If I get off of Ambien CR(which isn't working more than 6 hrs), can I take benadryl or advil pm instead?

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The absolute best person to ask is your doctor. They have more knowledge on the subject. Best wishes to you.

I talked to her about valerian which is a natural herb that has been proven all over even in Europe. She said I could take that along with Ambien, also that valerian wold take about a week to really start to work. so far it's been 4 days.

That is great. You might want to do some research on the web about Valarian just for your benefit. I hope and pray you will sleep well.

what about benadryl instead of ambien? I was told I could take Valerian and Ambien the same night but it has not helped. What other sleep remedies help people out here? OTC or prescription?

Have you ever tried sleep conditioning? Things like Ambien or benadryl taken long-term aren't very good for you.

Wait isnt GABA a hormone responsible for relaxation. Meaning if we have inadequate or decreased GABA levels in our body it would lead to anxiety. Correct me if im wrong
