Hello,
I have been prescribed Xanax XR 1 mg, once a day and Zoloft 100 mg. I take Zoloft regularly every morning but I try to take as less of Xanax as possible. I was also prescribed Ambien 10 mg for insomnia. I have been on Ambien for 4 months already. I cannot fall asleep without the medication. If I skip taking it, I frequently wake up through the night and sometimes I even have nightmares. Sometimes, even, when I do take it, I will get up in the middle of the night and start eating.
I have a really hard time waking up in the morning. Up until 4 pm, I don't feel like myself. I lose things, I am very clumsy and forgetful. Sometimes, I can't even focus and I feel lost. I am very cranky and get irritated so easily.
I am not a smoker, but I do use Skoal tabacco pouches. Sometimes I can't focus on anything and then I take 1/4 of Xanax and feel better.
Do you think that the reason that I might be feeling like this is due to medication? I remember once I skipped Zoloft and had the worst headache and my body was in cramps.
Please, help!
