Firstly, I hope this is posted in the correct forum! If not, feel free to move it.
I'll try to keep this as quick as possible, so thanks for reading
I've been taking zolpidem (first prescribed, then recreationally once I figured that out) for about 6 years. Most night of the week. For me, they work very well to send me to sleep. Until recently, they were working very well for me as a recreational drug also (still getting all the weirdness that comes with zolpidem/ambien, but I was okay with that).
The last couple of weeks, the total zolpidem blackouts and social carnage that I'm causing is sort of killing any small enjoyment I'm still getting from them. I think it's time to say thank you Ambien, and maybe find the new pill that does it for me.
Any ideas from anyone what that could be? Benzos might be the obvious choice, but they tend to knock me out completely, and sure I'll get nothing done if I'm just a zombie.
I guess the other obvious choice might be an opiate - I don't know enough yet about opiate specifics (and I have to hold down a high pressure and high responsibility job during the daytime) to make a choice on what opiate might suit me best.
Ambien makes me a little dozy, and a lot trippy and a lot creative and super friendly - is there anything (not just limited to benzos or opiates) that might have a similar effect on me?
Any suggests at all here are so appreciated, let me tell you
Oh, and weed is cool, but I'm more of a pill/powder girl! X
Edit: just to add that I'm currently on about 100mg zolpidem a night (and sometimes 10-20mg during the day too, plus I'm a small thin woman and 5'1, so am taking big doses and need to cut down for many reasons!
