Hi, I've never had Xanax but I am familiar with Clonozapam.

Right now I've taken .50mg, which I heard is a fairly low dose. What should I expect with this much of a dose. Would it be wise to take another and if so when?

This is for a recreational purpose.
 
We aren't here to help you get high (see our Guidelines), but we can discuss the safety and dosing.

Do you have a tolerance to benzodiazepines? How it will affect you and what is a safe or "wise" dose or time/amount to redose is going to vary depending on whether or not you have a tolerance and your own individual sensitivity to alprazolam (like any drug, it can affect different people to different degrees). You don't want to put yourself in a position where you are blacking out or passing out.

Also is it regular/instant release or extended release? I am assuming regular release but wanted to check to make sure.

0.5mg should be a safe starting dose (assuming you aren't on any other CNS depressant drugs). 0.5 mg is the starting dose usually given to people for panic attacks, which can be taken three times a day (for general anxiety people are usually started on 0.25mg). Wait a while and see how it affects you before deciding whether or not to take more. It should make you feel calm, relaxed, pleasant and less inhibited. How are you feeling right now and how long ago did you take it? You should feel peak effects 1-2 hours from taking it.

I took two .25mgs. They are not ER. My apologies on the whole "Helping me get high" part.
I feel fine, I usually am an anxious person. No constant arising thoughts or any problems. Makes me feel like I can think clearer. But I am also very relaxed in my arms/shoulders.

Also, as of now I wouldn't say I have a tolerance. I've never been the one too keep taking pills, if you know what I meant.

I just wanted a view on it.
 
No problem :) It's very good to seek out info on any drug you are going to do. We just don't really do "how much should I take to get high?" type questions, more like "how much can I safely take?". How long ago did you take it? If it's been an hour or 2, you are probably fine to take another 0.5mg. It's probably best not to take more than 2mg in one day. And try not to take it too often, as you certainly don't need a dependence.
 
I definitely won't build an addiction for it. Thanks for the knowledge. I took them at about 8:00 PM, maybe a little before. Thanks for the heads up about the Xanax and forum rules.

My friend had just lent me a few to try and was curious to hear what your bluelighters had to say.
 
Sorry I have no idea how long ago 8pm was since we're all in different time zones :)

You could try sticking around and seeing if anyone else replies to your post. Personally I do not think it's fun or a good idea to take so much that it causes amnesia, so I'd say the best thing would be to redose only after every 2 hours and only if needed and you're not experiencing very strong effects, and not go above 2mg total since it's your first time taking it. Maybe there might be some other people on here with more alprazolam experience, but of course as I mentioned it can vary depending on your sensitivity. You could also look up trip reports to see what effects people got from different doses. I might be being on the safe side with my recommendations, as I know people do take much more than that, but I think they probably had a tolerance or an extremely high natural tolerance (and/or that high of doses just made them pass out or black out and have no idea what happened).

Oh and of course don't mix it with alcohol or opioids etc. I've overdosed that way and it was not cool :(

Hope you have a good night :)

honestly if having a panic attack even 0.25mg of xanax is enough to kill the panic attack without leaving you drowsy or disoriented, alot of people get that confused, they think if they dont feel the sedation it isnt helping. 0.5mg is plenty enough for osmeone who is not abusing benzos
 
i started taking 1mg a day when i was 18 and im 29 now i take 3-6 mgs a day easily...it builds up in your system #tolerance..
 
Do not do recreational benzos. Harm reduction doesn't get any better than this.
 
i dont do it recreational , after having 8 anxiety attacks where i wasnt even on any drugs, im a veteran, have real bad anxiety

Funny thing is i quit xanax cold turkey, it takes me 3 days to quit, sweat cant sleep, shitt, lol, but ive been on it for 10 years so, when i withdrawl i dont really mind it becuase i take roxycodone on top of that so it helps with the sickness

^^ This is just so bad on so many levels.
I'll just say that there is nothing "funny" about stoppong xanax cold turkey.
It's a one way ticket to Seizure City.
