A member asked:
Can you tell me if a person has had a brain trauma in their life is it safe to take ambien (zolpidem) and/or ativan?

USUALLY: Of course it depends on what kind of brain trauma is involved. This concern should be taken up with the prescribing doctor who may not think one is concerned.

INSOMNIA: Getting good night's sleep is important for physical & mental health. Insomnia might be due to several reasons. Check with your Neurologist. If cleared consult with a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy that helps you benefit from medication prescribed by a Psychiatrist. If uncomfortable with your Dr. seek 2nd opinion. You may need a sleep study.
