To skip right to the point, scroll down to the bold text, but don't think of flaming me if this is all you read. 
There are many people who believe zolpidem to have no recreational value. I say if you're looking for an intense, euphoric or psychedelic experience, you're going to be disappointed. It works much better as an anxiety-reliever rather than euphoria-inducer. After all it's nearly identical to a potent hypnotic benzodiazepine.
I find myself to be a rather unfortunately anxious person, and Ambien arguably works better at decreasing anxiety than ANY benzo I've been prescribed including diazepam, clonazepam, temazepam, and lorazepam. To those of us with high anxiety levels, simply being freed of anxiousness is intensely euphoric in itself. Then, on top of that, add some very mild but entertaining visual distortions and you have zolpidem! I get it prescribed, and at first I used to just take one orally and enjoy....but just as with any drug worth abusing..... 8)
I wouldn't go as far as saying I'm addicted to it. No part of me feels like I need Ambien, even on nights when sleep doesn't come easy I can very level-headedly say no to it. I simply enjoy the piss out of it, and now that I've built a small tolerance, I don't completely black out anymore nor do I get all that sedated, so the effects are very easy for me to enjoy. I almost completely left behind oral ROA and now insufflate pretty much every tablet in the bottle. I love the effects this way, I feel they're more euphoric, they hit extremely fast and call me crazy but I think I've come to actually enjoy that burn. Crazy I know...
I'm usually good at limiting myself to how many I will do in one night (usually start off snorting one or two right away, with a third booster later on, occasionally a fourth if it's a long night, never more), and I also do my best to space it out and not do it every night. Also, my doc stops scripts for a couple months here and there, so I inevitably go without it for long periods of time, nor do I usually have an abundance of it, and this is fine with me! However, again, as with anything worth the time, I slip up on occasion, binge, finish off a whole script in a week, etc..
Having said all that, I'm interested to hear other people's experiences and relationships with zolpidem. I feel like it's a somewhat easy drug to regulate one's self with, unlike opiates. However, simply for the pure enjoyment of it, I binge on it when I have it, and I occasionally feel some sort of rebound from it. For example, I haven't had an Ambien script for a few months, then recently I just nabbed a script. I binged on it for the past three or so days, which is not uncommon, however I've felt way overly-emotional the past few days, and yesterday I nearly cracked from a wave of depression. I've been known to get like this from time to time, but part of me wonders if the Ambien played some kind of role in this, hence why I ask about other people's stories of abuse.
Obviously, the best advice is uhh duhh stop snorting ambien. Clearly, but let's be real here. I'm more interested to hear about other people's recreational use of Ambien, how they maintain it, what rebound effects have been felt, and whatever else you guys have to say about it.
Please, let's keep the flames to a minimum. I'm really not interested to hear how you think Ambien is retarded, useless, whatever.
Thanks!
