Ambien Addiction – Where to Go for Help?

Question by chackoperformance: Ambien Addiction – Where to go for help?
I’m really having trouble getting away from taking ambien. I was doctor shopping until it all blew up in my face recently and now all 3 doctors that were writing prescriptions have threatened to tell every pharmacy in colorado not to fill out the prescriptions for it. It’s not that I was taking the drug to get high (in fact I’ve told the doctors this), nor was I dealing it. It just took larger and larger doses to work to put me to sleep and if i try to sleep with out it… well forget it. Ever since the drug came out, I have had a normal sleep schedule. Since this happened I’ve been getting about 2-3 hours of sleep a night (if that). The only other medication that worked for me was Alprazolam but it left me feeling hung over for hours the next day.

I am curious to know if its even possible to have all the pharmacies stop prescribing this medication and where to go for rehab that isn’t a religious support group?

It is not only possible for them to stop filling those prescriptions in your state, but across the US.
If you have an addiction like this, you need to go to see a psychiatrist. Call an addiction hotline (just check the yellow pages) and they will give you information on who to call or where to go for help. You can also get help through local mental health centers.
What you are doing is called “drug seeking” whether you are doing it for a legitimate reason or not. Get some help for yourself before you spiral any farther out of control. YOU ARE WORTH IT!!
