Reply #13: Dangerous stuff [View All]

[Highway61]

I am so sorry you are going through this. Last November my daughter had a surgery on her neck. She was in a LOT of pain as expected and her doc put her on Ambien for sleep. After 4 weeks she stopped taking it (slowly weening from a 1/2 for a few days ...then nothing) She called me one night and was crying telling me she felt like she was crawling out of her skin. Being a nurse I knew what the score was. To make a long story short in about 7-10 days (and LOTS of fluids) she got past the withdrawl....believe me, she vowed she will NEVER take any sleeping med again! Stuff has some serious side effects.... DRINK LOTS of H2O flush and detox yourself...and remember...this WILL pass. Give it a few days. Good luck
