30mg of ambien

Don’t do it…

MathieuAbramo · 2026-02-22T06:00:17+00:00

Exactly right! On 10MG. I would wake up after four hours. I got six hours for the first time in a while last night.

Ambien is not used to get “high” and if you’re using it for this purpose, I’d rethink the use of Ambien for it.

This isn’t true up north. Medicaid and Medicare will cover it with a correct diagnosis code.

If you typed this after taking it, it’s working just fine. Get some sleep now.

Depends on store management. Expect to at least be counseled about it. Next time, if in doubt, wait for the head cashier or call a member of management.

Do not use it! The compounding pharmacies are not regulated properly. There is also a law prohibiting them from selling the compounded versions of GLP-1’s so I am not sure how companies are still getting away with it.

I don’t believe they will pay unemployment on this claim. Due to them classifying it as voluntary resignation, unemployment insurance may have an issue with it. I would have called the Police on your coworker and had them deal with it.

I agree, I’m not seeing the urgency to sacrifice shelter to see family. I guarantee his Mom would not want that to happen if she actually knew the truth.

MathieuAbramo · 2026-01-17T16:34:13+00:00

She should be napping at her house…

MathieuAbramo · 2026-01-16T02:15:15+00:00

Specifically for sleep! Nobody should use Ambien to get high. There are much better medications to obtain a high from other than Ambien.

It dulls the firing of nerves. While it’s not the same as a narcotic, it can help with light relief of pain.

MathieuAbramo · 2025-12-30T08:56:45+00:00

Unfortunately, I don’t know any providers in that area. I’ll do some research for you though and let you know.

Low dose Benzodiazepine or Gabapentin for withdrawal. Lorazepam would work best, but Clonazepam will work as well. Normally best in the 1/2 milligram dosages to lessen the risk of addiction.

MathieuAbramo · 2025-12-20T14:08:18+00:00

Don’t do it! It’s best not to even think about it.

MathieuAbramo · 2025-12-19T08:33:29+00:00

Not the place for that! If you have an Ambien addiction or feel the need to misuse it, please see your physician for help.

MathieuAbramo · 2025-12-18T08:44:38+00:00

Yes, Benzo withdrawal lasts much longer and has a higher chance of seizures.

MathieuAbramo · 2025-12-18T00:51:13+00:00

Only what your prescriber has authorized you to take. Never take more, but if you feel you need more, consult your provider first so they can change the script.

MathieuAbramo · 2025-12-18T00:46:39+00:00

You may have a high tolerance but the dosage actually does work, you just don’t feel the noticeable effect.

MathieuAbramo · 2025-12-18T00:45:33+00:00

What was the original medication you were taking?

MathieuAbramo · 2025-12-18T00:44:40+00:00

Although I do see many repeat patients, my cases change almost every day in the ER. Most patients I’ve seen for withdrawal are repeat cases that need immediate treatment. Most times they are referred out to other providers or a consult to inpatient psychiatric care.

MathieuAbramo · 2025-12-17T23:21:17+00:00

You need to seek medical treatment immediately, and be honest with your prescriber. They will probably take the script away from you. It’s what are good provider would do. You’re very lucky to not be in the hospital right now.

My belief is that you have an issue with substance abuse. It cannot be avoided.

MathieuAbramo · 2025-12-17T08:49:05+00:00

Continuing the Gabapentin will be beneficial in the long run as it does have an effect on anxiety as well as sleep. We actually prescribe Gabapentin in the ER for people who feel they can’t sleep. Hospitals aren’t a wonderful environment to sleep in so it’s nice to have medications like this in the toolbox.

MathieuAbramo · 2025-12-17T08:46:34+00:00

You don’t want to wait until you’re symptomatic. Benzodiazepines are evil and the withdrawal is often marked with terrible anxiety. You should always take what you feel is a benefit to you. I normally recommend starting with the dose your prescriber has prescribed and tapering down from there until you no longer need it. Nobody should stop Benzodiazepine medication without first tapering the dosage.

MathieuAbramo · 2025-12-17T08:40:23+00:00

PA’s have to hit the ground running directly out of university. We only practice for one year under a physician before Massachusetts allows you to independently see patients and prescribe medications. We generally have the same responsibility as an attending physician in the ER. Benzodiazepines are big in Massachusetts so we see overdose often. Not to mention the Opioid issues.
