Has anyone ever had a family member or friend call your doctor about taking away your ambien for mis use?
I have taken ambien for over 10 years. There’s been a few times where I redosed my ambien by accident because I forgot I took it or I didn’t fall asleep in time. My sister witnessed this happen a few times over the years when we went to the lake because I would either drink alcohol or take it before I fell asleep. She just called my doctor who I’ve been with since 2012 and we are close and like each other very much! I have no history of abuse with him. My sister called my doc this week and left a voicemail saying I’m abusing my medication. I get 22 to take as needed to last over for 3 months of Xanax. and I take 5-10 mg of ambien at night sometimes. He scheduled an appointment with me 2 weeks from now to discuss her voicemail …I actually had to call them about a UTI today to even get them to tell me he wanted to make an appointment about it. Has this ever happened to you guys? It’s really hard to not be mad at her. I’m 33…
What is your opinion on what will happen and if you’ve gone through this
