Suggest Dosage For Ambien And Temazepam

I was prescribed Temazapam which didnt help. so the doctor prescribed me ambien which isnt doing much either. i tried vtaking 1 ambien and half temazapam still nothing. What else is there that might work? I work in a high stress job which causes me to not be able to sleep. I also had a heart attack in april and need good sleep.

Diabetologist 's  Response
Please do not combine temazepam and ambien (zolpidem). Both are hypnotics and combining them without supervision can lead to serious problems.
I would have suggested my patient to continue only ambien 10mg daily at bedtime for a minimum of 10 days and then evaluate and decide upon further treatment.
Apart from medications, following a regular physical exercise and inclusion of yoga, proper diet and behavioural counselling can address your high stress.
Hope this helps you. Thanks.
