I had another appointment with my pdoc yesterday and he gave me some zolpidem to help me sleep. We've decided to alternate between zolpidem and zopiclone in the hope of limiting tolerance, as this seemed to work for me in the past. Last night it made me hallucinate as it sometimes has done in the past. It didn't help me fall asleep particularly easily, maybe because it made the outside world world seem so interesting. Everything seemed 'cartooninsh' and plastic. It came on while I was brushing my teeth, as if I was looking down the plughole for a large distance. Wierd, but very entertaining. I'm looking forward to taking it tonight! From what I remember it doesn't happen every time I take it, but I've had quite a few interesting experiences with zolpidem.
On a different note, I raised the issue of Suboxone with pdoc. He said he'd consider it, but he wanted to speak with a collegue first. He said he would consult the hospital addiction specialist because he has more experience of using it. He did seem more lenient when I made the point it was the Suboxone preparation I was after rather than Temgesic or Subutex.
