Dose - Ambien (Zolpidem) Recreational Dosage?

[powerpenguin]

How much 10mg tablets wouldSwim need to take to get high? What sortof effects wouldSwim have?


Swim must not get so stoned that his Mam would notice who lives with him. Swim doesn't like outdoors much, too far from the kettle and computer.Edited by: powerpenguin

I don't know what dose you would want to take but from what I have read Ambien may very well be a delirient hallucinogen like datura and other nightshades.





If this is the case a full psychoactive dose would likely induce very bizzare behavior.

Ambien itself dosent really have recreational value for many, but there are a few people who really love the effects givin from it. SWIM has experamented with ambien in doases of 5mg,10mg,15mg,20mg,and 30mg and I personaly dont see what all the hype is about. 10mg will give me a great night sleep but fail to see how it was "fun". on 20mg i may of gotten some mild visual disturbances, but nothing prodomonet, could of been placebo. With 30mg I apperantly fell down some stairs and woke up sore with cuts a scrapes, I didnt remember a damn thing.

Now SWIM's freind on the other hand uses these things whenever he can, often takeing large amounts (60mg+) or snorting smaller amounts. He LOVES IT, and says for him its a very fun drug.

If you want to give it a try, go for it. but dont expect too much more than a good nights sleep from it. I would start around 15-20mg and work my way up from there if supply wasent a problem. Have fun, Be safe, and stay far away from mom!

OMFG some people i havent got ahold of in the last two days were doing ambien last time i talked to them......... im trippin out bad things happen when i cant find people

[jaked588]

10 mg fucks me up good

[Colby]

yea 10 mg/s u should be cool but ambien is kinda shitty u kind of black out on it man, and everything is like a dream, it works really good to help you sleep though, dont take too much of it 10-20 mgs at most or u will just pass out into a deep sleep

[fnord]

myself and a friend both took 20 mg's of ambien and tripped out pretty good, although it was like a high dose of dxm with lite visuals, we both ended up vomiting and then stoped tripping

[anabolictrio]

I tried Ambien , for my experience it has no recreational value at all.
I tried 10mg, 20mg, 30mg and 50mg.
At low doses it gives me nice sleeps.
At higher doses everything looked robotic and automated, a bit weird but not very funny... then i fell asleep directly.

[mykeamine]

swim is darn scared to try this recreationally! would the swiy's who've tried it and experienced amnesia say that it was there unconscious yet same as conscious personalities taking hold? or was the amnesia'd swiy someone completely different than the real self?

[Rottenfruit]

A complete diffrent character, you are so wreckless that you would not mind taking a nap on a highway waiting for a car to hit you.

You will hallucinate and babble nonsense about them and look like a total maniac.

[The Laughing Man]

SWIM wouldn't define Ambien as 'recreational', but certainly 'potentially interesting'.

After being prescribed 1-2 10mg tabs per night for the better part of a year SWIM grew increasingly tolerant, to the point where SWIM was guaranteed to not sleep if SWIM did not take Ambien.

Up to 2mg of Klonopin per day, 15-30mg of Temazepam every evening, and 15mg(split) Lexapro just to abide my doctor's instructions.

tl;dr - I went to the doctor because I've had insomnia for years and my headaches have been getting steadily worse, to the point where I miss work. Any suggestions, things that have worked for other people? Also, don't ever trust a Neurologist's first guess unless they've actually run appropriate tests first.

The Laughing Man added 7 Minutes and 1 Seconds later...

An additional note about Ambien/Zolpidem as it relates to amnesia - this is accurate. When SWIM first started on 10mg the amnesia was an every night occurance for perhaps the last half hour that SWIM was awake - so unless you're really trying to stay awake on Ambien for whatever reason.

Please please please be careful not to develop a habit in which you allow yourself to take more than ~30mg of Ambien per week - even if you doctor suggests more, I'd double check it. I'm not a doctor, but I know how miserable I was trying to come off of Ambien and avoid getting fired.

tl;dr: great in small amounts, very bad if you use it all the time.

[kemistudent]

Ambien, Zoldipem Tartrate is NOT a recreational drug.. unless you consider feeling drowsy recreational, in which case you would be considered by many as being LAME.

Ambien is fact acting, and has a very small window in which it is effective for falling asleep. If you are not tired you will most likely be too awake to fall asleep during that time and find yourself irritable and restless. I have tried it on numerous occasions and found washing it down with a beer or two helped a lot in my quest for sleep. Washing it down with more than that will lead to you waking up on the kitchen floor in a pile of drool wondering how the fuck you fell asleep there, and not on your 800 thread ct. sheets. Bad idea, and scary not remembering how/when/why.

Use good well informed judgement when mixing EtOH with other drugs.

I was perscribed Ambien for about a month or more. I didn't know anything about it, I just thought it would help me sleep. The first night taking it I sat at my computer getting ready for bed, when this stuffed monkey I had started grinning and rubbing his hands together looking at me. After a while I realized I was in a very strange dream land every night for a month. It was like an Alice in Wonderland experience. I named the original monkey Garth, and I vaguely remember him velcrowed around my neck, walking through my neighborhood with lions and crazy things around.
I would talk to this two headed plant person in my house a few times. Wall paper turned into streams of bands and swirling flowers.
Eventually I could control the hallucinations. I was like a superhero in a strange dreamland. I could go on and on about things that happened (I don't remember most of the things. I woke up once with my bed moved out from the wall, I was asleep in between them).
Anyway, I don't know if I was just super sensitive or what, but it was a very bizarre and VERY intense trip every night for a month.
After that I just felt sorta ambien-high. Nothing special though.
It was crazy.

My guess is you took LSD or something...
SWIM experimented shitloads of time with Zolpidem and found them not usable fro recreationnall purposes.

Zopiclone on the other hand

No... It was ambien and it was perscribed.

[luckyatl13]

I took 100 mg of ambien once and 2 xanax not sure what mg they were but they were bars. not a good thing. Overdosed dont rember anything, i stopped breathing at one point. i rember about up till 6 o clock i took them at 5. it was like being realy drunk. friends called all my friends about 20 ppl were there watching me to make sure i wasnt going to die.i didnt move much all i did was lay down and throw up from what my friends said. my friend was at the point of calln the paramedics but then i started doing better so he let me be. Id suggest not to do it thats just me but if you want to take aroudn 20 mg.

I have no idea where all of you who are saying that Ambien, also known as Zolpidem tartrate has no recreational value are gettin your information, because it defiantly does. Ambien is actually very abuseable, taking just one of the 10mg pills on a very empty stomach will send you to "la-la land". Taking even a higer doseage, such as 40 to 50 mg's will sending you flying to a new world. The strange thing about Ambien is that while your on it, you think you are fine and acting normal but the next day you will rembember only bits and pieces of what happened while you were under the infulence of Ambien. It's a very unique and strange drug. SWIM truely believes that sooner or later Ambien will be takin off the market or atleast not prescribed as often as it is now, because of the high abuse potential is contains. But, we'll see what happens!
By the way, I sure hope you enjoy those Zolpidem Tartrate!

If you have the chance to get some Zopiclone, just try it !
MUCH better then Zolpidem.
Recreationally and as a sleep aid.

Swim agrees totally. Swim has done about to 60 mg's of it and has tripped pretty hard. Its a great body high the whole time, and the best night sleep of swiy's life. the visuals usualy are mostly like shapeshifting. lines will begin going sideways and bending and such. usually swim does not remember to much, just bits and pieces. swim only remembers smoking one square and about ten were gone that swim had no recolition of smoking. swim never vomitted nor felt like he had to even though alot of swiu say vomiting is common. swim says do it, pop 30 mgs and enjoy. try to stay awake and moving other wise swiu will just pass out so move baby have fun

truten added 1 Minutes and 6 Seconds later...

and swim has done multiple times at different dosages so coming from experience

[Abrad]

Are you sure you're not confusing Zopiclone with Zolpidem, Zopiclone did absolutely nothing for SWIM, didn't even get him to sleep just gave him a horrible metallic tast in his mouth while Zolpidem definetely gets him very fucked-up even though he doesn't find it pleasent its great for sleep.

[mark_v]

Nope, for me it's the other way around.
Zolpidem doesn't work for me as a sleep aid, and i can't enjoy the feeling you get if you take more for a recreational dose.

Zopiclone on the other hand works very well for me.
15 mg is enough to make me fall into a deep sleep, and i'm an insomniac pur sang.
It's true, the metallic taste is horrible, but the buzz you get from it, makes it all worth it :d

[Raw edge]

I was prescribed Zimovane 7.5mg (zopiclone) a few months ago but I only used it a few times. I have to say I found it pretty effective in making me sleep. More recently I was prescibed stillnoct 10mg (zolpidem tartrate). This worked really well for a few day progressively I have found I wasn't sleeping as much, and more recently was having difficulty in falling asleep also. My doctor has told me to bump my dose if to 15mg and if that isn't effective he will give me a script for something else.

As an aside I used 750mg of diphenhydramine recreational last night, so if I sleep okay tonight with 15mg of stillnoct. It should remain effective for a few days at least. I am going to post about DPH experience seperately and would appreciate your comments.

[glitterfly]

can you shoot ambien? and how?

[jaked588]

the only thing i dont like about it is the feeling (high) that you get from it feels so synthetic and forced onto your body. like "GO TO SLEEP".. unlike shrooms which feel much more natural........from wut i hear

[scotty6435]

30mg of ambien doesn't have the effect of 10mg of valium for helping me to get to sleep and I normally take 30-50mg of valium with weed recreationally.
