Good evening Debbie. I had never heard about tapering off the medication. The surgery was done and so I just stopped it. I was a crazy person......psychologically bruised and frightened. I was by myself and had no one to help me so I called my surgeons office. He about croaked.
A friend of mine did the same thing and she had a meltdown in Costco. Guess that was a real lesson also. I am sure my surgeon thought I knew better. He sure was kind and helpful.

I am on ambien as well and was told by a sleep Psychologist that never go cold turkey. It’s better to taper off week to week and vary day to day. She is the one who advised me how to use a cpap machine for I am claustrophobic. I sleep better and longer but haven’t started weening of the ambien yet (afraid too).
