skied all day, had a couple cocktails, took an Ambien cr about an hour ago, yet i'm still 'wired'. Is it the Clariten i took?

I've been up for about 19 hours now, and I am not tired at all. I was driving for about 8 of those 19 so that might have something to do with it.

I sleep well. I wish my daughter did.

I've never had Clariten do that for me. Matter of fact, I've never had Clariten do anything for me. If you're fighting allergies and congestion, my doctor just prescribed me something new called "Palgic." I've taken half a dozen or so at this point, and they really do work. Ask your doc for some samples...

Insomnia was one of the only symptoms of my gluten allergy. Weird.

My sleep concotion consists of. A hot cup of "Tension Tamer"or "Sleepy Time" (both teas by celestial seasonings). 3mg of melatonin. That usually knocks me right out, actually either on their own will do the trick. If I really need it I might take a few Valerian root pills.

As far as Ambien the CR is time release and a little milder than regular Ambien. I made the mistake of taking one and nothing happened. So I took another. I woke up on the couch and could hardly walk to the bedroom. It was as if my legs quit working. I didn't feel right for 3 days. So I will only take the cr's. Something about the regular Ambien's that don't agree with me. They are fast acting and will knock ya out.


Try the tea with a little honey. I had a friend who had bad problems sleeping and now drinks sleepy time almost everynight. They also make a sleepy time extra, with added valerian root. It is a little hard to find though.

Try it, you never know.

good info Bro! Yeah, i only take the CR, the other i wake up wide awake after 4 hrs. I got some samples of the new non-controlled sleep aid, Rozerem, and so far, usually, it works ok. I usually cycle w/ insomnia, at times i sleep great, other times not well. The tea info you posted i'll have to try, i'm not wild about taking Ambien CR on a regular basis.

thanks again!

Good luck on the sleep problem. Mine came awhile back and the teas mentioned above, if they do nothing else, help to wind me down. I use to take melatonin but have stopped. They did nothing for me, but I heard they work for others. Having a good cigar in the evening helps me to shut off the brain and wind down. Maybe it just comes with age and children. Again, good luck!!

I took Ambien CR when I worked swing shifts. If used properly it usually does the trick. Don't need it anymore. :thumbs:
