Zolpidem (20mg nasally) - First Time - Painful Absurdity

So, a couple nights ago, in my quite screw-headed state, I wrote a "live" trip report concerning my first experience with Zolpidem. Needless to say, it was terrible, so now that I'm all clear-headed I'm going to make up for that.

I decided to administer the drug nasally because I delight in cutting up lines of anything, fiddling with them and etc. I can only say this about that: it fucking hurts. Now, I thought that I was immune to the burn, because all of my mates would bitch about the burn from things like cocaine, oxycontin, xanax, whatever, and I could barely feel a thing. I thought I would be alright. Jesus H fucking A Christ did it hurt. After the first line I was already feeling fairly screwed up (I administered the 10mg tablets around 5 minutes apart), so I figured I should just cowboy-up and go for it. The second line I sent up fakie to my left nostril, which always proves to be more difficult for some reason, and I felt as if I busted a nerve on that side of my face. Both of my eyes were watering at this point. I was quite a mess really, and that's when I noticed that I was tripping out pretty hard.

So, the setting of this situation is my desk. My desk is a mess of empty two-liters, papers, plates that I should have washed weeks ago, and my adorable ponytail palm plant. It's sort of difficult to describe the change that overcame my surroundings in the next few minutes. I felt as if all of the things on my desk had more sentience than they usually did, and we were involved in some sort of pseudo-telepathic communication. It was as if all of the objects around me (except for my laptop) were part of a group of friends, or comrades I should say, and we had but one goal: find the best music on my computer.

I can't really even use my computer properly at this point. My perception and motivations are completely warped. I (or We, I guess) knew we wanted to hear some tunes, but I couldn't exactly figure out how to operate the damn thing. I moved all of the windows around, trying in vain to find the right configuration so I could pick out the files I wanted to listen to. I must have spent a great deal of time doing this. I eventually did get some music, but I lost interest in it pretty quick and I think I logged onto here to write a trip report.

Typing was very difficult, as was conveying the experience. I also noticed that my vision was split in a similar fashion to what Halcion and other strong doses of benzodiazepines do to me. The two halves of my vision were inextricably separated, so to accomplish anything worthwhile I would have to shut one eye.

The initial fucked-upedness faded after about 20-40 minutes or so, leaving me feeling somewhat euphoric and social. In retrospect, I can see there's some definite amnesia-ish properties to the substance, because a lot of this is hard to recollect.

Overall, it was a good experience, very humorous to think about now, the sheer confusion of trying to use my laptop. Don't send it up your nose though, please. Next time I'm going to try to let it dissolve under my tongue, I think. If you do decide to go for it so you can get harder with the absurdity/making-inanimate-objects-your-friend kind of thing, you can expect to be reasonably twacked for around a half an hour to 45 minutes, then it's just a moderate intoxication. At no point, however, did I feel like going to bed. :)
 
^though it hurts like a bitch, snorting it seems to make zolpidem twice as potent, and kick in under a minute or two. i would say snorting ambien tablets feels like snorting crystal meth in terms of burn (ie; its a real tear jerker), but the burn goes away by the time the drug hits, so its a temporary discomfort.

i find the effects zolpidem to be very entertaining, its like a mix between benzos and DXM in my opinion, i even get OEVs.
 
ps. while recreational, zolpidem has never made me feel sleepy, and i definately can attest to the sense of confusion it produces. i have trouble following conversations or generally being aware of whats going on around me when i take it.

I can definitely attest to that. I was fucked by the time I set down my dollar bill.

It just felt so bad (especially because the pain shot into my face), that I can't imagine that being good for your nasal cavity.

I think you hit the nail on the head there, it definitely felt like a hallucinogenic benzo. Very, very amusing.
 
I think it feels more like a combo of xanax and a low dose of diphenhydramine for about the first 90 minutes, then just like most any benzo. It is fun but is shit for sleep.
 
man i take 2mg a day kpin, so i feel nothing even with 30mg ambien, so tonight i took4 to start, didnt get tired, then took 2, and snorted the 7th pill which burned but im still not feeling much...explanation? cuz i rememebr before benzos for a while id feel 10 or 15mg ambien like bam.
 
good to know, thought the generics from rite aid, which are legit, were crap but friend was floored on one and i never felt nothing after being on benzos like kpin or xanax, damn shame man, its a damn shame. i took 60mg orally at 7pm then snorted 20mg at 8:45 pm.....i just woke up. hahahaha so i guess it made me tired at least but no fun. :(

Yeah, I'm not on benzos anymore, so Ambien has once again become a fun drug. But be careful, 'cause it makes you trip out hard in high doses, and no doubt there's a lot of amnesia involved.
 
^^

Damn man that sucked, now in my time its almost 4 am, i passed out at 9 ish and got an interrupted sleep for 7 hours so i feel refreshed and the redbull and 2mg kpin will keep me good in about a half hour lol.

Thing i cant figure out is i took 70mg, if i took 100 i doubt id really trip that much harder....all that happened was when i snorted the last 10 it burned like fuck then i got tired and went to sleep. i miss the days of taking one 12.5 mg ambien CR and having the "close one eye" to drive to mcdonalds for ambien munchies days.
 
^^^

Get off the Klonopin and those days will come back. I'm proof of that. It's just that 12.5mg of Ambien isn't quite as potent as it should be anymore. But you can go back to where you were. Of course, Klonopin is the best medication I've personally ever been on, so I wouldn't ask you to get off of it, unless you wanted to. It's good shit, no doubt.
 
lol, dude back when i was 19 i was sent off to rehab for abusing kpin at 6 mg a day without prescriptions (yes i know i didnt have to but parents paid for my shit so they forced me) but i was self medicating for anxiety/agoraphobia/lethargy/depresion and wanting to just stay chill all day....ironically im prescribed 2mg a day now and was at 4mg a day for the last 5 months till now....and no, screw ambien, kpin is the best med ive ever had, I luv it, i fucking luv it lol. Add a gram of yey to 2mg and a couple tall cans and im set, though i stay away from yey cept for once in a blue moon.
 
Wow...I hope you have the abuse in check. When I went to rehab (the 2nd time), I was popping 80mg of Klonopin/Xanax a day...you don't want to end up there.
 
Why in the fuck would you snort Stilnoct if you can put it under your tongue? Sublingual administration is just as efficient and doesn't burn.
