does ambien show in urine? (1 Viewer)

[flapgreen]

ambien is farging gnarly. i was a participant in the axed ambien thread. it mill make you do weird ####. and if you have a drug dependency issue, i can see this morphing into something you don't want.

I will never forget one post I tried to make in the thread. I tried to concentrate so hard on what I was writing and when I was done and posted, it still made zero sense.

one of the best posts i ever made got washed away when that thread got the ax. i was the naked online gambler, with my cats dead ashes and my daughter's stuffed animals helping me. good times

I remember that.

I was on the highest. Don't remember what that was. I would take one each night. Over the course of the years I was on them, the dosage slowly increased to two a night. Then when I'd black out, probably about 10 a night. Of course, I didn't know I was taking that many.

I think I was on the 10 MG dose

 

[DA RAIDERS]

10mg i believe. but i become immune and would take more. and i would drink a lot, we're talking gmtan amounts of booze with it, as well.

 

[Scoresman]

I took 10 mg for about a 2 month span and none of this cool, wacky #### happened to me. It just knocked me out for 8 hours.

I also accidently took one at work during this time and all it did was make me incredibly groggy. I suppose I should be glad I didn't send out any crazy emails that day.

yeah I would frequently take 2-3 pills as well and purposely stay up which is when the fun began.

when taken correctly, Ambien worked great for me. I succumbed to the dark side and started to take it for other reasons.

If you are legally prescribed the drug, then you should disclose that you are taking it. I assume there is a questionnaire prior to testing asking what you are taking etc.

Idk. Its a cdl-b job driving an ambulance. I just gotmy license. Ive heard you cant drive if taking certain meds

take one and answer an emergency call and report back

ambien isn't a narcotic.

My doc said it was. She didnt want to give it to me because I have drug history......but nothing else worked

Just because something is addictive doesn't mean it is a narcotic

On second thought I think thats what she said. Didnt say it was narcotic or notIm definitely dependent on it

You should probably think about getting off of it, if this is true. I took it for over 4 years and slowly built up a tolerance. It wouldn't knock me out, but I would black out. And apparently when I blacked out, I would take more to try and make myself fall asleep. I would wake up and like 8 would be gone. Then one day I woke up in the police station and had a car that was completely smashed up. Never would have believed it would have happened to me. Up until that night, I was under the illusion that I could control it. But when it went south, it went south quick.

Only been on it 6 months. Only once have I taken 2 in a night. I take the ambien and benadryl.Im dependent on it because im a bad insomniac. I dont feel physically dependent just psychologically. I kicked heroin, crack and alcoholat the same time cold turkey so Iim not worried ambien will get me lol

Listen to the people in here. It's very addictive. It creeps up on you and then you're hooked. I'm not saying no one should take it, but it's serious stuff. It's not just another sleeping pill. I had to flush all of mine down the toilet to stop. I actually have bad sleep apnea but didn't know of it at the time.

Basically I have to choose either potentially getting hooked on ambien or not being able to lead a functional life due to my sleep habits

I've never heard of Ambien being screened for.

I've been in your shoes. It sucks.

I took Ambien for about four years. I wouldn't say that I was addicted as I stopped voluntarily and I never abused it (i.e. taking any recreationally, or combining with other drugs, etc.), but you definitely grow dependent upon it. Unless I was flat out exhausted falling asleep without it became more difficult and I found I couldn't sleep more than four hours in a night without it. What I tended to do was fall asleep without it if possible, and then when I woke up typically after four hours, I'd take one and that would get me four more hours of sleep, with no lingering effects.

I never had any of the freaky stories others have related, but my girlfriend has borrowed mine and it knocks her ### out, and she's groggy all the next day too. I can definitely see where it would mess you up if you're mixing it with stuff. On those occasions when I'd take one before bed and I'd stay up until I felt the effects, even walking to the bedroom could be a challenge. The thought of me alone in the apartment or with my young son in a fire right after I'd taken one of those was always unsettling.

I would think that even in a state of sedation your adrenaline would overpower it in the event of a catastrophe

I once fell asleep with my legs propped up on a coffee table and woke up 8 hours later with them still there. Hurt like hell

 

[Scoresman]

A lot of people take ambien and don't realize you need to go to bed immediately after taking it. I think a lot of the cases of bad #### happening are when the ambien kicks in and the person isn't in bed yet.

I didn't take it with booze all of the time. in fact the cases I highlighted above were with no booze and I was already in bed.

Maybe you should always mix your ambien with some cocktails to avoid any episodes
