Ambien Hallucinations

No comment.

I know those little fuckers, I once took a load of tablets called valoid if my memory serves me well. I was told that takin quite a few more than the prescribed dose gave a similar hit to acid. The hit was closer to psychosis than anyfin else. The end result sounds like the same little twats that tormented me for around six hours are back. I believe that after several similar horror stories the pills are prescription only now. Wow, this is like a flash back, it must av been 20 odd years ago.

Don't go in the cupboard wiv em, they are not to be trusted. Ask if one of ems called Gavin n if he's there tell him he's a cunt.

follow! they'll take you to narnia.

I am totally into the idea of traveler's amensia. Sleep medications like Ambien and Lunesta can cause amnesia that can last up to 8 hours. Most people obviously don't notice it, because they're asleep, but if you take one on a plane or whatever, if you get woken up in the middle of the pill's efficacy, you can effectively lose your entire memory until the pill wears off. I can't wait to see what kind of flipper babies or whatever come as a result of sleep medications in the next 20 years. 

They might be little cobbler elves. Do you got a lot of shoes?

Nice post Dave. One of the best things about the New York meet up was the fact that you are now a regular poster.

In Ireland we dont have elves just those damn pesky Leprechauns... little bastards.

Sleep is for the weak and powerless.

Try Barbiturates.

I too am all aware of the effects of being without sleep. I have gone on a long stretch (longest is 4 days) without it but for the most part I usually manage about 2 or 3 hours of restless sleep every night. Ive tried Xanax and just tried Ambien. The Ambien got me a solid 4 hours but I still am woozy, think that is from the drug though.

Anyway, I havent seen the "cobweb" men, but the effects of being without sleep in and of itself are enough to make you see things. On day 3 of a recent stretch I was starting to get that feeling of stiff skin on your face...you know, where the only way to get it off is to wash it for a min then its right back there an hour later? It was finally nighttime and I was just chillin and trying to sleep when I saw a damn wearwolf head poke around my doorframe, look at me, then pull back and he was gone!

Insomnia man...its a bitch.

That you managed to convince them to pose with you is what impresses me. Of course I've never actually tried to interact when those little things have visited me, I just mostly ignore them or try to kick them out of the room.

What I am gathering here is that they, apparently, put on at least a guise of friendliness when you pay attention to them? But how can you be sure? Sure that they are just mishiviously benevolent? I'd worry about the ones trying to get you in the closet, the closet is a great place for solace... but maybe not so much when something or someone else is leading you in.

I took two Ambiens, one night. I had the most amazing hallucination! My Jack Skeleton poster came alive and started beckoning me to come to him. I was absolutely terrified of Jack Skeleton at the point and I came to the realization that he must want to take me back to hell with him. His arms moved towards me and I froze out of fear. Just kept telling myself.... This isn't real, this isn't real. I Then looked over at my fiancee's face and was instantly terrified of him. His face looked like the devil's face! His eyes were all sunk in and black and his mouth (when he smiled) looked like wolves teethes! Every picture in the room started moving, the walls and the floors all made me feel like I was in a bubble. I had another poster of the Hardy Boys on my wall. They also started mouthing and motioning "come come come". I layed in my bed absolutely terrified and not wanting to fall asleep because at this point, my mind had decided that sleeping was a VERY bad idea. I keet feeling like i need to be doing something... but no clue as to what this thing may be. So, I looked at my fiancee's terrifying face (which at this point, I decided he really is the devil and i must make him happy or he's going to drag me to hell with him) and decided that a blowjob would be my ticket out of hell. It was the most terrifying BJ ever. Service the devil to stay out of hell. And I did a good job because I woke up in my bed and not in hell.

i want some ambien

@TopGun

I too had wonderful Hallucinations. Mine were always consistent.

As I laid in bed, (it probably came from an Alternate universe)---however, would start the size of a Quarter...and slowly (Pleasurably)---continue to slowly spin these Star burst Yarn/Thread like colors (complete spectrum of the rainbow). One long connected "string".

Naturally as it spun closer and closer to me, would get larger and larger. The wicked cool stuff is that I could interact with it. Reach out my hand, the slightest touch..it would break..I touched a small part...that part would break...start to repair itself....If I wiped it clean like a white board.....would all mess up..yet continue to keep spinning out this vortex the size of a Quarter.

It was a very nice trip. I tried several times/different methods to see if I could have other hallucinations---nothing worked.

I'm thinking my poor dog labeled me nuts long ago. I'd go wake him, see if I could get him to "talk back to me"

Poor Dog...he'd just look at me like he had "Bead head"--put his head back down to try to sleep..I'd shake him again. I'd say, NO NO this is important. I wanna know if you can talk. He never did.

Even tried to imagine people in my place. Nothing. Just the consistent trips of colorful yarn.

That's the best part of Ambien Tripping. You're not out of your SKULL like other things that make you Hallucinate. It's this weird you're awake, cognizant, like

Just like the OP. You can "think" to remember to take pics, etc. (or me "think" to try to talk to the dog).

*********************************
PS--Anyone else want to *FORCE* Ambien trips upon yourself. I think the trick is drinking caffeine late night after you have habituated to Ambien.

Obviously (Ambien)--quite the insomniac. So, I tend to eat dinner late night...10pm ish===Have a few Coca-Colas with dinner. Thus was keeping me awake enough for the Ambien to not knock me out.

Years later I took that 23andme.com DNA test. One thing it told me was that I was a "Poor Metabolizer" of Caffeine.

I never thought to try Red Bull.

@Notch_Johnson
Since your post was while ago--hope you still get this...Zzzquil, has been my SAVIOR! It's THE ONLY thing that's ever knocked me out cold a good 8-hours

PLUS, you don't have the dopey hang over (morning amnesia). FFS
When I was on Ambien. *laughing*---not kidding, I had to get a note card. Write on one side.

"The Dog HAS been Fed:
other side
"The Dog NEEDS TO BE fed".

So, you know. When I'd go go bed at night--just flip it to "NEEDS" for his joyful breakfast.

Because if I didn't do that....I literally not for $1MM remember if I fed him or not.

However Zzzzquil ROCKS! So much so (not joking)--I order it by the Case online. (it's 1/2 the price online as Grocery store)

Sites like soap.com, etc. Can even set up an "Auto Ship"--I am not joking. I ordered 24 bottled (12-2packs)---should last me a month. 2-packs from major sites tend to run around 11ish/12ish US. The Gorcery Store...a *SINGLE* runs $11--def order online.

Directions are 2-cups, I take 3. So go through a full bottle in about 5-ish days.

One word of warning though. When you take it, and feel tired *GO TO BED*--at least for me.

If I take it, start to get tired, but want to finish something working on. there's about a 45-minute window--you get VERY tired...if you stay up through that...you're *F'D*--won't be able to fall asleep. I'll go back, take 3-6 more cups---(weekend night)---Might fall asleep around 11 am--then wake up "HUNG OVER" feeling like heck.

*********************
Last thing, it's kinda/sorta like Ambien, in so much as if you do something "Nutty" you don't remember it, and you'll find out in the Morning...

I swear to God...happened last night. I have a "speech to Text" Droid phone. God knows what I was thinking....but I texted my girlfriend...*SWEAR*--Direct quote

"I swear to God I don't need this fruit or this fruit"

Your guess is good as mine..I"m *REALLY* scared to know if I wrote anything else. All the Text threads I have with her I deleted...Makes me wonder if I got to Batty--and I thought by deleting "MY END"--would delete hers.

***************************

So hide your cell phone from yourself..
Thank God I've yet to go down right "RUDE"/"CRUDE"--worst I did was a lady I'm in same networking group (100's of people--have yet to meet her in person)---Her FB--she has modeling type pics--looks like Sports Illustrated pics.

Wrote all this nonsense how hot she was, if she ever wanted to go out drinking, etc. I live center of district, can crash at my place, not worry to drive home,etc.etc

Thank God she took it in stride. Her reply was "LOL..I'm a 50-year old, happily married, grown kids, blah, blah, blah..so I'll have to pass.

Somewhere in my note must have mentioned sleep meds, as her 2nd reply was "I've never had side effects like that on sleep meds, oh well."

Took 2-months to get the nerve up to reply/write a note telling her. NO way to treat a woman/mom/someone's husband,etc. Said if she discussed with him, I'll man up and apologize to him too.

Again, she was like NO NO NO, ,you're taking this wrong. I'm not upset, didn't mention to my husband. Appreciated the compliments.

*shrug*---Trust me, there is no more horror, when you wake up, go to check FB--see the red dot of 6+ emails waiting. again, this time, thank God...girl--friends I knew, knew me, I'm harmless...but I was trying to convince them to come over for an NSA---the common them was "YOU NEED TO GO TO BED!!!"

*shrug*

This has been very informative.

haha

I remember writing this... I had actually been hiding in a closet earlier that week...

It had been a long week.

Most of my posts I am like that, not necessarily remembering them and being tripped out by them when I see them some time later.

After reding the new posts and commenting about this being informative I thought...

"I think I remember this topic, didn't I write something about trying to catch the little hallucination people and whether they were friendly and something about hiding in closets?" scrolled up and there it was!

And over 3 years ago! Good job!

It must have been because I wrote it when I was still fairly new here, now you all expect that sort of nonsense out of me and laugh at me about it mostly, back then most everyone seemed to skip over it and not comment.

"who the heck is this new weirdo?"

Mostly I feel like that every time I post, still.

This thread had me looking at some pretty old threads out of curiosity. I almost bumped one, but then decided not to. Though maybe somebody should remake it?

It was top ten lists of anything. The best one was "top ten times when the use of the word fuck was appropriate" (or something like that).

That would be a good thread!

You should make it.

I was thinking about it, but then I couldn't come up with a top ten anything! haha

A couple days ago, for some reason I forget now, I was reading through a thread from early 2003. The Cult Forums had been online about a week and I was ... having it out with Brock Landers (Figure...).

Anyway, I was all, "I remember making that very post. WHY do I remember making that post?"

Sheesh.

I don't know how anybody ever got through one of Brock's walls of texts. I could never get passed a few lines.

almost ten years old, haha

And it sounds like it wasn't even a post worth remembering.

What the hell is going on?

Well I did mention it twice here in the past two days sooo... that could be why.

I like looking back at my old posts, and everyone elses posts and wondering how drunk I was.

I do that whenever I see one of your posts, Noah.
