Its not just me then, They told me 10mgs was the Max dose I should take (1 Tab) Some people, must be getting something out of them but it does seem to be a very much USA thing. I see lots of people going on about Ambien and how great it is but ther always from the US.
May those you guts have genetic trait floating about that makes the stuff just peachy for some
Yeah i agree.
Most G.P's in the U.K seem to always prescribe Zopiclone as there 1st choice of sleep aid for there patient, hardly anybody i know has even heard of/taken Zolpidem/Ambien.
When my G.P said she was going to give me something to help me sleep i immediately asked her what and she replied Zopiclone so i requested if could i have Zolpidem instead as i really can not tolerate the 'metal mouth' side effect that Zopiclone gives me.
She duely obliged and gave me a script for 14 x 5mg Zolpidem tabs!
Now considering she knows all about my Benzo addiction/tolerance i was shocked on various fronts
First of all im 99% sure that the Z-Drugs (Zolpidem, Zopiclone, Zalepon etc) all work on the GABA-A Receptors although they are more selective to certain subunits, never the less it was obviously they were not going to work for me as id spent the previous 2-3 years frying my GABA-A Receptors, also ive read Z-Drugs should not be prescribed to anyone with a history of drug abuse especially sedatives/hypnotics, and the dose she gave in 5mg tabs would hardly touch a non-tolerant individual.
Anyway i did pick up the script which as expected was an utter waste of time and money, id take 3 or 4 at a time (15-20mg) and honestly didnt get nothing from them apart from Amnesia, i wasnt trying to use them recreationally as a lot of people in the U.S tend to do, where i read about people dosing and then fighting the sleep inducing properties so they could trip out of them which is something i never experienced from them either.
Maybe if i hadnt of previously caned the Benzos i might of benifited from them medicinally or even recreationally (Which i wasnt actually hoping for) I did just want something help me sleep.
Sorry ive gone off on one again and started another one of my essay's!
Im actually fighting to stay awake as i type this and beginning to trip out due to the fact i stayed up all last night to try out my first ORAL Morphine solution experience which turned out ok in the end....
