Guest guest Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 , Just get into bed then take the pill. relax and hopefully it will help you. I hope you have read up on prednisone. not good forIPF. Don't be to afraid of the sleeping pill.. I used to not sleep even with them.. hate that stuff. Take care of you. Love and Prayers, Peggy IPF 2004, FloridaWorry looks around, Sorry looks back, Faith looks up. My doc prescribed Zolpidem 10mg to help me sleep while on Prednisone. This will be my first night to take it, should I cut the dose in 1/2? Any other comments or things I should be aware of?

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Thanks Peggy, Will I wake up late? I also got my CPAP mask today and I'm supposed to start that tonight and it's 95 degrees here tonight. I don't know if I can do all this. It's overwhelming at times! The Prednisone is a 6-week trial - 4-weeks to go....

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I took 1/2 tablet and fell asleep about an hour later and slept all night! No ill effects.
