First of all I'd like to say that I've never abused pharms before, and although I have been depressed in the past, I had zero thoughts of harming myself months leading up to this incident.

I had recently been having trouble sleeping soundly through the night, so I talked to my doctor about it, and he prescribed me Ambien. It worked wonders in putting me to sleep fast and helping me stay asleep through the night. I had taken it maybe 7-8 times in a two week period and didn't give it a second thought.

This morning, however, after taking an single 10mg Ambien the night before (my prescribed dosage), awoke very groggy with a headache. At first I didn't think anything of it, took an advil and went about my business. Several hours later I found a half crushed Ambien the floor of my bedroom, and after checking my desk, found an my prescription bottle completely empty, with a rolled up business card next to it.

After investigating the bathroom I found traces of vomit on the floor next to the toilet. I have no idea what happened, I can only assume I woke up after going to bed and starting snorting Ambien until I had killed the entire bottle. I have never snorted anything in my life so this experience has left me very troubled about the powerful affects of Ambien. I have never blacked out so terribly in my life and I'm only thankful that Ambien is generally rather non-toxic.

Author reports taking a total of 200 milligrams of zolpidem throughout the experience.
