I broke the first Golden Rule of Drug Abuse which is:
1. Do your research First, or you'll be needing a Nurse

I didn't quite need a nurse but things really got wacked the fuck out.

I'm a drug veteran so I'm used to starting out at higher doses, I've never had a problem with that. Last night I had to take a benzo break because I've been on valium 20mg a day for the last 5 days - I just wanna play it safe, I've been hooked on benzo's before so thought I would switch to a benzo-like substance for a few days.

Now, I've taken 20mg ambien before and got very mild bbenzo-type effects so I thought if I uped the dose to 100mg it would be like a nice 8mg xanax buzz -- not quite. wtf, I was just looking for a sedating benzo-like experience and I ended up hanging out with Tim Leary. Things started out feeling really nice, I was enjoying the sedation, just what I was looking for but slowly things started to appear in the pereiferal of my vision and I kept cleaning my glasses. Of the little bits and pieces I can remember about last night I know I was stubling around over strange foreign objects, sitting with my head resting on a table having dreams while I was awake, not being able to type because I was trying to search ambien up on BL but by that time I couldn't type or read. And having visionary type hallucinations of Poseidon, Athena, and other greek gods(Probably because I was playing God of War earlier in the day). Many things that were in my subconscious from earlier in the day were making cameo appearances, many strange hallucinations and deep thoughts.

So I guess I got a little more then I bargained for. My wife found me asleep in my computer chair, I have no idea what I was doing on my computer. I was late to work by about 45 minutes.

Anyway, just like most of you smart researches know, at higher doses ambien is clearly a unique psychadelic drug, my cereberal cortex got smacked up good.

The experience was a 7 out of 10. I think a lower dose, around 70-80mg would have been perfect.

Mod: um, if you wanna file this in trip reports go ahead, I just thought it wasn't very interesting.
 
I'm surprised you remember anything about the experience.
 
I'm picking up more of the trip as the day goes by, small chunks of time floating up to the surface. I had played the "God of War" game pretty much all day yesterday and now I remember a cool vision I had when I had my chin resting on my computer desk, I was basically immobilzed or at least it felt like I couldn't or didn't want to move and there was a soft blue glow coming off my computer screen, that was the only light and I kept seeing the greek god Poseiden with his pitchfork and ancient-looking face but at the same time I was seeing everything in the room, I can only describe it as having a dream and being awake at the same time. Also I now remember that the glow from my monitor made me feel like I was clearly under water a few times. There are other tiny chunks of recall floating around in my data banks but I probably remember a total of like 30 minutes out of the whole night.

That's always the problem with these type of drugs, because if you can't remember it, then it might as well have not happened, and in fact, if you truly can't remember it at all, then it didn't happen.

Strange occurance #2: My wife just called me at work and asked why I had a full pitcher of cool aide down there and 2 2 cups 1 still full and the other half drank. I also apparently went on a Hot Pocket eating frenzy and ate 3 of those things, I must have had bad munchies.

But, my wife knew wherever I had been in the house because there were things overturned and knocked around and I left a total mess in the microwave.
 
Wow, most I took was 60mg. Definitely didn't "trip". More like a waking dream.

Also I find 10-20mg to work much better for sleep than higher doses. Unless you have a tolerance I guess.
 
I have 0 tolerance to ambien so I got zapped out real good. I took 20mg once last week, and 10mg once the week before that. that was the one and only time I took it. I plan on doing it again, but it's just a terrible tragedy that one can't recall the trip.
 
^^
If I were you I'd hold on to those precious ambiens and take them 1 at a time for sleep when needed. They work really frickin well for that purpose :)
 
^^ yeah, that would be the responsible thing to do, wouldn't it. And I am, as you can tell by my posts, a gleaming gem of responsibility and self control.

You are right though.
 
i took 15mg last night plus alcohol and i felt almost nothing
needed to down some triazolam before sleep came.

maybe it works for some people and some not.
 
sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Sometimes 10mg will knock me out - other times 40mg makes me clean the shower. usually 10mg ambien and 1.5mg xanax will help me sleep.

I have bought many things on ebay on ambien. the people on the monitor encourage me - I mean it's only money. A lot of times I don't even remember until it shows up and I am like WTF?
 
yeah I took 10 ambien. But no I don't regret it in the least. I didn't hurt anybody(except maybe myself), and I only knocked some things over around the house and apparently poured a couple glasses of coolaide, maybe for someone that wasn't realy there. I have no memory whatsoever of the coolaide event. The 100mg dose was clearly too high if no memory exists of the experience.

For somebody that thinks they're smart, I do the dumbest things. For example, I'm at work right now and decided to try a new cocktail which consists of the following:
(10mg valium, 2mg xanax, 200mg phenobarbital) - not a huge wreckless dose but I must say this cocktail feels something like the all mighty qualude buzz of yesteryear. I rekamens it.

I'm also getting no work done and laughing and cracking jokes at everyone. Think I might need a double espresso to get even a shred of work done at this point.
 
^^wow. Sounds like you need a serious vacation kicking back on the whitesands of an exotic hawaiin Island where the only sounds are of of gentle soothing waves over and over again all day long for hours. It's like a bromptons cocktail, without the bromp.

I weigh 235lbs so I need higher does or don't get the desired(or undesired) effect.
