Hi I have been taking 1.5 xanax at night for sleep for many many years. Works fine most of the time. At my last pdoc appointment I asked if he could prescribe me some ambien as my girlfriend from Canada was having trouble sleeping, and she ran out of her usual Toradol. He said no because they would contradict with each other. A week or so later I went to the pharmacy to pick up some other rx and the dude told me there was another script there for me. Hmm-turned out to be Trazodone. He electronically ordered it for me, but never said a word to me about it. My guess is maybe he thought about it and decided that Trazodone may compliment the Xanax. There is not much on the net as far as taking that combination together. I was wondering if anybody could shed some light on the result of taking both at the same time. Thanks
Is there a reason why you don't just call and ask your doctor? Why do you want to take it? For a high? More details would help.
It's kind of the mystery of why he prescribed it-hard to explain. I can certainly ask him, but I just did not want to. Weird. Yes it would be for the buzz. I know Traodone is supposed to knock you out pretty quickly, but I was wondering if there was those precious few moments before falling asleep that were just joyous,
Your response intrigues me. What does your girlfriend advise you? Mysteries in life are not all that exciting and can be dangerous. Joyous is an interesting word, it actually means this the emotion of great happiness and I don't think your on the right track if you think a pill will do it. My advise is to seek some help friend and soon.
No......trazodone sucks ass. It produces no buzz and it makes most people feel like shit the next day. It definitely made me feel like shit the next day. lol
Hello Porter how are you? What did you decide? Did you take it? I have been wondering if you have found that joyous feeling. When I want the joyous feeling I cuddle up with my best guy Derek. Nothing in life is better then having a great mate. You said your girlfriend is in Canada I am from Alberta, where is she and where are you? Perhaps you are just missing her? I am here to talk if you feel like it. Am out the door in a few to head to Banff we are going skiing today. Hope your day is a happy one.
precious Thank you for thinking about me. I didn't do anything the 1st night. Last night-I took my Xanax around 3am and was still awake at 5am, so I thought I give the Trazodone a shot. Well-I did fall asleep, but most likely would have anyway at 5am. No buzz (as everyone said). Woke a bit groggy. I think I will only take another one if I am having a real hard time falling asleep. That rarely happens. Sleeping happens to be what I do best, and is one of my favorite hobbies. I love to nap. The "joyous feeling" was actually something I heard on in interview many many years ago, but stuck with me. I believe it was Merv Griffin interviewing Rosemary Clooney (George's aunt) about being in rehab and waiting all day for when they gave her her sleeping pills. She said it knocked her right out, but how she adored those 4 or 5 joyous minutes before falling asleep. Now for the girlfriend, Canada and cuddling-well... I live in CT -USA, about 10 hours to where she lives in Ontario. After a crazy year I broke it off-she is not handling it so well. I do miss the cuddling very much-there is not much better-but many other factors exist. I will spare you all the details. I'm sure Derek is a very lucky guy, as you seem so nice prescious. I hope you had a blast skiing and did not get hurt. PS-Are PM's only available to paying members?
Just back and no bruises to speak of. Hey don't spare the details I am all ears and who knows maybe I can help. I wonder how old you are? I know that I am in my middle years and compared to being young I sure look at life differently. What made the year crazy? You or her? All I can say is be sure you have done the right thing as she may not be handling it well for a reason? Again just my opinion which doesn't mean much.
I'm sure your opinions are quite meaningful and helpful. As far as all the details, I'm not sure this is the correct thread. I'm sure there are more appropriate sections. However if and only if it is ok with you, I would like to PM you to discuss this matter. I think we get pm privlages 5 days after registering. If you prefer keeping it public, I will find the appropriate section. Glad you stayed safe.
Oh for sure pm me anytime or email me. I am not sure if I can put my email here or not? I think it might be better to not put it public out of respect for your ex, assuming you respect her? But that is up to you I suppose. I just know I wouldn't like if if it were me. I will attach my email but am not sure if it will work or if I am allowed, suppose we will see. sandyydess@gmail.com
Hey Porter hope all is grand your way. I am having cat dilemas today. Just popped by to say hi and check if you had posted. Cheers.
Porter how goes it? I am not sure why I am not able to pm you yet but as I said feel free to email me anytime. I hope you are well. I am so sad about Pepper, my cat and hope she will be o.k.
Porter I feel so bad with all that has been going on this week with Pepper I haven't asked you how are making out with your meds. Are you taking them both together or no? You said you did the one time but how is it going? Are you still taking both or not. I still say check in with your doctor just to be on the side of caution. Chat soon.
to the op - i dont understand. you asked the doc to prescribe YOU ambien because your GIRLFRIEND was having trouble sleeping? im pretty sure if i asked someone to prescribe me something for my girlfriend, id just get a dirty look from my dr
