Health risks associated with Zaleplon in large doses..

[beta1]

Hey guys,

I railed 40mg of zaleplon earlier today (3PMish), finally got some sleep, now its 9:30 and I was thinking about doing say another 25mgs.

My question is, would that be particularly unwise/unsafe? I have a pretty good basic knowledge of all the Z drugs, I'm just unsure as to the potential harm in using a healthy amount of pyrazolopyrimidines in such a short period of time.

Feel free to shift this to OD if you see fit, thanks in advance


(FYI: I generally never use any sleep aids and have no tolerance to any hypnotics or benzos at the moment).

Hey mods, this question is no longer prevalent in my own life.

But for the sake of harm reduction, mind shifting this to OD? Someone over there may have some more insight. Thanks.

I have taken like 80-90mg of this stuff. It felt like 3 or 4 Diazepams. of 10mg each one.

Haha, that doesn't really answer my question. The randomness did make me laugh a little tho :D

no ill effects to your health will occur. Del just said they've 80mg of the stuff, higher than you, and they're fine. if you don't make this a habit you'll be fine

Haha yeah, people take 10k mg of acetaminophen in a day and say they're "fine". Doesn't mean its a smart/healthy thing to do.

I knew it wasn't gunna kill me, I was more interested in the possible health risks, if there were any.

Holy shit, 10 KILO-MILLI-GRAMS?!

Wait, is that a lot, or a little? More or less than a milli-pound?
