MemberThx all. Yeah I think Xanax is dangerous. So I was told to go slow and take half my zolpidem and then 1 gummie and eventually wean of zolpidem, but noticed I had to pee every 2 hours, I then last night took one alprazolam 0.5(xanax) and on the recs of others here, tried as mentioned, sunmed sleep gummies with CBN( says 16mg per serving and 60mg total CNB per serving.)Yep, I went to sleep on and off through the night but for whatever reason kept peeing every hour and had very strange dreams…..and basically felt awful the rest of the day, unsteady on feet and just tired. Had a pee test last week and no traces of anything so no UTI. But, a recent scan showed kidney stones,(punctate stone as well 3mm) albeit not huge and having back pain so wondered if they might be passing through, hence the numerous trips to the loo. Plus I have been taking plenty of beetroot juice which has been wonderful in getting my BP down but I read its not good if you have kidney stones.
Xanax is for anxiety and depression and I think my Doc was wrong to say I need this to sleep and then(and it says on the bottle, not to take Zolpidem within 2 hours of Xanax) the doc says I can take Zolpidem later on…..No, as a poster mentioned, will eventually send one to the funny farm. Was concerned to hear another poster could have had a serious fall due to CBD(hemp) but reverted back. Understand as need sleep. Will just try a half a zolpidem and half a gummie tonight and see. Plus, these gummies are not cheap, $2.00 each(30 in tub). However, if something works, it’s priceless.
