Re: [Everything doTERRA] Ambien

I would like to suggest one more thing. I have a bottle of lavender that I put a spray nozzle on. I spray the bottom of my feet every night before bed. Now, I have to tell you that I don't like lavender, the smell especially. But I was having trouble with a restless night and I muscle tested for a lot of the oils that are supposed to help sleep and none of them worked for me. But when I tested Lavender it pulled me forward and I don't even like it.
So now I put it on the bottom of my feet and slip a loose pair of cotton socks on and I sleep like a baby. Now you may need to do some cleansing in order for you to have a positive experience but Lavender may be worth a try.

Thank you for your reply Pat. I always value your posts. I have been on the LLV for over a year now, but have not tried the DDR Prime. I use both Elevation and Balance, but not on a regular basis..I will add this to my daily routine. I have done much reading in the last few days, and some have suggested that Clary Sage 2-3 drops sublingual is for them, like liquid Ambien. It tastes terrible, but I did do this the last 2 nights, with high hopes and it did not seem to help me (or maybe it did help, and I just don't realize it because of the dire situation).  I also am diffusing Vetiver, or Lavender, or others each night (avid with diffusing)... The last 2 nights have been horrible with probably a total of 2 hrs. sleep each night (intermitantly)... Perhaps I need to do some sort of detox.  I am also practicing muscle relaxation before bedtime, and Pink Sleep Noise app. . I am looking forward to much healthier nights and days. It goes without saying, that some lessons in life cause much strife. Again, thanks for your time to reply.

You have a lot of issues to deal with, may I suggest you start the LLV along with the DDR Prime gel cap? This would begin the process of getting your body into complete balance and wellness. Also using Balance and/or Elevation on a daily basis will help with the issues plaguing you.

I have been an avid doTerra EO user for the past few years. I began suffering with severe neck pain, muscle spasms, in upper shoulder back area, migraines 4 or 5 days and nights/ week , and severe insomnia. I had C Spine facet blocks with no help. Mild Degenerative Disc disease. I have done physical therapy, occupational therapy, stretching exercises, etc. I began going to a Pain management clinic about 4 months ago for help in dealing with the day to day pain. ( I am only 50). I felt as though I was exhausting all measures with the oils, and with very little results, especially with the insomnia and neck pain. The Dr. prescribed Ambien 10 mg. 1 each night, and Robaxin ( muscle relaxer)  750 mg. 2 x's daily. I have been experiencing severe memory loss, aggressiveness, and yes, MUCH better sleep. Well, to my shock and horror, I just saw 2 separate documentaries on Ambien. They were both alarming ! For women, ( because the Ambien is metabolized much slower ) the maximum dosage is 5 mg. and recommended that 2.5 mg is suggested to begin with to see the results of the help with Insomnia before the 5 mg [maximum  dosage] is prescribed... AND, it ( Ambien ) is only to be used for about 3 weeks maximum. I have been prescribed 10 mg. for going on 4 months now ! Each time I went back to the Dr. I reported to them that I was having the side effects and that I did not feel like this was normal, and that I knew that Ambien is " habit forming" . I was told, Well, that is true, but which is worse ... no sleep or having to depend on Ambien from now on in order to sleep...?  Now, after seeing the documentaries, I want to stop taking the Ambien totally, but to no avail I am considered "addicted", and should not just stop taking the medication because of the severe  withdrawal effects... I am devastated , and embarrassed..  Has anyone had to detox from Ambien, and if so, how can doTerra EO be of help.? Very helpless, and have definitely decided that for myself, I will no longer trust that the health care of today's society ( by in large) is really concerned about the patient and the well being of that person, rather, the month to month prescriptions that are written to thousands of people daily that just keep them coming back for more ( because of the dependency that is induced) . And furthermore the high cost associated with these controlled substances causes much of the population affected by this, to exhaust all measures to obtain such drugs. Sad, sad, sad... This particular Physician even gave me an extra muscle relaxer prescription that was never even discussed with me that I had no idea was on the prescription form until I got to the Pharmacy and realized that it was there.. I am not lambasting ALL physicians by any means, however, I do feel that it is not the responsibility of the patient to know the FDA regulations of a drug as well as the long term effects. If I need a Physician in the future, I will definitely do a better job of finding out all that I can about a medication, before I just swallow a pill..and I will pray that doTerra EO will be sufficient for all of my health needs as well as those of my family and friends.. Any suggestions or help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
