Ambien Withdrawal Symptoms

[[Ao...]]

Hi all

 

I am on my third cut of Ambien. (See my signature below). I have tapered from 5mgs. I have noticed on day 3 the withdrawals seem to hit. Today is day 3 and no exception .

Symptoms : crawling skin especially in my face and hands, head pressure and zaps, pins and needles , back pain and hand pain has increased 7/10 today,  freezing cold , eye pain , tired . I guess I am really used to this by ( especially after all the meds I have withdrawn from  )  now but when it comes back , its nervewracking.

 

A day on the couch for me !!!

Everything you describe are all normal symptoms of withdrawal. I know they are awful. It sounds like you are all to familiar to feeling like crap  I think your day on the couch sounds like the right thing to do. Hopefully since you are tired you may find some rest.

Thanks benzos-R-cruel.

You are right. It comes on so sudden that it takes me by surprise. I went for a walk this morning and wham...about an hour later I felt thses symptoms come on. Just carry on and accept what is.
