Am I becoming addictied to Ambien crs sleep medication?
Ambien can be both psychologically and physically addictive. You are demonstrating behaviors that physicians look at for addictive tendencies. Increasing the dosage yourself, becoming irritable without the drug, and withdrawal headache are symptoms of increased dependence. Have you tried Melatonin a natural sleep aid? Do you really need it to sleep or to escape? Addiction is a very scary road to take. You are better off telling your doctor about how you feel now, even if you do not want to. It would be awful to feel you have to have a pill especially to sleep. What are you going to do when you feel you need a pill to wake up, to get energy, to relax? I am glad you asked, these are warning signs. Perhaps there is a different drug you could try, but the Ambien appears to be a little too attractive to you. Look for alternative now, while you still can.
