I'm not going to snort it or shoot it or anything "drug addict-like". Some nights it kicks in quickly and other nights it barely helps for hours. What safe methods can I use to increase it's effectiveness?
Answer:
There are none, other then taking it on an empty stomach. Snorting doesn't make it work any faster, you can't shoot it because it doesn't dissolve in water and few people know how to safely dissolve ambien and shoot it.The problem with ambien is that it never works as good as it does those first few nights, and tolerance starts to build in less than a week. The more you take it, the less effective it becomes. It is for short term usage only, like a week. More than that and tolerance followed by dependency develops quickly, and the next thing you know you are not only not sleeping more than 3-4 hours a night, but once you wake up at 3am you can't get back to sleep at all without taking more ambien. By this time, you can't stop taking it because you get zero sleep without it. Welcome to ambien hell. It has got to be one of the most addictive drugs out there, it only takes a week or two and you are hopelessly hooked and can't stop taking it without going through weeks of hellish insomnia.

What do you think my doctor will prescribe for insomnia after a tolerance to ambien 10 mg is developed?
I need to know if he is going to give me any good pills cuz thats wat im after lol...include mg please and btw my doctor does prescribe benzodiazepines so i think that is an option...
Answer:
You are better off without sleeping pills.To sleep better just relax and switch off, if you can.If you are having trouble switching off at bedtime some light exercise (for example, push ups or sit ups) at bedtime often helps you to relax, unwind and switch off and that often improves your sleep. Strenuous exercise at bedtime is likely to ruin your sleep.Common sleep aids include warm milk, Chamomile tea, 5-HTP, Melatonin and Valerian.
Sleep enhancing foods are supposed to include turkey, cherries, oatmeal, bananas, and wine.

How to make ambien kick in faster?
I've been taking ambien every night for 3 months. lately it hasn't been working that well. Could it be im developing a tolerance to it? and how can i make it kick in faster?
Answer: There is nothing you can do. You have already developed tolerance to the drug - that happens in just a few weeks. Worse, after only three months, you have developed a substantial dependence on it also. If you don't believe me, quit taking it and see what happens. You will not sleep. At all. Ambien takes away from the brain the ability to sleep without more ambien, and it takes a very very long time for the brain to recover this ability. Ambien tends to be a one-way prescription - once you start, you can't stop.When I quit taking ambien, I suffered severe insomnia and severe sleep deprivation for four very long very hellish months. My doctor said it was because I took ambien, and that it would take about six months to recover.

If a medication's half life is 2 hours, how long does the medicine's effect actually last?
If the type of medicine matters in this equation, I am on 10 mg of Ambien, due to insomnia. (I take it at night between 8 or 9 before bed so I'll be awake and alert at school.) Anything you can tell me about what half lives mean, pertaining to medicines, I'd appreciate it! I'm pretty curious about the scientific side of the medicine, if that makes sense. It's been 10 years since my middle school science classes so I'm a bit fuzzy on all that.
Answer:
"Half-life" refers to the amount of time it takes for the concentration of a medication to decrease by 50%. So if the concentration of a medicine peaks at 100 units, and the half-life is 2 hours, then the concentration will be 50 units in 2 hours, 25 units in 4 hours, 12.5 units in 6 hours, and so on. How long a medicine has its effect is rather subjective, since how that effect is perceived varies from person to person. Generally it is hard to pick an exact point at which the effect is gone.

Does anybody get a pink bar ambien that has a 10 on it and like a shape on the back?
Mine use to be yellow circles that said 10 mg on it and it said zpm. Now there pinkish. Bars that say 10 mg on them and with like a dice on the back. Anyone else get those?
Answer: I would guess that it is just another Manufacturer that puts out a different color pill of Ambien, most likely it is the generic form or maybe the one you use to take was the generic.
