Anyone know anything about this drug ? Doc prescribed this to me. Im not up on other kinds of treats so if this is a really ignorant question than I apologize already.
Zolpidem is a sleeping pill. They're loosely related to benzo's, but are less habit forming. I used to take them regularly, but don't bother these days. If you take them every night, they lose their effectiveness, so just take them when you're wide awake and can't sleep, coz they might help you get a few hours.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Diff, Ive been on the web looking for info. Do they do anything at all to help w heroin cravings etc ? I'll admit my sleep patterns are still not the best but what I needed was help for the constant craving....does this stuff help at all ?
Thanks Jack. went to the site...crap scares me...have no idea if this is something i need or not...doc told me to take one tab now while awake...cant find anything on this drug except bad news and nothing that says its used for heroin treatment...i know im being overly picky probably considering the s*** ive put into my veins but i know what im suppose to feel w heroin and i dont know what this stuff is...im not making a lot of sense...i know...im irritable and pissed off and craving....so i apologize....thanks for answering
Con ive used/prescribed them.....they give me one a night at my clinic...i dont take them all the time ...they comes from a group of meds called hypnotics and as Diff said they work like benzos.....also as Diff said they lose there effectivness after bout 6wks.I only take em if im having a really rough night.....but when i was a 24/7 addict i also had a really bad addiction to all kinds of downers...you name a benzo or a similar drug and ive taken it in very copius amounts(aint bragging).....mixed with booze they are a lethal combo...i know ..well i think yer not a drinker so that wont be a prob.yrs ago i would have no hesitation downing 6 or 7 with a bottle of wine Oh!! yeah out of it but one of there side effects is short term memory loss.

guys...im appreciating all the feedback...really..but,..im sitting here in tears...im truly hurting...dont know why all of a sudden im feeling like this...feels like im losing my fking mind...i dont want to blow 3 weeks and 2 days of being clean but right now all i want is a fix....crap.. ive got 2 codien left and im thinking maybe there better then this zol stuff...never been on benzos and i dont know if its a good thing or a bad thing...doc wanted me to take them this morning, not wait until tonight...i just dont fking know and im so frustrated because it took so much to go to the damn doc this morning and explain all this s*** and i feel let down and just confused and im roller coasting....and i cant stop crying...need adivce please
Listen, Con, I don't think stuff like zolpidem really do much for cravings. Lets face it, all sleep inducing drugs are pretty pale in comparison to King Morphine - hell they even named the god of sleep after the stuff. Yeah it's possible to take enough benzos/hypnotics to make you hit oblivion for a few hours, but they don't do much for cravings. Subutex are great for cravings, better than meth I think, but there's little point in you taking them now coz they are an addictive opiate, and you are clean, so it would be a step backwards. What you really need is a change of mindset. You are like a heartbroken lover, craving the thing that gave you so much comfort. You are grieving. You miss it like crazy. You are looking backwards, but you need to look forwards. You need to come to terms with your loss. In my mind, I say, yeah, I did a lot of smack, I really f***ing enjoyed it, but it was stopping me from achieving genuine happiness, it was getting in the way of my life, my relationships, my natural growth, so I took the choice to end that relationship. Waste no time in putting new plans, new anything, into practice. you need something else to focus on. One foot in front of the other. The only way out is through. This is just a phase, and you're bigger than that s***ty drug. Don't let it into your head. Just force yourself to think about something else.
Don't worry about the tears - it's normal!

s***.thanks Diff...ya, its true. your right. and ya..im missing it like crazy. thanks for the slap on the head...cuz i needed to hear that...and what a s***ty phase this is...im just crying all day......man...i dont know....the only way out is through but I tell ya Diff this isnt fun...almost rather take the wds through again instead of feeling like a crazy person all day
I do kinda remember what it was like. I remember walking through town with tears pouring down my face, feeling so lost and alone. I dealt with it by throwing myself into making my new flat into a home - big job, coz it was a s***hole. But it gave me something to do. I took my dog for lots of walks. I tried doing stuff I'd never done before. I even went on dates! LMAO! I'm not a dating kinda girl... ha, one guy asked me if I wanted to go to the beach. Yeah, great I said. He took me to a nudist beach! We got a one year old daughter now - that shows how desperate I was!!! Seriously though, I was lucky coz I had a brilliant support worker, and she would come round and see me all the time. You do go sort of crazy, and it's not all cravings, it's having to deal with stuff, instead of just saying f*** it, let's chuck another bag on the spoon. But you still sort of function as a regular person, whereas I was way out there, selling gear for a living, and living like a refugee. You just gotta do whatever it takes, and you gotta find out what it is you really need. It sure as hell ain't smack, so do a bit of exploring...

Oh K, ya got three weeks in and two days?..........that explains it.......you're going to be crying at commercials........toilet paper commercials even.
It's a mind f**k ya know, Con...........and like ya said the staying clean si the hard part...............it's like bring back the withdrawls.
Diff gave ya great advice.............it's kind of well was for me like when you break up with someone................and you're doing good............and weeks pass and suddenly it like "Where's that person? What are they doing? I'll never see them again. This is it".............only way more intense........if that makes any sense.
Remember the penjalum theory and I know I spelled it wrong..........dope says allllllllllll the way to the left............withdrawl is allllllllllllllll the way to the right..........and now your bonging and a chiming all out of sink in the middle.......but you are getting there.................go another day........get through tonight and then another day............you can do it.
Too Con we think well that part is over and I should be feeling better........and I just laid it all on the line to this Doctor.............and now I want my dope da*n it.............then what, Con...............Diff did her home decorating.............how's about a hobby.........seriously............but Con all of us.......all of us walked around crying..................my way was walking and I walked miles and miles.......and even in the pouring rain and I'd be balling my little sissy-la-la eyes out.................and it s*cks being able to feel...........it truly does.
Don't go back out Ma you're doing great...............get some Omega 3 I am promising you it helps..................as for the benzo's............just me.......personally I wouldn't take them...........they always made me wicked mean.................all being nasty and stuff.............I don't like them, but if ya think ya can catch some sleep maybe.............but ya did the homework.......Omega 3 won't do ya in.....thinking of you and I'm real proud of ya............really proud.
