Hi, I just got off the phone with my doctor and i was getting some ambien from her and now she wants me to stop taking it. I have explanined that this isnt a good time because my husband has left i am in so much stress. When i go to bed my mind runs 100 mph i cant sleep i have been 4 days with only maybe 2 hours of sleep total. My body is exhausted but my mind wont give up. is there help or do i just go to another doctor and see what they can do. There is times when i feel like i cant breath, i have taken over the counter sleep aids and they make my legs crawl. i am desperate for some advice. i have nobody to talk to.

I reposted this for you in your own thread so it would be easier to follow since this original thread is so old etc.

Why did your doctor want you to stop the ambien. has it been working for you? how long have you been taking it.
I took it a while and it worked for a while.
It sounds like you have a lot of stressors, I am sorry about this. what has helped you before?
some folks meditate others say prayers during times of stress. reach into your self and find some comforting thoughts.
Be outside in nature for a while, it helps to feel grounded connected.
keep posting we are here.

i agree go to ER. you need some serious docs to have a look. there may be something simple wrong but they can treat you even with simple things they can monitor you which you cannot at home, to see that you are alright.

if you feel too upset to talk, print or hand copy out your short post from this thread. they will ask about allergies or adverse drug reactions too. i hope you find good help soon.

Dear Yankee Lady,
Go to the ER.
The doc should not stop ambien abruptly.

You need major medical attention.

Go to a new psychiatrist or go to the ER.

Good luck.
