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.
