> oh man i messed up the other night i took 2 ambien and it didnt put me right to sleep so i got to messing around finishing up some things around the house and then went in the restroom and took 2 trazazone and ill tell you what i sleep real good but didnt wake up til 11 the next am and then all day felt horrible i think i might have over done the brain seritonin i think thats what it is called but i will never mess up and do that again!! it scared the hell out of me.
Don't be too hard on yourself. I have been taking Imovane/zopiclone, similar to Ambien but a little longer-acting; up until recently I usually took 2 a night (15 mg) and occasionally supplemented with trazadone (50 mg). The trouble I find with the Z' family of sleep aids is that if I don't go to bed RIGHT AWAY, especially if I do something active (even playing on the computer) I don't get any help at all from them.
I have also taken 1 or 2 trazadone when I have missed the critical 20-30 min. for the Zopliclone. Like you, I get an overlong sleep with a bit of a hangover from 50-100 mg trazadone. Not everybody does, and some people take WAY more than that, but you are not alone in your experience and you haven't done any damage or done anything terribly wrong in my book.
Best,
