Recently Answered Questions on Zolpidem

I'm a 26 yr old physically healthy male. I am on anti-depressants like desvenlafaxine, escitalopram and a hypnotic (zolpidem). I was on 200mg/day Topiramate for many months until I recently started noticing my hair was thinning & my hair line was receding. I have since then stopped Topamax completely after consulting my psychiatrist. It's been a little under a month since I stopped the drug. I apply Minoxidil-Fenesteride solution to the affected areas & take Biotin & multi vitamin capsule. Is this effect irreversible or will my hair gain its earlier strength & quality?

I am currently on Latuda 60mg daily, Bupropion HCL HL 300mg daily, along with Ativan 1mg 3 times daily as needed and Zolpidem TART ER 12.5i time at bedtime. I have looked at the side effects from all these meds and there are some consistent issues I'm dealing with. Light headed, leg pains, weak or tired, facial movement (involuntary) stiff joints muscles, excessive sweeting, can't sleep, can't sit still, very thirsty all the time, erectile disfunction and general overall lack of interest in sex.

Dear Doctor, I suffered a panic attack 4 months back. this bever happened before so I went crazy thinking about it. Searched through internet and became anxious about my condition. I became hypochondriac . visited many doctors - gastro in particular. blood tests and ultrasound revealed nothing. I couldnt sleep and experienced vivid dreams. I visited a psychiatrist who advised Paxi CR and clonazepam. I took it for 3 months and did feel its positive effects. One day I decided to quit it cold turkey and have been experiencing withdrawal effects. Zaps and insomnia. mind is very heavy. I want to ask- Is it likely to go away? I Dont want to take this medicine. I want to be normal again. I am currently on normaxin for stomach spasms and zolpidem for sleeplessness. plz advise

I have delayed sleep phase disorder(Usually falling sleeping between 6am-8am). Since the last 8 days I have been taking zolfresh 10 (zolpidem) just before going to bed at 10:30 pm. Surprisingly I am able to fall asleep in 30-40 min of going to bed. But I wake up 1.5-2 hrs after falling asleep then after 1-3 hrs of being awake I am able to fall asleep again..but then again after 1.5-2 hrs I wake for somewhere around 1-3 hrs and fall back asleep. Some days I am able to sleep for 5 hrs(actual sleep) and some days I sleep for 13 hrs(actual sleep). So basically zolfresh helps me fall asleep quickly and in the night but I keep waking up every 2 hrs. How can I have continuous uninterrupted deep sleep?Also some sleep hygiene suggestions would be helpful.

Was on 6mg Ativan(12pm,4pm and 9pm).(From november 2019 to this April, before that 4mg ativan along with 40mg inderal self medicated since NOVEMBER 2019). Went to a dr this April to taper the med. Dr was angry because I didn't tapered the med as fast as he wanted.So he told me not to come and left me in half stage of tapering. I can't take serotonin reuptake drug now (SSRI) which makes me hyper excited.(Was prescribed dulexene and paroxetine and nexito at one point to support benzodiazepine tapering which made my excitement levels over the roof)Went to a general dr he presc me zolpidem 5mg as I was feeling unsettled in the morning.It had terrible withdrawal had to stop it after taking it for 8 DAYS.STOPPING IT CAUSED SEVERE TIGHT HEADEDNESS. CURRENTLY TAKING VALIUM 5MG AFTER WAKING UP. AND ATIVAN 2MG, OPIPRAMOL 50MG AT NIGHT. ALSO I WAS TOLD TO TAKE CLONAZEPAM 0.5 AT NIGHT at Aug starting but had to stop it because it was too sedating.I'm unsettled now with any benzodiazepine/antidepr

I don't know what's my root cause. ENT said there is a possible blockage of in-ear tube. When I read why it happens it's like I have done all of them. 1. I have used earphones everyday for long hours in the last 10 months, thanks to WFH. 2. I have been smoking. 3. I have sleep apnea for a long time. 4. I have taken zolpidem that can cause it. 5. I clinched my jaw the night it started as per a technique suggested by doctor to help relax and sleep. 6. I was stressed and struggled with anxiety. 7. It's cold where I stay and I can't tolerate cold weather. 8. I sleep in a wrong position - on my belly. All 8 can cause T. I don't know what caused mine. Taking gingko biloba + vitb12. But its horrible at night. I just cant sleep. It feels so loud in the head, music not masking it. Ears and jaws pain when I lie down. What do i do to sleep at night? Should i try ayurvedic sleep inducers?
