hello everyone, I've been perscrribed ambien 10mg (zolpidem) for insomnia for about 2 months now. for the most part it is REALLY helpful, especially when comming down from amphetamines (perscribed 70mg).

It just seems to be hit or miss with effectiveness now, I noticed I can't eat for a good 4-5 hours before I plan to take it to get the best results, which is wierd because I'm pretty underweight for a male of my age so usually meds hit me fast and hard.

There has been a few nights where I have taken more than one though, it seems to be one of thoes drugs where once you're in the zone you take more without hesitation or though. I think I have even built up a tolerance, beacuse I didnt take it for 2 nights and when I did take it I noticed barley any effect.

What would be the BEST way to get the most out of my ambien? I heard if I let it dissolve under my togue it absorbs faster and could also be taken after you eat. Considering I just ate 30 or so mins ago, If i take it normally I know there will be no effect at all.

thanks in advance for the help, wish such a lovely drug wasn't so hard to manage :|
 
Most benzodiazepines kick in quicker when taken sublingually. I'm not sure about z drugs (like ambien), but they are similar to benzos to it may hit you fasterl. However, the effects will probably be the same, with a quicker onset.
 
Yeah I'm trying it out right now, the taste is beyond terrible but I used to down nyquil like candy so it's nothing some getting used to will solve.

It seemed to mostly be gone after 15-20 mins, and I'm not going to drink anything untill 30 or more minutes. As far as effect is concerned, I am noticing it creeping slowly. it seems to be more like xanax right now for me, like I can walk and talk about but my stress level is zero.

It's worth being said too I JUST ate, so if this was taken orally I would have no effect at all. I'm interest to see if this little method will end up being a better way to take the zolpidem
