Ambien stopped working

I’m surprised they gave you 10 mg of Ambien and Valium together to take at night .
I can see taking the Valium in day but usually they don’t like you to mix both at once .
I was on 5 mg Ambien last few years as needed . My chronic digestive disorders got worse and worse over last 9 years. My sleeping 💤 is terrible like yours . I finally just got 10 mg Ambien , which gives me 3-4 straight sleep 💤, once I wake … my 1000’s belching and churning just goes for hours .
I take melatonin too sometimes w/ it .
It’s a vicious cycle which leads to such daytime fatigue ( then I try to lay down and I can’t nap 💤).
I also have .50 mg Klonopin to take as needed for years.
That does make me a bit tired during day ( even more tired ), but I don’t want to mix it w/ Ambien.
Then my heart palps kick up when I lay down w/ my gut too .
I’m a mess .

Rozy288, you need a new doctor. And also need to go to a gastrointestinal doctor who can hopefully help you. Get off the Ambien!! It's the WORST medication ever.....have you ever tried Lorazepam? If not, ask your doctor for it. It has helped my sleep issues when nothing else did. Mixing different benzos will cause more issues and not help at all. Yes....you need to break free from this vicious cycle....you deserve to feel good...and keep going back to your doctor until you have found something that helps/works! Good Luck to you! Praying for you.
