I'll be out of Ambien after Sunday night, and can't get a new prescription until Wednesday.
I don't want to go 2 nights without any sleep, so I need to CTB Sunday or Monday.
Now with sleep obliterated, I need to take 12.5mg per night. 7.5mg to fall asleep and 5mg to get back, as I wake up most every night at 3-4 am. Taking 10 mg to fall asleep makes no difference in my waking up early. Doctor can only prescribe 10mg per night. Months ago, my friend did a doctor consult and sent me his Ambien and refill. His doctor won't prescribe anymore, and no other friends will do this. I had planned to CTB in another 8 weeks so more time to finish loose ends, etc. Very frustrating.

I'm extremely hooked on ambien, so much I took 200, 10mg tablets to CTB. I woke up the next morning like nothing happened. Not even a headache.

Have you tried Valerian root liquid (NOT pills) extract? Smells like old socks but very effective.

With all that N you have, you can use some of the excess for sleep.

Maybe a year or so ago they changed the guidelines or something (i honestly don't see how this happened and feel like my prescriber let me fall through the cracks a bit) and I had to go a full month on only 5mg after years of 10mg (which like you, only works for a few hours before having to redose) meaning.... pretty much no sleep for a month. Total hell, and I'm so sorry you're in this situation. Do you have any option of getting benzos to supplement for sleep/ would that even work for you? Maybe even lavender pillow spray or something?

Whatever you decide, you have our support. I hope you find peaceful rest, whether for the night or forever <3
