What should you watch
for while taking Ambien?
It is recommended to visit to your doctor or health care professional for
regular checks on your progress. Ambien should be taken for a few days and
not for longer time then 1 or 2 weeks. It is recommended that you should
keep a regular sleep schedule and go to the bed at same time everyday. Do
not take the drinks which contain caffeine in the evening hours because
this can cause trouble with falling asleep. If you still have difficulty
in sleeping, consult with your doctor.
If you are taking Ambien from ma number of weeks and suddenly stop taking
it you may get unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Your doctor has to change
your regular dosing schedule and reduce it day-by-day so that it may not
affect you. It is recommended not to stop taking dose on your own. Always
follow the advice given by your doctor.
You may notice some trouble with falling asleep, after you stop taking your
Ambien prescription. This is known sometimes as "rebound insomnia".
After 1 or 2 nights, this problem goes away on its own so do not get discouraged.
Until you know how Ambien affects you, do not drive, use machinery, or do
anything that needs mental alertness. If you are an older patient then do
not stand or sit up quickly. This reduces the risk of dizzy or fainting
spells. Do not take alcohol while taking Ambien. Avoid alcoholic drinks.
Inform and consult with your doctor that you are taking Ambien, if you are
going to have surgery.
