Quick question here. The last 2 days in a row I took a couple of ambien intending to sleep, and ended up going on a small solo stimulant binge, with 300mg of 3MMC the first night, and 300mg + 150mg MDMA the second. Was no doubt a total waste of drugs and brain cells because I could barely even appreciate these powerful drugs through the ambien-ed haze. That said, I do not recall feeling especially altered, even managed to do some basic work related tasks I had been meaning to do, rather than sleeping. Today I could say I feel a little off if I deliberately assess my mental state - BUT it is not obvious, and in fact I am surprisingly unphased by the substances I imbibed, which is quite counter to my usual experience with the day after hard stimulants.
So my question, although this may be just wishful thinking, obviously the act is done now against my better judgement - but is there any likely mechanism by which zolpidem (or, indeed, other GABA-ergics, benzos or "benzoids" such as z-drugs and similar) could suppress some of the acute activity of powerful serotonergic drugs, and possibly mitigate neurotoxicity and/or aftereffects?
Is it likely or possible that the same mechanism which causes this suppression of acute effects could also suppress some of the harmful, possibly neurotoxic effects, leading to reduced aftereffects?
