Could 10mg Dosage Of Ambien Lead To Anxiety?
What is considered a low dose of Ambien? I've been taking 10 mg for over 2 months for insomnia. I have had depression for the last three weeks (taking 10 Prozac for it) and am wondering if it is caused by the Ambien. I'm usually okay during the day but evenings are very difficult and full of anxiety.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Anxiety symptoms in evening is part of depression. In that case, you need higher dose of antidepressant. You can increase dose of prozac up to 60 mg per day after physician or psychiatrist consultation. That would help to control depressive and anxiety symptoms. You can carry on with ambien at same dose. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
