Undergone Laparoscopic Removal Of Ovaries, Tubes. On Combo Motion, Tylenol. Can Take Ambien For Terrible Insomnia?
I
I had a laparoscopic Removal of both ovaries and both tubes a week ago, for a cyst on one ovary which turned out to be benign. A week later I am on combo motion and Tylenol and having terrible insomnia. I am 60 years old, well past menopause. Is this imminent and can I take ambien at night? Am becoming very sleep deprived. Pain manageable, most pain on largest of the 3 incisions. No pain lying down. Thank you.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Since your age is 60 years and you are passing through a critical pain and insomnia.
Ambien ( ZOLPIDEM 10 & 12.5 MG CONTROLLED RELEASED).
Since you have insomnia, so you can take 10 mg ambien at night .
Mild drowsy, dizziness, amnesia nausea , vomiting are the side effects, so please aware .
Good luck.
