I just had 20mg Zolpidem 15 minutes ago, and the last couple minutes have been manic!

It's like induced mania, motor control is compromised, and hallucinations-maybe not like full on hallucinations, but I see weird shit. The TV and notebook and everything sort of moves!

Who am I kidding, I feel off tap!

XD

This shit is legit, but when's it going to put me to sleep?

I swear my notebook screen is alive. I can see it breathing and moving.
 
From my experience the onset is very quick, and either you want to be in bed when it hits, in which case you'll be out for a good while. Or if you make an effort to stay awake, the window closes kinda quickly on going to sleep, manic feelings are not uncommon from what I've felt at least.

The most important thing to remember if you are awake on it, is that you are still very much intoxicated, and doing dumb potentially very dangerous stuff can happen along with an accompanying blackout and originally unintentional re-dosing.
 
"Remember" from what I've felt, is one thing that's very hard to do while on Zolpidem
20mg is not a sleep dosage. Stick to 5 or 10 at max, or if you wake up and feel those thoughts racing, another 10mg may be required, but anything above that will probably cause major motor agitation and serious dysphoria from the very quick crash, be careful
