Ambien...

Anyone ever accidentally or intentionally abused it? I accidently abused it once and noticed that I got a lot of paranoia and aural (hearing) hallucinations. Then I got the idea to take 2 (I believe they were 10 mg, I only weighed like 105 at the time) and not go to sleep. Well, lets just say it was 2 hours and then after some pizza before I zoned out. I don't even remember what all happened, but I do remember my parents asking me whether or not I'd done any drugs (of which I said no).

I gave my first stoner buddy (he got expelled later that year, go figure) 2 pills to try and he said he couldn't even walk straight; I dunno if he drank or smoked though. Anyway, anybody else have some experience with this drug? It's not all too great, but its a lot different than any high I've had before.

I have a prescription for it. When I first started taking it, I noticed that just 10 mg would make me hallucinate if I made myself stay awake. The gnome in my room would start to dance, and my guitars all started to bend and wiggle around. The thing about Ambien is, sometimes you don't realize that you're messed up while you're on it. Most of the time when I'm tripping out on other drugs I can just remind myself that I took something and that what I'm seeing isn't real. But with Ambien, I just get lost inside my own little world and forget I took anything. One night I called my with my cell phone while I was upstairs and she was downstairs. The next morning she said I kept mumbling about little people carrying my bed around.

Well, according to my parents, I brushed my face o_O. I know what you mean though.

I have been taking ambien on and off for about 2 years now(more for fun then any other reason)....going from everynight to now mabye once a month. But for some reason it has the complete opposite effect on me. It makes me speedy, but if I lay down then it isnt long untill I am out cold for like 12 hours. And yeah, I always hallucinate on it. I dont have visuals anymore, but when I lay down to go to sleep it feels like my bed is moving. It is pretty freaky, because it literally feels like there is something moving my bed back and forth and sometimes it freaks me out. I am getting really sick of this shit though....

If you take it for fun and you're sick of it, why don't you just stop?

Because it is always there. So its like, after so long I forget how much I hate it and just pop a few for the hell of it. Then I wake up, and feel like shit and swear I wont do it anymore. Untill some time goes by and I forget how shitty I felt and remember that HEY I have a bunch of ambien just sittin' around. Yeah....kinda like that.

You do drugs you say you're tired of just because they're there.

Drug addict- by definition.

funny...I thought the definition of an addict is someone who cannot funtion without the drug therefore always taking it. I guess drug addict has a new definition that I wasnt aware of? Thanks for clearing that up....yeah.
