>>41888Actually mostly addicted to Ambien. Now THAT was a special hell all its own. I never did much heroin so I can't compare but over time with high dose use it messes up your digestion and immune system in serious ways that doctors never tell you about when they put you on them. I wish I could meet some fellow Ambien-as-drug-of-choice addicts.
Someone described the high on r9k I thought rather well:
>take 20mg on an empty stomach (two pills)>within fifteen minutes, muscles relax so much that your body feels like a giant fluffy pillow>you soon lose the ability to type coherent sentences on your keyboard and this becomes very funny in retrospect>shortly therafter, you start hallucinating pretty colors >music sounds incredible, movies are a feast for the eyes, novels are profound to the point of tears>you wind up doing things like standing in front of a painting for an hour, opening and closing your hand, trying to catch the trees; or staring at a lamp and playing with the strands of color that drift slowly towards you>feel very calm, happy, safe, and carefree>eventually, come down and go off to sleepy land >have pleasant, vivid dreams >wake up feeling well-rested and satisfied>look back at your computer history and laugh at all the silly shit you wrote the night beforeBest three months of my life. Only blacked out once (and I was occasionally taking 50 to 60mg doses, which is just a waste) and all I did was just take a few more pills and watch a film. Never felt compelled to drive, go outside, or do anything stupid. Nothing compares to Ambien. I'm going to try to get a new prescription soon. It gave me a reason to live.
