Hi. I'm new to the forum and joining because my 'gambling for fun' over the past 25 years has taken an ugly turn the past two years. When it was for fun, it was just a nice break now and then, sometimes with a friend, occasionally on my own. I spent no more than $50 every few months. I'd buy a Scratch & Win ticket as my treat or place a small ( no more than $10 bet) on sports occasionally. It added fun to the game. I might have spent $200 per year which I could well afford.

'I'm sure that online gambling is an issue. If you have someone who is into their addiction big time, it is very difficult to stop cold turkey. I’m sure people have found another option.” Andy. UK Aquatic Imports Forum - Member Profile Profile Page. User: Is there a drug to stop gambling, is there a casino near naples fl, Title: New Member, About: Is there a drug to stop gambling &nbs. In fact, when it comes to some drugs, going cold turkey can lead to very serious health issues. National Library of Medicine reports that people with an addiction to alcohol can experience very serious withdrawal side effects when they attempt to quit use quickly.

Generally speaking, I'm very good with money and not wasteful. If I put some money in a slot machine now and then and got some playing time, I walked away relaxed and happy.
However, things changed and this past year I've realized my once upon a time pastime has become an addiction which has held a lot of power over me lately and is stealing my time away and losing me more money than I can afford. Last year I spent about $2,500 on gambling, and this year I've already
spent about $1,500. Where will this lead? No place good, I'm sure.
Recently, I won $425 at the slots at the casino and can't believe I gambled it all away. How foolish! I also spend too much on the Scratch & Lose tickets now too. I don't do much sports gambling though.

Anyhow, this has escalated to where I'm doing online gambling which has cost me lots of money and just leaves me frustrated and even angry at myself and the whole gambling system.
I don't have any dependants so I don't have guilt over cheating anyone financially. I have to quit though because I can see where this is heading. I'm going to end up poor if I don't stop this gambling.
So, my first step is coming to this forum to confess and tell you all I aim to stop cold turkey. Now!
I plan to fill my time with more useful things like phoning people I owe phone calls to, spring cleaning my place, exercise and spiritual devotions.
I'm hopeful because I'm not in too deep at this point... have no debts, still have a nice retirement fund. The other day I got to the point where I wondered if I should cut back on supporting my two World Vision children. The only thing that caused this awful thought was wanting to free up more money for gambling. Can you imagine? Sinking so low as to take money out of a hungry child's mouth so that I can play slots! That really woke me up to the fact that this is an addiction.
I miss my playing for fun days, but I'm not there anymore, so must stop totally.

Will let you know later how I'm doing.
Thanks for listening to my story. I wish you well in your quest for freedom from addiction.

Ambien is also known as zolpidem which is a sedative-hypnotic drug prescribed for insomnia. Benzodiazepine is present in Ambien which can produce withdrawal symptoms and be dangerous if a person quits cold turkey. Find out why tapering off Ambien is recommended over quitting cold turkey and how to get started.

Cold Turkey

An individual who decides to quit Ambien cold turkey may struggle with the effects. After a short period of use, Ambien has a high dependency rate with high potential for abuse. While a person may want to quit, it is recommended to do so slowly. Zolpidem leaves the body quickly once Ambien is stopped which means the body is quick to react which can be potentially dangerous. The body cannot account for the missing drug which it has come accustomed to up to that point. When a person quits cold turkey, the central nervous system is working to figure out how to behave without the drug. The intense sensations following cold turkey withdrawal are greater than with tapering. The effects are seen approximately 4 hours after last dose where withdrawal kicks in and can last a few days. A few weeks may go by before a person feels less effects. Some of these might include:

• Abdominal cramps
• Anxiety
• Convulsions
• Fatigue
• Fear
• Hallucinations
• Mood swings
• Muscle cramps
• Nightmares
• Panic attacks
• Tremors
• Sweating

Risks

Stopping Ambien cold turkey can cause dangerous side effects such as panic attacks, nightmares and insomnia which can threaten a person’s health and overall wellbeing. Withdrawal may be so uncomfortable a person takes Ambien to avoid going through withdrawal at all which can lead to relapses and potential for overdose. A plan to withdraw carefully should be created with a treating physician who understands the effects of Ambien, addiction (or dependence) and can develop strategies for coping.

Coping

While it is possible for a person to quit Ambien cold turkey, it is not recommended due to the severe side effects. The method of stopping Ambien can have adverse consequences for the long term. Withdrawal should be done under medical supervision in case complications arise during the process. It is up to an individual person whether or not to quit Ambien cold turkey but it is helpful to weigh the positive and negative consequences before deciding to quit. A doctor who is knowledgeable and knows the person well can create a plan which will allow for tapering down the drug slowly over time while monitoring the individual for any signs of distress. The key is to not quit Ambien without having a physician available who can support the person through withdrawal and provide appropriate aftercare.
