Well, I actually cut the 10mg ambien in 4 parts. So I basically took 2.5mg of ambien and half of a 3mg melatonin. It actually worked pretty well. I took ambien before all this when I was a shift worker a long time ago. When I took it then, I took a whole 10mg and it would make me sleep good, really too good. I would wake up in the morning and there would be a 2 litter Pepsi in the middle of the floor, or food left out on the kitchen counter where I had eaten in the middle of the night without remembering it at all. So that’s why I cut the ambien in small portions and used melatonin with it. I’ve read a few articles that said low dose ambien and melatonin were safe and effective, and it did work fairly well. Before the melatonin would help me fall asleep, but then I would wake back up in an hour or so. I think now with the ambien, it helps me stay asleep. I would not recommend anyone mixing sleep meds unless they talk to a doctor, but for me, I’m at the point to where I need sleep, and like I said from what I’ve researched it’s safe in low doses. Who knows? I plan to do it again tonight. Hopefully if all this is paws, I will get back to normal. I honestly don’t like taking anything. Hope you find a solution that will work for you.
