Hey, I thought I was the only one who takes Abilify. I take 10 mg.  To answer your question, call your pharmacist and he could give you the side affects of taking both medications.  Also, your doctor could look it up on the computer.

Ambien's considered one of the more safe prescription sleep aides on the market at this point in time which is why you're hearing more and more about it. Part of the reason behind it is that it's more short acting than most sleep aides and you're not suppose to wake up with that groggy, hung over sensation you get with many others. None of my patients have any complaints about the medication except that it doesn't work on some of them.\n\nFor more information, you can check out their site... www.ambien.com

hello i am on efexor(venlaxafine)150mg at night and 75mg in the morning i am on lithium too which i take at night.i was on the higher dose in the morning until i went to the psychiatrist and told them about the tiredness and they chenged the tablets for the capsules and to take the higher dose at night and i have to say that i am not so tired.you would be better off asking for the capsules instead of the tablets as the tablets really tire you out.also i now take the night time dose just before i go to bed because if i take them early i cant sleep .good luck

Advair is not known to react with alcohol in any significant way such that your evening cocktails could cause a negative side effect.  The worst case scenario is that the alcohol may reduce the effectiveness of the drug.  Of course, you should avoid driving or similar activities when under the influence of alcohol, and even more so when combining alcohol with drugs.\n\nIn terms of "not waking up", you have nothing to worry about :)

The 80 milligram Oxycontin is a good one for the agonist opioids, and the 3 milligram xanax XR is a good one in the benzodiazapine catagory. For sleeping pills I'm going with the Ambien in any dosage (also a benzo)... That just about does it I guess. -beaver (Rock Island, Illinois)

I try to lay down with a cold compress on the forehead, keeping my eyes closed and noises to a minimum.  Imitrex always works for me....but taken as a last resort.  I have heard that Relpax is good too.  Feel better!

don't listen to these jackasses.\n\nBenzodiazepines Short-term Therapeutic Use:  1 to 5 days (since you only took half I would assume you're fine.)\nLong-term / Chronic Use:  1 to 3 weeks

Ambien has alot of problems associated with it that are not widely known by your doctor (but well known to users of the drug....lol).  One is that the stupid drug doesn't clear out of your system quickly like the manufacturer says it does.  You are supposed to take it and have it cleared out of your system soon after you wake up.  That's not what happens, particularly if you take it more than once every couple of weeks.\n\nWhat does happen is it stays in your system and you are stoned.  But you don't know you are stoned.  You experience memory loss and general loss of function.  You make mistakes as if you were high but don't feel high.  Very dangerous while driving.\n\nThe drug destroys your ability to maintain a normal sleep cycle is worthless as a treatment for insomnia.  A better drug, Rozerem, recently became available that has none of these problems.  However, the drug won't "force" you to fall asleep like ambien does.  Helps alot with insomnia though, with no side effects or risk (it is completely non-nacotic).

Risperdal is an older antipsychotic with more side effects. If you are already taking a mid-high dose of it like 37.5 to 50 mg every 2 weeks, and you still have some of the symptoms you can't seem to get rid of, then it is common practice to add a second agent. Seroquel is an exellent medication. It will help you sleep good. It also has some serotonin effect which will help with anxiety and depression, if you have any. 600-800 mg of Seroquel is the max, on Risperdal usually 50mg is the max, just to give you an idea of where you fall in the range.\nHope you feel better.

Don't worry, your will come down. What goes up must come down! You need a doc! I take 50 mil of serequil at night. I have episodes of severe mania also. This works for me. Before that Depakote worked well too.

The story of my life!  I often have trouble sleeping and at times no matter what I do helps.  Somethings I have tried that do seem to help from time to time.  \n\nA good round of sex. \n\nA glass of milk.\n\nExercising about 1 hour before you go to bed.\n\nThen there are medications.  I use Ambien from time to time, but it is a prescription so probably no help for tonight.  If you do decide to go with Ambien, a word of caution.  I only use them in dire circumstances.  They make me totally goofy.  I do really silly things, and often have amnesia the next day. \n\nHope you have sweet dreams tonight.  Good Luck!

Well first of all it happens as a side effect of the medications you take. My bf has schizo-affective disorder and a year ago he was on seroquel together with abilify, but i remember that seroquel made him sooooo sleepy, he was doped all the time, he could sleep any time in the day and night, it was horrible. If he wasn't getting enough sleep (what meant 13 hours per day) he was very cranky! Your side effects could be because of the seroquel too, but any hard medications makes a person feel like that. He is off seroquel and only on abilify now, but he is still a sleepyhead, not as he used to be (thank god) but still is a bit. Try talking to your psychiatrist about the problem of sleepiness, and maybe she/he reduces some of the meds that cause it. I guess there is no other way, since being doped is stronger then any wish to stay awake. However, don't try messing around the dosage or cutting any meds on your own! Please go to the doc and let him decide for the best! Good luck!

I currently take cymbalta.  I really think it helps.  The insurance companies don't want to approve it, so it takes staying on top of them.  They want to tell you how much to take, etc.  But if your Dr. talks to them, they will pay.  Now, there have been, because of insurance issues, times that I have been out of my meds.  It only takes about 3 days of not having it to notice the difference.  Depression starts quickly, and I cry about EVERYTHING!  I even woke up in tears, and that is unacceptable to me.  So, in answer to your question, it only takes a couple of days for it to work for me, and no side effects.\nGood luck to you, and I hope it works as well for you.  I take amitriptalyn with it, maybe that helps, too.  Have not tried it without the amitriptalyn.  I take it all at bedtime, that's what my Dr. said, and it seems to help me sleep better, too.  I also take abilify at bedtime.  So, just try it, I hope you have as much luck with it as I have.
