Hi,

Bath salt is synthetic cathinone, using a recreational drug has gained worldwide popularity. Popular type synthetic cathinones are 3,4 -methylenedioxymethcathinone (methylone) and 3,4 - methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV). These drugs are structurally similar to 3,4 - methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) and many of its physiological and behavioral effects in human. Low doses for recreation, they can enhance mood and energy.

High doses or chronic use can cause some serious medical complications like agitation, psychosis, tachycardia, hyperthermia and even death. Ambien is zolpidem tertrate act as a sedative. An abuser can get energy and euphoria after consuming large doses. Abusing this medication can cause confusion, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, drowsiness, dry mouth, clumsiness, increase the risk of falls, fractures and accidents, depression, suicidal thoughts, nightmares etc.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
