I take Clonezepam at 10PM, wake up at two-three AM with a dry mouth....have to get up and brush my teeth and drink pop. Vicodan lasts 3 hours for me. On the bottle, it sez to take one every 6-8 hours! Pris ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Even the Temazepam, which is supposed to last 6-8 hours only gives me 4-5 hours of sleep. I had a doctor and a pharmacist argue with me about that, like it's my fault it doesn't work. But that's the way it is for me with all drugs. Vicodin only lasts 2 1/2 - 3 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 I believe you. I had regular Ambian work better than the CR. And my DR said there is hardly any difference in the 2 drugs. I also think drugs work on your body cycles, too. Like a certain time a day is better for a prescribtion or supplement to work than other times. Sometimes the medical people have to see for themselves before they believe. I do know from experience most DRs will under medicate you for pain because they are afraid they may be investigated if they prescribe too many pain meds in a year. For a society that totes Advil, etc on TV all the time I am preplexed by the pain some DRs think you should be able to tolerate. My Dad had a total knee replacement and was told he shouldn't be having any pain after 10 days! Yeah, right? I saw how much my Dad was hurting. He needed pain meds and ones that worked. Excuse me I get worked up about that. Sorry. Laurie On 5/6/07, <kyrik@...> wrote: > > > I've been using Ambian. Anyone have any thoughts on that one.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 , I took Ambien until my insurance refused to cover it in favor of Temazapam. I sleep beautifully with either one. I've been taking Temazapam for years. . . If there are any side effects, I'm unaware of them. . . The body repairs itself in deep sleep . . . Without deep sleep, fibromyalgia can rear it's ugly head. Just be sure to go right to bed after taking Ambien. . . It's an amnesiac. Hugs, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
