So I really can't say for sure what it is that might be causing a delayed period. Temazepam itself is in a class of medications called benzodiazepines. It's supposed to work by slowing activity in the brain to allow sleep. I wonder though if it could have anything to do with certain foods that you may be eating? Not many people are aware of this, but I find that dairy & meat products, as well as other types of foods (such ...

I was taking zolpidem CR/12.5mg for about 6 months. A few days ago, I came home from working an evening shift and drank one 24 ounce can of beer (officially two drinks). 3 hours later I took my usual dose of zolpidem, which I use approx 3 times each week. I really thought nothing of it at the time. I didn't use them together at the same time. I don't get high, I don't look for a buzz. I don't remember anything else. I got up at some point and took more (i assume, because the bottle was halfway gone. I don't remember doing this, it's not something I have ever done and I have always followed prescribed dosing. After going to bed, the next thing I remember is waking up 50 miles away in jail, in a county completely unfamiliar to me (i didn't know how to get there...
