Hi Arememom,
I think I might finally be turning a corner. I ended up at the ER last night because I've had a migraine that will not go away and had a run-in at the pharmacy about refilling, I thought maybe something else like a huge NSAID dose would work. They ended up giving me imitrex again (I refused narcotics). So I may be back to migraine tonight...
I told him about the drug w/d, it's so funny, ER docs, my primary care told me, never see anybody again so they think stuff goes a way really fast. Anyway, apparently ambien doesn't cause w/d, just maybe a couple nights of insomnia and benzo, well that's usually over in 4-5 days. So I'm nodding, thinking, I'm going to let you treat me, okay, glad I don't have a knife wound... Anyway, he gave me a scrip for yet another migraine med, and I'm already thinking I have to go to a different pharmacy, either that or bring all my imitrex and maxalt back to my pharmacy to show them I haven't taken any of it. Pharmacy shopping for migraine med. Makes me laugh.
Anyway, they gave me compazine which knocks me out, so I slept for 12 hours last night, starting before midnight. Yes, you read that correctly, not starting at 6 am. Although I had to drag myself out of bed at noon and think could sleep for another 12 hours, I have to go to work. Today is the day of no choice. Yesterday was supposed to be that day but today, really. Pity party and/or bender is over, thank you for coming, don't let the door slap your a** on the way out. That should be my daily affirmation, keep repeating it over and over until I get off the couch.
