How do I help?

How do I help my husband if I can't help myself? As I wrote in the post "Update" he got Ambien, and had a great night's sleep, then got back to Florida where he is in training and took the Ambien and still couldn't sleep! I don't know what to tell him! He does have high blood pressure and if he goes to the doctor's with high blood pressure, it could and probably would end his airline career. I am having an anxiety attack right now, how can I help him? I can't seem to help myself!!!

Hello BeckyK,
I am so sorry you and your husband are going through this. I do know Ambien can effect people differently and some have even complained of not sleeping at all and having more anxiety! I found this web site and I love it..its is real people talking about real side effects.

I do hope that your hubby can find some relief soon! I know Unisom and Tylenol PM work well for a lot of people too.. - Emily

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
