How do I get off of Ambien CR?

Question

Help!!! I'm addicted. I cannot sleep without it...

Answer 1

You might have to just go without sleep for several days without it, but you will eventually fall asleep on your own without the ambien, even if it takes a whole week. You should just quit cold turkey, flush them down the toilet, cry a little, and be prepared to not be able to sleep for from about three days to about seven, in there I'd say. Stay away from caffeine and coffee and sodas and sugar awhile, get lots of exercise, plenty of books to read. You'll be fine. You can do it and get off it if you just believe in yourself.

Hello, just wanted to let you know of a miracle pill that puts you to sleep, available over the counter, is actually very very beneficial for your health, the health of your brain and is only 3 bucks!! I had trouble falling asleep for years. I would lay in bed, and think and think and think for hours before I could fall asleep. It was literally driving me crazy!! I had tried every over the counter sleeping pill on the market and nothing helped. I turned to Nyquil and that did the trick. I had been drinking Nyquil almost every night to go to sleep until I stumbled upon this miracle sanity saving nutritional supplement named MELATONIN. And you can buy it at any GNC health food store. I advocate GNC because the melatonin they use goes through 85 different quality checks before its bottled. Buy the sublingual melatonin. The kind that dissolves underneath your tongue tastes like cherries and it’s good for you!! If you have any questions before you buy it the sales associate at GNC should be able to answer any questions you have. It comes in 1 mg, I take 2 right before bed. The only side effects are weird dreams for the first two nights if any at all. Should be taken at regular bedtimes in the evening.
God Bless
P.S. after you try it and it works don’t forget to tell others about it. You could be saving someone else’s Sanity

Talk to your prescriber about it. There are many meds that can be used for sleep aids, such as Trazadone and Vistaril.
