thread: ambien + alcohol = wake up next day at
4 in the afternoon... :)Every night I take 10 mg. of Valium about 10 PM,
and then 10 mg of Ambien around 11:15, and, if necessary, I may take another
10 mg. of either Valium or Ambien an hour later.
After 2AM,all bets are off, and I'll add another one of the above
and possibly a glass of wine. About
a year ago I had severe insomnia, and took 20 mg.
of Valium and 30 mg.of Ambien every night. The insurance
company was very unhappy with this, but after
many communications, we convinced them that that
combination was the safest of the alternatives,
and they paid for 90 x 10 mg. per month.
