If i take several 1 mg of lorazepam it makes me sleepy yet if i take diazepam it doesnt just chilled out. Anyone took lorazepam before? Did all you get was a good nights sleep lol. Nitrazepam is evil stuff that makes you feel WELL groggy and lasts longer. I wouldnt recommend that i can tell you!! I know they are both benzos, ambien (stilnoct or zolpidem) is NOT a Benzo yet its effects far outweigh the benzos effects. thing is it doesnt last for long with Ambien plus the fact you actually pass the drug out of your body when you pee so you have to hold it lol. It only lasts about an hour and after a few times of taking it you need ALOT to get any effect at all from it. Again just out of interest really. Now ive joined instead of just reading i may as well try to get some of my questions answered. again great forum this everyones been really helpful so thanks. Heres the info on ambien i know someone said somewhere it was a Benzo Zolpidem tartrate is a non-benzodiazepine sedative-hypnotic for the short-term treatment of insomnia. Although chemically unrelated to other hypnotics such as the benzodiazepines or barbiturates, it does share some pharmacological actions with these drugs. Unlike the benzodiazepines, it produces muscle relaxation and anticonvulsant effects only at doses much higher than the hypnotic dose. this stuff is GREAT but expensive if you cannot get it on script plus you will only get 30 and they wont last long. Just one 10mg tab will have you out of it to start but tolerance really quickly builds up. Plus NO groginess what so ever. Well worth a try, Anyone tried it? If so how much did you take and what effects did you get.
