Has any1 here tried Ambien pills?

[nikn]

ok well my friend may be getting me some Ambien pills pretty soon. Just wondering wat i can expect. I hear they don't always work, but if they do they are pretty good. My friend told me not to take em when im too full of energy or it wont work right, and not to take it when im to tired or i'll fall asleep. He says he likes em with weed.

Anyone wanna fill me in on this drug?

one guy says
"when awakened by loud noises once and got up, I was extremely dizzy, disoriented, laughed almost uncontrollably, and hallucinated (bedspread and rugs appeared to be levitating)."

...Yes I've taken it to help me get over jet lag. No I've never abused it for recreation.

Its Zolpidem Tartrate, a psudeo benzo

I used to be prescribed 20mg a night for sleeping problems. This stuff will hit you approximately 15 minutes after taking it (if you break them in half before swallowing). Expect dizziness, small hallucinations, and a drunk feeling. Also, you won't remember anything the next day.

You are suppose to take Ambien right before going to bed, my cousin has given me some before to help me sleep and they work awesome! I slept for eight hours and woke up feeling great..

Yes, but if you take them and then don't go to sleep you start feeling intoxicated and having small hallucinations. They never did help me though because I would take them around 12 and stay up until the high wore off which was around 4 or so and then go to sleep, only to be awoken at 6 for school. Then I could never wake up ;\
