After discovering the joys of snorting from my Ritalin prescription I decided to snort a pill or two of ambien after reading some anecdotal effects of a somewhat recreational effect. This was about 3 months ago so I'm not concerned about anything really. But I'm wondering what the hell damage could be done from taking a whole months worth of ambien in one night? I'd like to mention that ambien previously to this event had zero effect on making me sleepy or fall asleep. This is one of the reasons I decided to snort it. After snorting 1-2 pills I had no recollection of what happened that night other than waking up to a previous months supply of the drug completely empty and reside from crushed pills on my counter. I guess what I want to know was this event harmful and to what parts of my body and how could this happen?
