First Experiment with Zolpidem; Ambien. Dose: 10mg+10mg+10mg= 30mg Zolpidem. I took valium (diazepam) yesterday, and xanax (alprazolam) on several occasious in the past two weeks. Tolerance to benzo's is probably increased. Emotions prior: chill, little sleepy, excited to try this nonbenzodiazapine drug that is supposed to feel like a benzo. Drugs use history: LSD, LSA, DXM, DPH, Opiates (Hydrocodone & hydromorphone are my favs, but I've done every opiate except heroin.) Marijuana (daily), Benzodiazepines of all types, Amphetamine (lisdextro, dextro), Methylphenidates, Magic Mushrooms, 'legal' variations of all, and many many many other substances.

Drugs taken today: Baclofen (GABA-B agonist) 15mg, few hours earlier. Shouldn't mess with the effects too much if at all. Marijuana, 1 bowl smoked several hours earlier. Lets go! Here is the experience:

10:00: Swallow one pill. Total dose= 10mg Zolpidem

10:05: Swallow second pill. (spread out doses to create a more gradual onset) Total dose= 20mg Zolpidem

10:06 I smoke one very small bowl, which totals to one hit. (I am a daily marijuana smoker, so this is barely anything considering my tolerance.)

10:10 ---10:20: Shower / putting on PJ's. Nothing else noteworthy happening.

10:24 : Something is happening. I feel mentally slower, and like things are happening a full period of time before I am able to comprehend them.

10:26 My laptop appears to be slanty.. And all the keys get smaller as you go down the slant. Strange. The screen too. Weird.

10:28 While walking to get a water, I noticed the onset of a familiar emotion, but I am unable to put my finger on what the word is.

10:30 It was euphoria that I was feeling. Small amounts of euphoria are present at this point in the trip.

10:38 The last eight minutes were stressful for some reason. Maybe because I was rushing to write the info and stuff that I put at the very beginning of this report.

10:39 I feel like everything is bending in ways it shouldn't be. But still I am enjoying it a lot. My perception of environment is crazy off. Haha. I am having a hard time spelling and typing, I notice throughout this report thus far.

10:49 Getting into music. Currently Animal Collective is playing, perfect for this occasion. Really getting into the music, dancing head and singing and all. Good fun! Perception is still crazy off. I wonder if I can walk.

(gets up to try). I can sort of walk. Stumble a bit, but am able to get from A to B.

10:54 take +10mg Zolpidem. Effects so far are good, but I want a stronger more intense experience. This should spruce things up a bit. Currently I feel so good. Zero anxiety is in me. So chill, and quite happy/pleased with everything. Total dose = 30mg Zoldipem.

11:01 Music is good, but not finding myself getting lost in the music, rather in the words as what would happen with weed. The room & everything is moving. Obviously it's not really physically moving, but I perceive it to me in constant random motion. Everything.

11:15 I don't think I have felt the effects from the third dosage yet. Could be wrong though. At times I feel bad fucked up, then suddenly I will be completely normal, but only for a few seconds before returning to madness. It's allowing me to really see how messed up I am.

11:18 I keep having these subconscious visions of being in a completely different situation, then I like look up and forget that I an not at the made up place. It's weird and hard to explain. When I move my head, lines. Or trails, flow. Mad cool. Light based hallucinations are quite present.

11:25 Trip to the Bathroom. This should be interesting. Bathroom was fun. I was able to think in a straight line. Though nothing seemed important at the time, so I just let my mind wonder.

11:32 I have a slight headache.

11:45 I decided that I feel infinite. I feel like I can do anything, but I'm too lazy and tired to actually try anything.

12:00 Effects are lessening now. Still messed up in the head big time, still have weird perception, just slowly becoming more 'normal'.

12:15 Effects still going down. I notice while glancing through my report, two full hours have gone by, but to me it feels like about 15 minutes. Time flies faster while on this drug, in contrast with pot which makes things seem to take forever. Overall good experience.
