Ambien

[jakejake678]

Hey bluelight. not sure where to post this, was deciding between other drugs and here but im looking for the psychedelic aspect of the drug. 2 nights ago, i took 10mg, felt mellow, stayed up and had no visual / auditory distortion. last night i snorted 15 mg (burned like a bitch!) and still had little to no visuals. im just wondering what mg would be needed and some more input.
Thanks!

IME, the dose which 'feels' psychedelic is similar to the dose which knocks you out. With little tolerance, 30mg is what I used to take. Its not an especially safe drug to try and trip on, because of the walkabout elements, loss of inhibitions and amnesia. I would reccomend an oral dose of 20mg if you have no tolerance. I've taken 5 times that amount but I had a strong benzo tolerance at that time.

Also- it doesn't really make you trip in the traditional sense. I certainly wouldn't call it psychedelic, anymore then I would call dramamine psychedelic.

Don't mess around with ambien as a psychedelic. You will be very unimpressed. Ambien is a hypnotic and thus causes amnesia, so even if you had visuals, you most likely wouldn't even remember you did. I am saying this from personal experience. When I was younger, if I remember correctly, I took about three or four ambien at once (don't do this). I vaguely remeber the walls of my room buldging a little, but it was not impressive and I only remember those few seconds of it. Next morning I woke up and I pissed my bed without realizing it (and I never do this). Don't fuck with this stuff, It's a downer and it not impressive at all in my opinion. Try some real psychs like phens or trypts.

I think zaleplon (Sonata) has the best reputation of the z-hypnotics as far as hallucinogenic aspects go. On the other hand, I think it really matters how much you individually are predisposed to this side effect (something like 1-2% of people in the side effect studies reported it as an effect). I haven't tried zolpidem yet so I'm not really sure how it compares, but if you're not getting/remembering them at non-amnesiac doses, you may have to give up on your endeavor.

I tried Ambien once, and I guess I would again if it was given to me like the last time. I did get visual distortion from it but I do not know what dose I took, at the time I probobly did but this was some time ago. My keyboard seemed to be wiggling around on my desk, this was the first sign other then drowsiness that it was working. I also felt wayyy too tired to try and stay awake. Not a good substance to try and get psychedelic like effects from, IME.

ambien can definitely warp your mind and give you visuals when you first start abusing it. I remember when i started abusing ambien, my mom came in and her face was warping like crazy. I also remember blacking out on it and riding my bike in a thunderstorm to get weed. I had to ride with one eye because i had the worst double vision, later biked into a parked car... After a year of addiction to the tartrate and a shit ton of ridiculous stories later, i realize that it doesn't get you any more fucked up to take more than ~40mg+, it seems to have a peak of fucked-up-ness. i have gone up to 195mg of the stuff (not a good idea), felt the same as a lower dose, but the more you take the more toxic your body feels. overall i agree with the other posts, NOT A GOOD "PSYCHEDELIC" DRUG...

Ambien is not a psychedelic drug in the literal sense. As others have mentioned, you can "trip" off things that aren't psychedelics.

In regards to the original post, I wouldn't try and "trip" off Ambien anyway. It's not fun and once you get above 15-20mg (even less for some people), its nothing but a blackout and you'll remember none of it.

In my experience, Ambien and related drugs can be very hit-or-miss. Sometimes I can take 20-30 mgs and get almost no effect, sometimes 10mg will take me to the Ambien space. I call it that because it's not like tripping on mushrooms, but like you enter a different realm, sort of like dreaming while awake.

I can say that for me, the Ambien experience can be absolutely amazing. Shared hallucinations, profound visuals, encounters with other entities, becoming an animal, and being pulled into alternate universes underneath the floor have all happened to me.

Of course everyone can have different reactions, and set and setting play a huge role as well. In the interest of harm reduction, get a sober sitter and try no more than 30mg oral, maybe with a little cannabis an hour or so beforehand - that seemed to give me luck going into the space. Do not drive, operate heavy machinery, possess weapons, or really try to walk around anywhere where falling or interacting with the public could put you in danger. While readily available, Ambien is not inherently safe unless strict precautions against poor decisions are put in place.

that sounds like it! I had a strong experience once with 20 mg. It was such a complete mindfuck that I have not wanted to repeat the experience. I was with a friend who also at 20 mg. We decided to explore outside. We walked through a field of dirt that was so torn up and craggy that we could barely navigate it. The next day we realized that had been a perfectly flat baseball field. After that we discovered a blinking light and became convinced it was trying to communicate with us.

I'm moving this to Other Drugs.

You barely remember anything after taking ambien.
You definitely don't trip from it just because you're in a delusional state.
You get munchies for dumb stuff and may end up wandering around the streets with a bottle of cologne in your pocket.

Definitely farrr from a psychedelic drug.
Search for cough & cold remedies if you're that desperate to trip.

when I pop 20mg - 30mg, I get dillusion effects like you would from diphen, but more pleasent with less illness. Shit like balance being off, reaching for the milk and missing the handle, dropping things everywhere, and flashes of unwanted color.

.... I do this about once a week. It's fun for the 45 minute you can stay awake before passing out into a bowl of cereal.

My advice: HIDE YOUR CREDIT CARD. Just last week I bought 120$ worth of MilkDuds off Amazon, with a bonus 2lb package of Warheads.

Yeah.

 

[obscure]

Chainer, you got it. That describes all my ambien "trips" pretty well... waking up in a starbucks with a coffee in my hand and not really understanding how or why I was there.

I notice a nice little rush of hypnotic sedation when it kicks in (preferably 20mg-30mg, I've taken up to 50mg though). Made my whole room warp and spin at 50mgs for me, blacked out quite a bit, and my girlfriend told me I was the slurring the fuck outta' my words and she couldn't understand what I was saying. Bashed on a shit ton of food too. Remembered a decent, yet somewhat decent actually haha, portion of the night due to my high tolerance to benzos/hypnotics. Would rather stick to the 20-30mg range though with some strong marijuana or opioids, gives it a very dreamy touch. Not for everyone though, that's for sure

LMAO! That's the funniest thing I've read all day. And now I want warheads...
