Lol, interesting, i mentioned the same thing in my new post i did earlier. It does the same for me, basically acts as a benzo but better then other benzos, stimulates me mentally in a good way, but relaxes me physically. Have taken it in the day often. I can think more clearly, get more work done, be more motivated, basically i feel "smarter" and it also provides euphoria, mood enhancing, far more then benzos in my opinion.
I honestly am a big fan of the stuff. Recently I had a bad neck pain/discomfort issue one and off for years, that could be neuropathic pain or similar acc to doc and the Zolpidem provided total releif for this as well, just noticed it by chance when taking a dose. Normal benzos did nothing for this issue. My reseach has not indicated any reason why it had this effect beyond muscle relaxant but then benzos should work.
But zoplidem is a strange and interesting subtance, look at the cases where it treats very dibilitating brain trauma cases and disability and has even brought people out of comas as far as i remember. I dont think its complete list of mechanisms is fully understood yet, but i rekon its good for you, perhaps nootropical in nature, but thats just my fan boi opinion.
Plus no dependancy either like benzos, at least nowhere near as bad and in my experience of long term use as well.
Now this is only as I have a tolerance which has removed all the newbie ambien effects like the wierd visuals, blackouts and sedation. Now it just puts me in a good mood and works like a better benzo, with far better effects and euphoria. Only problem is the duration is very short, the good effects wear off very fast, like 1-2 hours for me. Which is a shame Perhaps i should try Zopiclone for my purposes instead. Also redosing doesnt seem to work at all for me, even taking 2-3 times the first dose doesnt seem to do anything beneficial besides more sleepiness.
I can also confirm empty stomach is ideal and works far better.
I have used nasally a few times in silly situations when drunk and basically passed out everytime. Basically, I guess it works, doesnt really burn or cause more nasal issues then any other pill with base/cut in it. I dont think it worked better then eating it though, as far as I remember, which makes sense based on swampfox's post.
Edit: Lastly, tolerance is a bitch with this when you start taking larger doses for the rec effects. I was up to 7 pills (70mg) a few years back and ended up in hospital as family couldnt wake me up. Was safe and false alarm but dont mess up your tolerance. After 2 years now i can take half a pill again (5g) and it works ok, but still no intense effects like visuals etc like when i first started using. But those effects arent useful anyways and seeing wierd faces and images in shadows all around your dark room at night is not helpful for getting to sleep, but it is interesting the first few times.
