I can't sleep well at nights after surgery, should I take ambien?

I had the same issue! I have been ambiem taker for years but I after the surgery I had to crush it and it no longer worked. I went to the doctor and got a sublingual ambiem which helped. Just hitting the one month mark and able to take pills and the ambiem is working perfectly.

I really dislike Ambien, I prefer taking Xanax or just OTC Benadryl when I'm sleepless.

I've taken the lowest dosage of Ambien for about 2 years and it always worked great. No weird side effects either. But after surgery, 1/16/17, it just didn't work anymore. So my primary doc upped my dosage to a 10mg with the OK of my surgeon. Been sleeping great again and still no side effects. Maybe you should check in to this with your doctor. Sleep is a critical factor after surgery for healing and over stress reduction. I think Americans under rate the importance of good, steady sleep. Good luck and God bless you!

I had the bypass and don't have trouble at all. I crushed it for a week then started taking whole pill. Still works good. I had surgery 11/14/16

My Dr. said ok to take mine next day after surgery

My Dr. Said it would be fine to take it again. I had been having trouble falling asleep since I got out of the hospital. I had it when it was 5:30am and I was still awake. The next day I took a pill which was last night and I slept so good, I just hope I won't need them all the time now.

I had the bypass and I crushed it the first week. The only thing is it works faster than the whole form.
