Zolpidem (Ambien) first time how much should I take?

I have 10 5mg Ambiens. I've never took any benzo's before except Klonipin and that was years ago... How many should I take to feel great?
Lol thanks

would 5mg be too low for a first time to have any strong effects? and would 15mg be too much?

just start with 5 mgs. btw ambien is not a benzo however it is similar.

I used to get 10 mgs of it. Try 10, I used to do 20 mgs or 30 easily. 5 will probably just make you sleepy.

I'd try 10mg as that's the higher Rx dose. The recreational effects aren't worth losing a good sleeping pill IMO. But I have a history of insomnia and there have been times when sleep was pretty much unattainable.

didn't feel anything off the 5, waited 30 min still nothing took another 5mg, got a bit of a sedation feeling. Warmth and what now. A little trouble walking but nothing really else atm.
So I'm currently on 15mg Zolpidem but my qeustion now is....
What is going on? Lol, I feel real slow and sluggish and a bit spacey...
Is there anything that can hit me in the face in the next 30-45 min that I'm missing? If this is IT meaning if this is what Ambien feels like, why not just take some Bendadrly because they both are feeling each other out

Ambien is a drug that needs to be taken as a single dose IME. Otherwise things just get weird.

Be careful..they will 'zannie' you out..my ex took em after we split..she took one,nothing..then another..nothing..then one more...and chased her mom and dad with a knife and ended up in the corner weilding the knife screaming at them..she was bat shit crazy but I doubt it was parents..she said she was incoherent like when I overdid it on mdma(that's what her parents told her anyways)..id start smal but I really feel its a waste of time if you're just gonna go to sleep/not remember...be safe!

well based off duck's post..things are getting weird because you didn't take it as a single dose, lol.

My wife has been on that stuff for years. She is now on5 mg because 10 made her do weird shit in her sleep. Empty the fridge and leave a huge messin the night, Drive off In a waken sleep and end up god knows where. Never remembered in the AM. She didn't enjoy shit. IMHO this is in no way a recreational drug. Makes you do crazy, with no memory, or upside.peace & be kind

I have heard of a few people doing stuff in their sleep and not remebering . Mater of fact some congress man or other political figure blamed a car crash on it a few years ago


I heard it's better to sniff it , never tryed it but it is said to be painfull

Chasing a buzz with ambien leads to a very strange stupor and the Ambien Walrus comes to visit you a d you go on bizzare adventures you'll never remember.

How do you know they are bizzare if yu can't remember them??
As long as the walrus brings some pot and oysters...

Hmm..youtube college caper special..bottle of ambien,frathouse,video camera...fun for the entire family!!!

and WD worse than any benzo you wished you'd never taken..talk about wanting to fucking kill yourself..

Ambiens not bad recreationally..
It's interesting while it lasts, and I can only know the true feeling when it is happening in a current moment haha

Just make sure you have someone watching you. That stuff (to me) is fun to do for the fuck of it, but you might do very stupid things if you're alone. I remember one time I couldn't, for the life of me, tell whos arms were mine. I kept grabbing for things, thinking that my arm was the peoples' around me. I knocked like 10 things over lol

I had a really strange, more memorable experience with it and 25i nBOME. Took 1mg 25i, then waited until that kicked in, took 30mg ambien, then waited a few hours and took 1mg more of 25i. I had some very VERY surrealistic psychedelic visuals. There was snow on the ground but there wasn't, this tree outside looked like it had giant precious gems embedded into it. My friends face turned into a weird fractally twisty turny series of his face facing itself, forming a crazy psychedelic tree. I remember that one very well..
I don't remember a lot of it because ambien, but while it lasted it was very interesting..

Anyways, it's good for sleep too. lol

By going CSI on the evidence you leave behind. You think you can party with a walrus all night and not leave clues about your activity?

Empty oyster shells?lol

i meant to say 10 mgs. i got it confused because my friend actually just gave me a 10mg the other day. he said take it the next time i cant sleep at night. he told me if you fight drowsiness off you get real fucked up if you take enough. not sure how much you need to take to get to that level though. when i posted i was thinking it was a 5 for some reason. i prefer regular benzos myself by prescription cause it's legal, they make me feel good and sleep great. i dont normally take in the daytime though. feel too much like a zombie. i also prefer not to take them all the time because you get a tolerance pretty quick. as far as the ambien i think i'll save mine for medicinal use rather than recreational. sometimes the weed just isnt enough to make me sleep because i have a high tolerance to it.

forgot to add, i know a guy that was prescribed to it and his dose was too high. he woke up to a mess in his kitchen. eggs cracked all over his silverware. stuff on the stove. big mess everywhere. he remembers nothing. good thing he didnt turn his stove on or drive somewhere. i've heard of people waking up in their vehicle in the ditch and not knowing why nor did they consume any alcohol. i've even heard of people showing up for work all fucked up and no one notices until an accident happens and they have no memory of coming to work. ambien is some crazy shit.
