You should never take two types of sleeping pills!

Probably shouldn't take two. Maybe check with a pharmacist or your pdoc.

I would be careful with 'playing' with these types of meds due to addiction.. they both are and our bodies will often ask for more increasing these meds are inviting more problems..x

Haveing asked the question you already know the ansewer.
you kow not to do so. ask any pharmist.
People can sleep walk & sdo things and in morning they might recall pc's & think that pc were just parts of dream.
I woke up inside Wal mart. scary part is that I drove in that state.
I'v woke fully dressed w coffee cup in 1 hand and cig burnt down to filter in the other hand.

Do Not Mix Drugs and only take meds as precribed. if med is replaced disgard prior med that was replace w another of same type of med.

I take my pm meds at 9PM on New Year Eve I had 1/2 glass of wine. the wine was mixed with sprite.
Oh golly, I couldn't stay awake then it was like I was on speed.Ya I crashed from having mixed wine w my p- meds.

Additiction comes easy.

Don't mix drugs as others have said. Having said that I know someone I was in the hospital with that her pdoc had prescribed two kinds of pills for her to sleep. One was Lunesta and the other one started with a D I believe but don't think it was a sleep medication per se. So mixing the two you are mixing is dangerous and can be addictive. Please seek your pdocs advice if ambien isn't helping you.

It might have a multiplying effect taken together. Which means you will have a doubly hard time getting off of one of them. Keep cutting back on the first medication.

If the ambiem is cutting it and helping you sleep you need to talk to the pdoc and maybe get the dose changed.

It's very dangerous to be mixing meds like you are....please call he pdoc and let him know whats going on...ox

Not a good idea. You may ask your pdoc about sineqaun however. I take tamazepam and sinequan together to conquer my sleep issues. It's an a.d. that has sleep properties.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
