I think I screwed up with my Pain Dr. I have been with him for almost 4 yrs. and he writes for Vicodin, and i used to take Ambien and I am no longer allowed to. But i recently had a spinal fusion, and i was left without my medication for day then week to week after the surgery , insurance, or not getting hold of the doctors, or they called into the wrong pharmacy. ( It was a nightmare ) So a friend im me hour of need help me sleep though some of the pain with Ambien. But then i got an unexpected appt sent up with my pain doctor and jumped all over it, not thinking about the dose of Ambien I took ,because it was around 3-4 prior anyway or i would have just told him on the spot but he seem rushed at this app.But I do NOT get Ambien perscriptions.
