Aww ,glad your ok πŸ‘Œ! I must admit I thought you had drank a little, but I apologise for thinking that way. Very high dose of meds though ash , I don't sleep, I never go to bed, was awake till 4 45 am but up at 7.30 am .

My liver is fine its my chronic pain and bone degeneration that is my main issue now but I refuse to take sleepers, I would rather take on my coping strategies I learnt after 3 years of CBT and therapy from alcohol counselling.

Anyhow, I wish you a very happy Christmas ash ( I don't bother) and all the very best for the new year..

Hi Ash, I’ve taken zolpidem on occasions and 40mg is a huge amount for that particular drug. I am given 5mg and sometimes I only take a half of that cause it’s harsh on the liver. I doubt your upping the dose as you seem to be taking your recovery very seriously. I’m just surprised it’s such a high amount. Well take care and I hope you benefit from a good nights sleep. Happy Xmas.

I have been dipping in and out here, so tbh l missed your posts but SO relieved 😌 that you're moving onwards and upwards Ashley! It's a rough time of year anyway 😜 for lots of us, plus covid, politics, protests, LIVER issues, 😲 oh yeah that's all. 🀣🀣

Have a Merry Christmas dude! πŸŽ„

Glad you are okπŸ™ I had hallucinations when I took cocodamol! I saw blue turtles and they were vacuuming! What really shocked me was that they were using a β€˜Henry’ hoover that I don’t have, instead of my dyson🀣🀣🀣 I’d have been more impressed if they had been doing the ironing πŸ˜‚.

Stay safeπŸŽ„πŸ™

Hi Ash very difficult time for a lot of us so you must be feeling the pressure, sleep is a luxury that I particularly don’t get much of and it makes the nights very long but do your best to keep straight of the booze and drugs, good luck it’s hard I know but try and have as nice a Christmas and New Year as possible the wife and I are thinking of you πŸ‘πŸ€ž.

Stay Safe All

Hi I've by dipping in and out so I'm sorry I've missed your posts but I'm glad you are ok. Is the zolpidem any good? I have an hour or less sleep per night due to pain and I'm willing to try anything but not it it's really bad for my liver.

Take care and stay safe Lynne
