Have a huge bezo tolerance took around 50mg ambient today, 35mg or 15mg snorted don't feel barley anything maybe a xanax type feeling is all, what gives?
 
What did you expect? Its a sleeping pill and acts like a benzo. If it felt like xanax then that's pretty surprising and you should consider lucky you felt like that on the stuff.

Its not a drug to get high on its just a benzodiazapine type drug used to get you to sleep.
 
It binds to the same GABAA receptors as a benzo (so honestly Im surprised you felt anything with a benzo tolerance) and has a short half life (2-3 hours) so that would be about all you can expect from it.
 
How long would it take for my tolerance to go back all the way down to zero?
 
I have taken ambien several times throughout the years and never tripped on it. I have had strange thoughts and states of well being but that is about it. With and without benzo tolerances. I have also taken a lot of psychedelics. Maybe some people just have different ideas of what qualifies as tripping.

Once you have built up a tolerance especially to a drug like benzo or opioids it never really goes back down to zero. It will decrees over time (weeks, months, or years) without use but its different for every person.

But like The Doc. said, your not giving us much info to work with?
 
Oh no no I have a HUGE benzo tolerance, I doubt 1 day would do much when I can take 10mg lorazepam or 6mg aprazolam and seem like a sober man
 
3-4 weeks ago I was taking aprazolam a day 6mg a a day, then took a 5 day cold turkey break with 1 or 2 shitty feeling days, next week was on 2-10mg of lorazepam a day, this past week took lorazepam and aprazolam daily and so I guess it makes sense that ambien would do nothing to me. How long should I stay off until I can really feel 1mg of aprazolam again...

I don´t think you will get high on any Benzos with that tolerance.
If you would have to quit for that long so that you can feel them again, wouldn´t you be sick?
I believe benzos change your behavior making you calm and by not feeling so much stress.
How do you plan on solving these issues if you have to decrease the doses?
 
Ambien as in zolpidem lol
Unfortunately I really don't know if I have the will power to stay off benzos for a month gonna try going benzo free a week then dosing once per week after that and when I have panic attacks of course.
 
Z drugs like Ambien and Lunesta produce slight hallucinations through a mechanism different than traditional psychedelics.

I was prescribed Lunesta for a year. The main effect it had in terms of visual disturbances that i noted was observed involved my indoor floor air conditioner light. While focusing on the small lights in my completely dark room, they would begin to move around. The interesting part about this was that my sense of distance from the light seemed to shift as well, and that the lights almost seemed to move in the direction i willed them.

My suggestion would be to turn the lights out in your room while pairing a few small electronic devices lights near eachother. My air conditioner had a green light and a red light. (Place them close together!)

Anyways, thats about the best way to replicate my experiences. One small light should work in theory as well.
 
his tolerance is just too high I don't see setting making a difference in this case

Sorry dude but I HIGHLY disagree with this statement, it is FORSURE a drug you can enjoy hahaha, I have met many people who have highly enjoyed ambien so much so it was on of their primary drugs of abuse in their addictions (me included), it is relaxing, strangely euphoric in its hypnotic confusion, and trippy as hell mayneee. (***For some people). Of course it is less likely for most people to get this effect (especially for the OP here), but it's would really not be surprising if he DID feel high from this drug. Nevertheless, OP, don't be too hyped on zolpidem because if 35mg doesn't do anything, you're pretty much stopped up on this one. So "Doc" (I'll always remember you as trainspotter tho haha) is still right.
 
It's a damned shame! I can relate to you, OP. I am immune to Ambien now, thanks to my extreme intolerance. It's like a kind of irreversible mithridatism. I am prescribed 60 × 2mg clonazepam per month, which is primarily responsible for my GABAA receptor agonist or PAM (positive allosteric modulator) insensitivity. The 120mg of clonazepam only ever lasts me fewer than 10 days. And Ambien? Every time I tell myself I'll only take a few 10mg tablets, I inevitably find myself waking up on the floor beside a completely empty medicine bottle and left to ponder why, how and when I took all the pills through an inscrutable fog of amnesia the day after.

Thankfully, however, my desire to deaden my anxiety and overcome my inhibitions is such that no prescriber could legally provide me with enough downers (with the exception of opioids, which I've never cared for nor enjoyed, anyway) to become addicted. The prescription would simply be too ephemeral and short-lived to allow for an addiction to develop.

I spend the other 20+ days of the month forlorn, divested of my pride and joy and left pitiably pining for next month's ration. Goddamn, it seems like forever, but I'm sure impatience and desperation beats withdrawals and addiction.

And the tolerance? It never seems to reset itself. Every month, nevermind the seemingly interminable ⅔ to ¾ of the month wherein I'm suspended in a state of intemperance-induced forbearance, the present prescription always seems to have a lesser life expectancy and a reduced ability to satiate my appetite for anxiolysis and sedation compared to the prior month's supply.

I'm only an average 5 ft 9 in (1.75 m) tall and a lithe 120 lbs (54.55 kg) in weight, so the above-average significance of my tolerance is not mitigated or tempered by a commensurate above-average stature or bodily dimensions.
