What happens if you take 100mg Ambien?

Answer 1

If you take 30 mg. Ambien and you never have before, you may have two problems; the first is that if youv'e never taken Ambien before, the normal dose is 10 mg. So if you decided to triple the dose right away, you would likely get very sleepy, very fast. The 2nd thing that might occur, especially if you have never taken this medication before or you take this dose with a mixed stomach (ie other medications or alcohol). The best case scenario is you would fall asleep very quickly, and sleep solidly through the night, and upon a waking maybe having a slight hang over from the meds. The 2nd and not so good scenario is this: you take 30mg all at once you go to bed with a hopefully empty stomach (meaning you havent taking any other drugs that might interact with the ambien and make you even sleepier, this includes any alcohol.) Hopefully you would just fall into an easy slumber, but the problem is if you are not used to taking this much medication, or this much medication+whatever else you have in your system could cause your breathing to get very slow and erratic once you are asleep. As your breathing slows, so does your heart. Over the next few hours you are asleep your heart slows down so much that it cant get blood ti your brain or organs. At this poin the diaphragm would also stop working and when this happens the lungs can no long inflate and deflate. This means your lungs are no longer providing oxygen to your body or brain. Once this happens,all organs cease to function and the person would die. This is especially true if you are taking ambien by snuffing it, or injecting it. It is a miracle drug when it comes to helping a person fall asleep. But, like anything it has to be taken appropriately, or even the most benign drug can be fatal, Ambien can be given as a prescription up to 30mg. But that has to be determined by the Dr. The Dr will take into consideration if you are on any other meds and how much you drink, Hell also take into consideration how tolerant or intolerant you are to the specific medication. 30 mg is a high dose, but it is used for people with extreme insomnia and anxiety. Whatever you do, do not buy these pills on line! You never know if you are getting what you think your getting. Often these meds are made in someones bathtub, and it is :guessing" science. In other word they "think"the right ammount of the sleeping agent in Ambien is in there, but they are not really sure. If you feel you need these meds for any reason, go to your family doc. He will more than likely give it to you, and hell start you on the dose that would be most beneficial to you, It might be 10mg at bed or maybe they will prescribe the 30mg if they think it's really warranted. Just remember, they know what they are doing, and they do not want to do anything that might mean you wont wake up the next day, So do me a favor, take this route instead. Use your doc, that's what they are there for and ask for the med you need by name. Just be sure when you go home to take it for the first time that you take it responsibly; don't drink alcohol, and only take as much as they prescribe and no more. If you find that the dose you are on isn't working, then go back to the dox, and more often than not they will bump it for you, cause believe it ot not, they do really care about you, and want you to be able to sleep well~

Vertigo, nausea and vomiting can be expected if you are new to the drug. Don't exceed the 10mg dose, this drug is RUTHLESSLY habit forming and hell to detox.

PLEASE DON'T EXPERIMENT WITH IT! IT STOLE YEARS OF MY LIFE!

I just have to say that if you are using this medication responsably, it is neither difficult to detox from (as it is not technically habit forming), or habit forming, if taken in the proper way. 10-30mg at bedtime every night, does not a drug addict make. This is a very simple drug to stop using if it is being used correctly. The person who said it took years from their lives, I have to believe that she was not using it correctly and was more than likely either shooting it up or snorting it up her nose. This is not what this med was to be used for, so coming in and telling, and possibly scaring people away from a very good, helpful drug, just because you did not know how to use it properly doesnt mean that the rest of us who follow the instructions to the t should be told to stay away from something that for many people is their savior so they can fall asleep. Do me a favor, and keep those kinds of thoughts to yourselves, as you are in the rare minority of people. And scaring people away from a drug that could be hugely useful to them by saying its RUTHLESSLY habit forming, is just a down and out right lie. This is completely untrue, and I can say this from personal experience. I recently ran out of my meds and didnt have my meds for five days. There was no detox, I just couldn't fall asleep. So in the future please think about what you are saying:it is obvious you were not using these the ways they were prescribed and therefore made it hell for you to get off of, but for the vast majority of people who will ever use these meds, they will use them the way they were prescribed, and they will give us the relief we were prescribed. Do us all a favor and keep your thoughts to yourself when you are using a legal drug illegally. Because when you come on here people are reading this like these kinds of problems will happen to all of them, and its absolutely not the truth; if taken correctly there are no nasty side effects, and no difficulties in getting off of them in the long run. Please whatever you do, don't put anymore of these posts up as at this point you do not know what you are talking about, and could cause more harm than good to the people who are coming for info!

Answer 2

Within about 40 to 60 minutes depending on the person you will fall asleep.

10 mg of Ambien is a big dose for most people. I have to take 20 mg to fall asleep and my doctor cannot legally prescribe that much because the max amount allowed to be dispensed is 10 mg. I took 4 of them one night (40 mg) and I freaked out. I have no memory what-so-ever once it kicks in and I sleep walk. You have to be very careful with Ambien because it can cause you to do things you are not aware of doing. Amnesia is the biggest risk with this drug. If you do take 40 mg... make sure you have a 'baby sitter'. My sister almost burned her house down trying to make cookies at 3AM all messed up on this stuff!

Answer 3

I took three ambien. First i took one, one hour pass, another one, etc. I was sleep walking. When I woke up I had found out I had called people and talked to them. I had ground up a bottle of 60 Valium pills and drank all of them with water. There is no specific reaction to taking 3 ambien it depends on your weight and height, I am 6ft, 5in and I weigh 205 lbs. I hope that helps!

Answer 4

Normal dosages for Ambien are 10 milligrams, once per day. Studies on rats did not give a clear indication of a lethal dose. There is not enough experience with overdose events to identify a reliable LD50. That said, the estimates that are not supported by direct evidence conjecture several hundred grams or more.

What there is a great deal of data on is the combination of alcohol and Ambien. The combination causes strange and dangerous behavior. The sedative function is enhanced and people do things that get them arrested or killed or fall asleep.

Answer 5

You can over-sedate yourself, vomit and die from aspiration.

At the MOST 20mg is the maximum safe dose, and that's pushing it.
