How long does it take to feel better mentally? Ive been on 10 mgs of ambien per night for two years. It has given me severe anxiety in the mornings thru the afternoons. So Ive been slowly weaning off. The anxieties are so severe, I finally just stopped the ambien. No more anxieties, but for 5 days now, no sleep and severe bouts of crying and slight body tremors. Im also on 30 mgs of oxy for pain, that I want to get off of, but first things first. How log will the mental pain and tremors take to feel almost my normal self again, where I can smile and enjoy life? I cant take this anymore...
