If it is not a long term medication, are there any prescription sleep aids that can be prescribed for the long term.
Chosen Answer:
All of the sleep aid drugs (the benzodiazepenes and the other Z-drugs such as ambien) have addictive potential and should be taken in the short term if possible. However, this is only a recommendation and if insomnia is a big thing then the benefits may out the risk

I know it is a 10mg but that is probably the active ingredients, with the inactive ingredients maybe the pill itself weighs more. I need the actual weight of a 10mg pill.

I take Ambien to help me sleep, and 5 minutes after taking it, I will say “yes” to things I won’t remember in the morning, or do something weird. Like make phone calls and not remember the next day, or eat or go somewhere and not remember how I got there.
Chosen Answer:
Absolutely it can cause you to do things and not remember in the morning. That is a very common side effect. There have been cases where people have driven their car while in a sleep walking state. That is a good way to kill someone and get locked up for involuntary manslaughter.

Chosen Answer:
It is probably Sleep Apnea. With Sleep Apnea your heart stops and requires a huge snore or intake of oxygen while asleep this can cause you chest or heart to feel pain. It is probably pain in your chest from repeated heart stops and the huge effort to catch your breath. You need to see your doctor, he will order a sleep study which is done in a Sleep Lab. It is a very comfortable setting that you sleep in while hooked up to monitors and a technican watching from the next room. Nobody can diagnose this and there is a possiblity that it could be something else. Maybe you would want to be checked out at the emergency room to be certain that it isn’t your heart.

I was just wondering if there was any difference between the two.. I know they both work to help you go to sleep.. But is there anything else? Thanks in advance!
Chosen Answer:
Big difference. Tylenol PM has acetaminophen (Tylenol) and diphenhyrdramine (same ingredient as Benadryl). Unless you are in pain, take Benadryl or Ambien because Tylenol on a regular basis is hard on your liver. Ambien is designed for insomnia, so if you experience regularly this might be the better medicine. You could also try Sonata, or ask your doctor what will work best for you.

recovery, or has permanent brain damage taken place?
Chosen Answer:
I wouldn’t say permanat brain damage but I had a sleep study done on me for the same reason and the kinds of disease we have is very difficult and can be treated and your life can be filled again. I had sleep problems for years till I was finally sent to get tested for my sleep and I have absolutely (according to the neurologist) the worst results he had ever seen. I have absolutely no REM sleep so I don’t dream so I got put on double the FDA limit if sleep medication for my sleep disorder. My sleep was so bad that I was ever going to be prescibed GHB which is date rape drug for me to sleep. Thank God I really mean Thank God He interviened and just as I was being prescribed the drug and I was so desperate for sleep that I wanted it, God stepped in at that moment and the Dr. looked at all my meds and my medications mixed w/ GHB real name is call Xyrem was lethal so he couldn’t give it to me.
Anyway just telling you that I take medications that are double FDA and my insurance covers it because of my disorder and I have the sleep study to prove it, I now sleep. I still have insomnia sometimes I’m awake 72 hours before I sleep but I sleep now and I am very thankful. You’ll be fine if they can get you something for sleep but first you need a sleep study done.
Be well, I totally undestand this disease better than anyone I know. My husband understands it as well and it’s a serious illness to have, true insomniacs really have to struggle cause when you don’t sleep you don’t function well and I wasted a lot of years because I didn’t have sleep. I am thankful that it is very difficult to this day but it;s not like years past. You can be well again, have hope and have a good Dr. You’ll be fine again and you’ll feel brand new. No brain damage.
I have 8 typo’s spell check isn’t working sorry.

Yea Stay up 24 hours Every day and im like 14 Idk its like my body doesnt need as much sleep as other people.
Chosen Answer:
This is probably not a sleep disorder. It is much more likely to be another brain disorder, such as bipolar. People in the manic phase often experience this. Either way, you definitely need to see a doctor, since going without sleep for long periods can be very harmful to your health, physically as well as mentally!

What is Ambien (Zolpidem)?
Ambien is a sedative, also called a hypnotic. It affects chemicals in your brain that may become unbalanced and cause sleep problems (insomnia).
Ambien is used for the short-term treatment of insomnia (difficulty falling or staying asleep). This medication causes relaxation to help you fall asleep.
