Ambien: What can I expect

[Skyylya]

I think it's different than it used to be. When I was in high school I took it a few times and it knocked me the shit out. I would try to fight it and stay up playing Diablo 2 to see how long I could stay awake and the hallucinations would kick in like the game coming out of my screen and shit. I could usually make it a couple hours at most.

Nowadays I could take 3 and not blink. When I flew to spain in my last year of college I took 2 on the flight over hoping I could sleep since it was a night flight and I even took it with a drink...nothing. I never felt groggy though when I was younger.

it's too bad the patent for Lunesta doesn't expire until 2012, that shit is massively expensive if you don't have insurance (something like 200+ for a 1 month supply).

The funny thing about that, is Zopiclone has been available in Europe and around the world since November 1989. The U.S. product, Lunesta, is being sold in 1, 2, and 3 milligram tablets of just the S-isomer (they have named this eszopiclone), which is considered to be the primary active isomer. The European brands (Imovane, etc.) contain racemic mixtures and are sold in 5.0 and 7.5mg dosages. Basically they took an existing medication, refined it slightly and repatented it. Fuck yeah.

Was informed I did something else extra-hilarious on sonata a little while ago.

Show about the LHC comes on, woman asks me a really good question, "So this machine is going to let us revisit the big bang?" To which I respond, "You wanna revisit the big bang?" and motion to my crotch.

So Sonata makes aspies normal?

I'm going to need a definition of normal.

Yes, Sonata turns me into a booblighter.

This reminds me of when I was given nitrous oxide to get a tooth extracted. After coming to I felt like I was floating for about an hour. To this day the only time I've ever enjoyed going to the dentist. If you haven't tried nitrous oxide before, ask them for it next time you go to the dentist.

Was prescribed Ambien because I was experiencing trouble falling asleep with back pain. Never experienced any of the stuff mentioned in this thread.

I took ambien with a anti depressant a few years back and I would wake up smiling for no reason and it was really weird and I couldnt jerk it.

Along this note, I got some hydromorphone after a surgery b/c morphine wasn't masking the pain well enough and holy fuck, the hydromorphone didn't do much better w/ the pain but it was probably best high I've ever had, I could not string together a sentence properly for the next day or more, and was floating for nearly as long.
