Ambien (Zolpidem) CR?

[immunity]

Sleepwise, is this any better than Ambien?

Recreationally speaking, is CR just a worse Ambien (due to the time-release "coating")? By the sound of it, if it were chewed, inhaled, or injected it would have the same recreational value as Ambien, except you would actually be getting more per bottle, since the pills come as 12.5mg tabs.

Has anybody used this stuff?

Snorting or injecting it wont work since it is practically insoluble in water. I think it is soluble in an alcohol solution, but injecting that would not very pleasant.

I'm not sure about the release mechanism for Ambien CR. It's probably possible to destroy it by cutting the pill up into many tiny pieces with a razor and swallowing those. It might be necessary to powder and swallow (with the help of water) though.

Ambien CR looks like it might be a little better for sleep, especially for those with early waking problems. Ambien is good for people who have insomnia due to "restless thoughts". Keep in mind Ambien is a "sleep aid". It's not going to knock you out or even make you very tired. It primarily works through slowing down people's thoughts.

For people who have problems associated with Ambien still remaning active 7 hours after taking it (such as blurred vision), Ambien CR will actually be worse.

Anti-psychotics and anti-depressants with sedative properties are still very effective (and widely prescribed) for insomnia.

a friend of swim has injected vodka, and got 'drunk', could that be used to inject ambien{cr}?

Ambien CR has two layers. One layer is the regular Ambien (the good stuff). It is white. The second layer is slower the slower acting Ambien. It is off-white, sorta yellowish. You can turn the pill vertical and slice gently with a very sharp razor right down the middle to reveal the two sides. You can then do one of 3 things.
1. Swollow one or both slices. The emptier your stomach, the better.
2. Place either one or both slices under your tongue and wait for oral absorbtion to take place.
3. For the brave soles. Place under wax paper. Crush into a fine as powder as possible. You may still have to do some razor blade work.

I still don't know to get that blue coating off. If anyone has any ideas let me know.

SWIM has a large amount of Ambien CR (Controlled Release) tablets, 12.5 mg of Zolpidem tartrate each. No matter what SWIM does, he can't seem to get high off these pills like he can with instant release Ambien. SWIM has tried swallowing, snorting (he found out that zolpidem was water insoluble later) and crushing/parachuting it. Parachuting 25mg of zolpidem, CR or not, SHOULD knock SWIM on his ass, but it barely feels like anything more than it would with 5mg of instant release Ambien. Why is this?

Swim would like to know how to get high off of ambien cr, swim has heard of a few methods, but would like to ask you guys what the most effective way was.

[tryptamaster]

just eatin it but the high isnt really anything fun...

SWIMs understanding is that Ambien CR ( as opposed to the original Ambien) has little potential for abuse. Either way, after consuming any significant dose of Ambien CR swiy would feel too drowsy to be "high" at all. It's a sleeping pill.
