Arthur Dent 20 Posted May 2, 2017 I would like to know the answer to this too. Also, can you just swallow a little Ambien tablet, or must it be crushed up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pattycaketoo 133 Posted May 2, 2017 Yes I never stopped taking. I did have to crush it the first week and it made it work faster than normal. I still take it. I had the bypass btw. No problems at all. It's always better to call your surgeon of course but I don't think it will be a problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray august 7 Posted May 2, 2017 Thanks. I've been lucky day 4 and can take my meds with out crushing but I'll will ask my dr. It's just that every day I seem to have a question lol. Be well By the way got a ninja blender 39 bucks great for shakes and smoothing out the mush we have to eat if anyone wants info where let me know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has anyone taken ambien this early on I take Ambien for 7 years literally to LIVE, and sleep. I am very nervous about taking it after and sleeping. I am a CHRONIC INSOMNIA diagnosis with a racing mind syndrome at night. I have another post about this waiting for answer from anyone post op taking Ambien Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray august 7 Posted May 5, 2017 Hi after I posted I got some good feed back. I have taken ambien for a few nights with no issues Sounds like you are useing it fir more then a sleep aid. I'm sure it works for you. But be aware it is not ment to be a long term medication Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBearguy8 58 Posted May 16, 2017 Happy to report, crushing Ambien helped, and early nights with pain, and odd sleep patterns ...the Ambien got me on track pretty fast 1 pattycaketoo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
