If
you are suffering from insomnia and you are looking to relieve your sufferings
by good quality sleep – Ambien is a medication of choice. It provides a natural
long lasting effect with less side effects than most other sleeping pills.
What is Ambien?
The
answer to this question can be threefold:
1) Ambien
is a nonbenzodiazepine drug acting with omega-1 GABA receptors as their
selective agonist. That is from the pharmaceutical point of view. The thing is
that previously for treating sleeping disorders opiates were used, they were
dismissed for obvious reasons, then the barbiturates. Barbiturates made you
fall asleep but the morning after you would wake up with heavy head and tired,
as if you were partying all night. This effect was caused by the fact that
barbiturates mingle with the phases of sleep. It turned out that the night
sleep is not the same and has phases – acceleration, deceleration, ups and
downs in the brain activity, phases when you see the dreams and when you don’t
(or those are different kinds of dreams that you can’t remember). Barbiturates
knock you out but they don’t guarantee the freshness the day after. The next
step was benzodiazepines. They did not interfere with the natural structure of
sleep and induced sleep deep enough and natural enough for you to feel well
rested the day after. Benzodiazepines worked with certain receptors that made
nervous system slow down. They just improved the nervous pathways that these
receptors contained so that they did their job – “slowing down” the nervous
system better, causing a person to sleep. The next step was expected to be a
breakthrough – the nonbenzodiazepines, the ones that Ambien belongs to, those
drugs worked with the same receptors that the benzodiazepines did, but more
selectively – with certain subtypes only. Selective is always better, it means
less Ambien side effects. The miracle however did not happen, as for treating
sleep disorder Ambien is just as effective as benzodiazepine Klonopin, only
with fewer Ambien side effects as advertised.
2) What
is ambien for users? Ambien is one of the z drugs. Zopiclone, zolpidem and
zaleplon were the three nonbenzodiazepine meds that were advertised as
revolutionary in their time. They had similar effects, so comparing zolpidem vs
zopiclone or ambien vs zopiclone does not make much of a sense. Z drugs were
used for professions that required precision and responsibility and required to
be well rested to perform. Zolpidem sleeping tablets were advertised as a drug
pilots would take – everyone understood pilots are responsible and have to
sleep after long sllep deprivations in unusual time zones, and if pilots buy ambien
so should we.
3) What
is ambien for insomniacs? Ambien sleeping pill is a solution for sleeping
disorders for many. Taking ambien 10 mg (zolpidem 10 mg) will not just knock
you off for a night – it will get you to fall asleep naturally.
Also
– what is abmien if you found it under another name and are not sure?
Active
ingredient for this drug is zolpidem, or zolpidem tartrate, so if you have
found something like zolpidem sleeping tablets or ambien sleeping pill – it’s
the same thing.
Where
do you buy Ambien?
Ambien
is a prescription drug and you need to consult with your doctor before taking
it. The reason for that is that insomnia can have much deeper causes than just
extra cup of coffee before going to bed. Bipolar disorder, central nervous
system disorders, altered mental status, deep psychological problems that need
to be solved and that solution can only be postponed by sleeping meds.
If
you know the underlying cause or you are sure that there is nothing wrong with
you but there will be unless you finally doze off, but you are too lazy to go
to a clinic – there is solution to that as well. Nowadays you can buy zolpidem
online conveniently in our online pharmacy. It would be good, however if your
doctor advised you previously if ambien is good for you, or you just knew your
options and could compare zolpidem vs zopiclone for example.
If
you buy Ambien online, you will be saving a lot of time money and effort.
Package gets delivered to your door or PO box and you don’t have to pay
commission to the middlemen. Compared to local pharmacies, to buy Ambien online
is much cheaper, sometimes several times cheaper.
Ambien side effects
From
people who received zolpidem 5 mg in a trial there were some confirmed side
effects: dizziness, daytime sleepiness, amnesia and headaches, but all of those
cases were noticed in less than half percent of patients. If we take a thousand
regular people – how many would have headaches or feel sleepy while pretending
to work in an office? And how many could there be if they were insomniacs? And
how many people could have lost their sleep because they thought about it too
much and had OCDs?
So
while those side effects are undoubtedly well documented and valid, the chances
of getting those side effects if you were not inclined to them before taking
Ambien are statistically irrelevant.
Ambien
dosage
It
is recommended to start with zolpidem 5 mg and see if there is a significant
improvement, if there is none – to precede with zolpidem 10 mg. It is not
recommended to use more than 10 mg per day, in elderly people even that may be
too much, so if 5 mg gets the job done – you should stay with that dose, if 10
mg does not get you to sleep – consul your doctor before taking bigger dose.
Now
that we have warned you, there are also good news. Even though zolpidem
overdose is possible and likely, it may lead to impeded mental states, even
comas, total recoveries have been documented even after taking zolpidem 400 mg
– it is 40 times more than the maximum recommended dose. Even if someone is
suicidal and took four blisters of Ambien – his or her chances for recovery are
still pretty good if the vomiting is induced and he is brought to the clinic in
time (we still don’t recommend experimenting with the big Ambien dose).
The
situation is much worse if you mix Ambien sleeping pills with something – from
alcohol to sedatives – that can cause lethal effect.
Hemodialysis
would be ineffective but there is an antidote to zolpidem sleeping tablets –
Flumazenil the wakening tablets (more often ampules). Flumazenil blocks
benzodiazepine receptors and is used to treat benzodiazepine poisonings.
Application
of Ambien
If
you have sleeping problems, namely if you suffer from waking up in the middle
of the night and are unable to fall asleep again, if you can’t fall asleep in
the first place, if your sleep is too short and you sleep too little and need
to change that – you should take Ambien sleeping pill.
Interaction
with other medicine
If
you buy zolpidem online without talking to your doctor first you might want to
read this paragraph. Zolpidem sleeping tablets should not be mixed with
alcohol, they should not be mixed with antihistamine pills or neuroleptics.
Using zolpidem tartrate together with benzodiazepine meds can increase the
risks of developing a dependency.
