Oral use - Ambien (Zolpidem)

[zipoo]

Psyki, ambien is not a benzo.


as to tripping on it that takes a whole conversation as to what it means to be triping. but i can see how you can easily just dismiss it. sleep deprvation have cause many a person to trip and hallucinate.

[psyki]

Sorry, you're right, ambien is not a benzodiazepine. I believe it
does have a very similar chemical structure and mode of action, however.

[joemomma]

Ambian does nothing for me but I have a couple of friends that take it
they say they trip on it, now I have been around them while they were
on it and I was sober and I can tell you for shure that they were very
fucked up. I dont know if they have as vivid hallucinations as Nhanson
said they said its more like things pulsing or sort of mellting.
I know it gets then high Ive seen it and there deffinatly not the kind
of people who just pretend to get high because we have tried other
things together with no effects. Anyway do I belive that certain people
can have somthing similar to a trip on ambian YES. Do I belive
everything I read NO. but diff drugs have diff effects on
everyone so I cant say that its imposible to "trip" on ambian I just
wish it would work fo me

[oregonsavage]

i've tripped on ambian but only at high doses. 5-10 mg's will not do much except give you a head change unless your really sensative or combine it with alcohol. i've never seen anything that wasnt there just a disorted view of my surroundings. i was sitting in my chair when it started to sink or dip into the floor as if sink on a point. like taking some suran wrap and poking it with your finger. i got and walked towords the door. i was walking up the side of the dip. anyways i black out after a short while and woke up in my friends car puking out the window. everytime ive taking ambian ive puked and blacked out. noramlly i have a strong stomach. only ambian and methodone wafers seem to effect my stomach like that.

[Softrat]

I have read some reports that ambien may be in fact a delirient hallucinnogen like datura and dramamine. If this is true it may act, in part, by effecting the action of actylcholine. If this is the case then it could cause vivid hallcination in at least some people. It would also be expected to cause sleep as well.


I would point out however that walking around the neighborhood on ambien is proabably not a good idea. Delirients make you just too damn crazy to be in public. Also a trip sitter really should be used with any delirients as well.

[Nahbus]

yeah, I couldn't really control what I did, I had ambien logic. I just
remember bits and peices. I wish I could remember everything, though.

I do somehow have a video of myself talking to someone (he was really
there). I sound pretty drunk or something. Fun times, though.

Ambien isn't as intense for me anymore, even after months of a break.
Oh well, I guess it was just one of those once in a lifetime things.

[anabolictrio]

i tried ambien for the first time. I took 20 mg and I didn't feel anything weird.
I'm addicted to lorazepam so i tried ambien mostly to stop this bad habit.
moreover i didn't sleep well as with lorazepam. i had tremors,burst of heat all night long. I suppose that was more due to a sort of withdrawal symptoms from lorazepam.

[Narfdangle]

SOMEONE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT ACETYLCHOLINE WHICH IS WRONG.





Sorry, but acetylcholine has absolutley NOTHING to do with hallucinating. Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter responsible for depolarizing the axon in a MOTOR neuron, therefore, you are saying that ambien is the inhibitory endorphin, not true

[Tavz]

Ive only taken Ambien once, just made me fall asleep. However, my mom use to take it a few times a week to help her sleep and EVERY time she took it she would fall asleep for like 10 minutes then wake up and do all kinds of crazy shit and act all weird, and she wasnt sleep walking. My dad finally took them from her, heh. So just because it does nothing for one person doesnt mean it wont for someone else.

[Unsolved]

I think your going to find that when it comes to sleep pills any drug in general, everyone's body is going to react differently to the drug. It's impossible to find a sleep aid that will work for every single person. It's werid and has something to do with the how our bodies are made up. Ambien works for most people but it won't work for everybody, you just need to try something else. I can take unision to sleep at night, knocks me right out, but my friend can't, it acts as a stilulant and keeps him wide awake.

[oldman]

How about xyrem, I beleive this is GHB. I've taken ambien (never hallucinated) and couple other benzos but always felt kinda hungover or grogy the next day and tolerance developed quick. I never took GHB nut understand there is a dopamine bounce the next day or so after taking xyrem. all other info i've read about it is positive. I hear getting a script from a doctor ain't easy though. swim has an appointment this week and is going to ask. no harm in askin right?

Oh yeah, this pill has never had any effect on my insomnia. Any other downers that I should ask my Dr about? Thanks so much

I have been perscribed ambean at 5mg and 10mg, sonata at 10-30mg, seraquil at 25-100mg, and trazadone at 10mg (not sure about the trazadone dose) and nothing has worked as well as ambean for sleep. well nothing has worked as well for sleep thats not a benzo. for me 10mg of ambean will start working in about 17 min if im on a full stomich. I have taken up to 30mg and i just completely pass out with no recelection of what happend. accually the one i took 30mg i woke up with back aches and a large bloody gash on my arm, DONT BE DUMB LIKE ME.

Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that plays a role in many functions of the nervous system, including motor functions. Drugs that inhibit the action of acetylcholine are often delirient hallucinogens when taken in sufficient dose. This is true of the tropanes as well as dramamine and it's relatives. As far as I know the hallucingenic effects of these drugs are believed to be caused by the inhibition of acetylcholine, though other neurotransmitter systems may be involved as well.

[Zandorf]

here is my first ambien experience from last night.



the day before i did not sleep a wink, so i got up and went about my day.



later that day my doc prescribed me some ambien to help me sleep
because a recent surgery i've had it causing me pain and making sleep
diffcult.



i then slept from 4pm until 11pm. i woke up and watched tv, took some
lortab elixer. 75mg hydrocodone/500mg acetominophen. then i took one of
my 5mg ambiens.



i went to bed about 10 minutes after this.



at first i was noticing very faint CEV's, halos of light and such that
would take form into animals or objects. then something VERY
interesting occurred. i started to feel as if i was being dragged over
my sheets, floor, up the wall, then eventually down stairs, etc. i
could actually FEEL the friction of the sheets, carpetting and wall.
even minute details like the sheets rippling under my weight/movement
and folding up. it was so, so strange.



after like 4 minutes of this i slipped into an extremely vivid dream,
most of which i can't remember now. then i woke up from it. after a few
minutes the process repeated itself but i don't think i ever woke up
from the second dream i just slipped into normal sleep.



i woke up about 6.5 hours later feeling refreshed.





i've got 4 more of these, i hope they keep working.

ambien has caused some people to trip although its rare i do find that
if you take about 30 mg you will be totally fucked up i way only 120
lb's tho. i have never tripped while on ambien exept once i say a few
colored lines for 3 seconds. mostly it makes me gigle, forget, not
think straight at all, see everything blury and stumble a bit.



once i took a bunch and tried to make a maltove cocktail glad that didn't work.

[Zandorf]

some of my friends say it actually works better if you take LESS than the prescribed dose<!--

thats wierd that doesn't happen to me

i think taking 3 10mg pills crushing them i dont even remove the time
release coating from the pile out of fear of losing some ambien putting
it into some cold water and mixing and mashing it in there then down it
all at once i tried this for the first time today and i was much more
fucked up than i thought i would be. it was pretty fun.

[RemyLeBeau]

yeah, i don't even remeber posting all that stuff i did earlier, bad times that night if i recall, wound up taking 80mg of ambien and walkin around the block smokin a cigarette and drinking an Amp. Talked to some guy watering his lawn at like 7 in the AM and fell asleep for an hour on my front lawn, bad times


coming down was the worst thing ever, felt like i wanted to die for 4 days, don't f*** with ambien

[cartex12]

fuck 80mg of ambien seems ridiculous to me. u must be fucking crazy.

[Sklander]

I recently acquired 10 ambiens. I was going to use them to come off of RC's mostly... just a sure thing that it'll knock me out.

[luckyatl13]

i have taken 100 mg of ambien before and i have to say id never do it again and was realy stupid. i took 10 10mg pills and OD. Lucky that im even here today.Very stupid thing of me and i am very thankful that im still here today. id have to say that if u do ambien to start slow.





peace

Ambien does not become lethal until some ridiculous dose (it was either
400 or 800mg). I looked into this myself once during some bad times.
Basically, not even an entire bottle of these things stands to be
fatal, from my own reading. Do not take this as an endorsement to take several hundred mg of ambien.</span> I mention it only to point out that taking 80mg is far from suicide.



When I first started taking ambien, the effects were strongest. I would
not call them hallucinations; more like visual distortions. I used to
sit and stare at text on my monitor because the words would ripple
slightly, or crawl. Over time, the dose required to achieve these sorts
of effects increased up to 30mg.



30 mg is a cutoff point for me. I weigh 175 lbs, and any time I take
30mg or more, I simply don't remember anything from about a half hour
later onward. Almost nothing. However, friends and family(!) have
experienced me in a very strange state during the time I can't
remember. I have been told I'm non-responsive (spaced out), and very
obviously confused. I talk nonsense. One time I told my parents</span>
a lengthy story about the adventure of cherry-pie man. There are a
wealth of similarly insane things I have reportedly done, and a handful
of slightly less insane ones. One night I slept with an otherwise
platonic friend, and I barely remember anything.



In short, ambien is actually a lot of fun until you hit your personal
threshhold, at which point you won't be able to remember the fun you
were having. I still miss the days before my tolerance developed.

[Menik]

I skipped a lot of the posts, because I just started reading this thread now from beginning.



But, I have had maaaany experiences on Ambien, all good for the most
part. Most of what the NHanson guy said, sorry if I spelled it wrong,
was probably true to an extent. I was prescribed Ambien about a month
ago because I was having sleeping problems due to one of my other
scripts. So, I was just reeeeally getting into pills at the time, so I
decided to have a few experiments with this new Ambien.. The first time
I did more than my prescribed 10mg, I took 3 of them, a total of 30mg
for those not too great at math. You get some pretty good trips on it
for real. I was out on my porch smoking a cigarette, and I ended up
talking to "people" for like 15 minutes before I realized that these
"people" were just shadows. You act really loopy when you're on it. Say
some really weird crazy shit. It's good if you want to be the life of a
party. I've proposed to friends on it. Thought I had twins with another
friend. Told some weird ass stories. It's great when you're on it, but
you remember pretty much nothing after you sleep. It's great to hear
the stories from other people about what you did when you were on it.
The most I've taken at this point is 50mg, which was fucking insane.
Everything goes insanely quick and everything just mixes together. Like
places you go and stuff. I've never hallucinated, but have tripped
pretty good. I'd definetly recommend Ambien, and I bet soon it's going
to become a pretty popular pill.



Sorry for the long post.
