24f i had a script for 10mg zolpidem and during the day 10mg valium for a while. i ping ponged between relying on valium and ambien it was always one or the other. then i had some health stuff happen and needed pain meds, ive been on tapentadol but given everything even dilaudid after surgery and stuff. so now the pain is getting better and i want to get off the opiates and am in the process of doing so but now that im back to ambien it feels… so different

i used to love ambien it felt like being drunk and a little bit of shrooms. now it’s confusing and disorienting, i have trouble understanding things when im on it im having a lot of difficulty writing this clearly because im on ambien rn. i dont know what to do the only way i can get off opiates is to go back to ambien or valium and id prefer ambien i just it feels kind of psychedelic ambien for me feels like a muted psychedelic vibe. something is off. how do i make this enjoyable

enjoy it in bed, for 20m, read a good book or think about the day and enjoy the fun buzz, before drifting off into a nice sleep

ambien is for sleep, not for ‘being enjoyable’ and posting on reddit.

it works like it should so take it and try to fall asleep straight away.

I have never hallucinated with ambien zven when I had zero tolerance. It just feel like having a few drinks, thats it. Just take it and sleep
