Well I've been getting some strange PMs asking what each drug did so here is kind of a solution to each question in general.

Ambien - Prescribed for immediate assistance to treat insomnia. This is generally insomnia caused by jetlag or perhaps some extremely stressful event in your life (death of a loved one or something such as that). Ambien comes in 5 and 10 mg dosages. It is taken on an empty stomach (it will absorb into the system faster) immediately before bed time. I was prescribed the 10 mg dosage, it takes about 10-30 minutes to kick depending on how fast your metabolism is. Once it kicks in, its an unbelievable feeling, its completely relaxing, and you lose your short term memory. One thing I noticed when I first started taking it and watching television, the things started to appear more "real" as if there was depth in the television, a third dimension, it was weird. The other thing is that the second you close your eyes you will drift into deep sleep and wont wake up for at least 4 hours.

Vicodine - Heavy narcotic that is based on ibuprofen and codone. It is used to treat serious pain, usually after surgeries, or major traumas to the body. It comes in various dosages and can also be injected as a liquid. The dosages are 500 mg, 750 mg, and 1000 mg (very rare). The injection rates are generally in 500 mg range. The pills are taken with food and water (to help prevent the stomach acids from generating bad gas in your stomach). The results is a complete numbness of your body. It takes alot of vicodine to effect me, like upwards to 4000 mg, but I would notice that my speech would become slurred and my thoughts slowed down rapidly, I would also carry on stupid conversations when in public, and I would lose all sense of reality (the pain was all completely gone). When I would close my eyes it would feel like I was falling, or sinking into myself, and usually I would immediately pass out.

Hydrocodone - Heavy narcotic, that is tylenol (I believe) and codone based. This drug is slightly stronger then vicodine as there are extra ingredients inserted in with it to increase the effects of the codone. This is generally prescribed for post serious surgeries and major traumas. Though I have heard of it being used to treat head aches and birth pains. The dosages are the same as vicodine though generally you only need 500-750 mg to get fucked up on this stuff. Same results when I took it.

Sonata - Similar to Ambien, except it makes you more drowsy and dizzy then "high", you really just become drunk and confused. It comes in 10 mg dosages.

Soma - This is a light pain killer and anti-anxiety medication. It can also be used to treat short term insomnia. The drug results in a slight numbness of your senses and definitely slurs your speeches when taken in larger doses. I took doses of 10 mg, but I believe it is available in upwards to 50 mg.

Tramadol - Another pain killer, similar to Soma. Dosages are in 10 mg to 20 mg. It may also be used as an anti-anxiety and may be injected into patients to help calm them down. I noticed no effects on my system after ingesting tramadol.

Valium/Diazepam - Anti-anxiety, pain killer, and sleep medication. This is one of the better drugs to take. It is safe on your system, and generally cleaned out within 6 hours. In its proper dosages (4,5,10 mg) it will create a slight "happy" sensation. When overdosed it creates an extreme high comparable to a marijuanna high, except with extreme relaxation and no nervousness or twitching. This can be a dangerous.

All of these drugs do leave their toll on your liver and stomach. I have gone through the withdrawals from overdosage, such as vommitting, consistent diarhea, heat flashes, seizures, convulsions, and of course feeling faint at times. Though this has all started to settle down now.

I hope that answers the questions so I stop getting PMed about them.

If you are prescribed these medications, take them as directed do not overdose. It isn't worth the risk on your body. I am lucky to be alive and thankful now for the third chance.
