Would .25mg of Xanax be enough?

For someone with no tolerance or have never done Xanax
 
Yes, that's a reasonable starting dose to be sure. Just don't combine with any other central nervous system depressants. (This is where the real risk come into play.) Xanax kicks in rather quickly, so if the .25mg doesn't have you where you want to be, add another making your total dose .5mg which IMO is plenty for someone who has never done it before.

Just on a side note, don't make a habit of this, as becoming dependent / addicted to benzos is a very nasty business.
 
I'd say that most people I've encountered really only start to feel good recreational effects at the 2mg mark, but I'd recommend starting at .5mg and carefully working your way up if that dosage isn't enough for you. I wouldn't suggest going higher than 1.5mg-2mg since it's your first time.

Both posts are very true.

For me Xanax was not really enjoyable until I took 2mg, but on the other hand, Benzodiazepine addiction for over 3 years was not enjoyable at all.
 
Yes - my first ever experience with benzos and Xanax was at 0.25 and it was a very good dose, as I was having really bad panic attacks and it was great both in terms of calming me down and getting me high. Don't push it with benzos as it will lead to a very difficult to beat addiction if you start dosing high. They also cause a great deal of brain fog and can cause you to black out if you're not experienced or tolerant to them either, Xanax especially, as its a very potent benzo.
 
Yeah 0.25mg should be fine, Xanax is very effective.
As was said though, please please please don't make a habit out of it. Benzo addiction is a nightmare.

^^THIS!

IMO there is not much recreational value above a 1MG dose.
If you get to the point where you feel like you need more, it's probably a good idea to cut back a little.

swim(do you guys use that her?) gave a friend 2mg once while at a buddys house copping some herb.
well, swim ended up staying and hanging out a while and swim's friend ended up taking an hour nap on 'the mans' bed haha

..was funny at the time
 
OP...

Don't blow your tolerance to it for the sake of recreation.
Trust me, benzo tolerance builds up in days, and unfortunately there is no "rewind" or "do over" with this.
Once your tolerance to benzos (esp xanax) is up (and as I said this can happen in a few days), it will never come back to level.

Think hard and if you need the 0.25mg for anxiety by all means take it, but I'll be happy if you remember what I have written above.
 
As with benzos and a lot of drugs its start at scratch.Before you know it you will be needing those 2mg doses anyhow natural progression to the drug so to speak.!!! Benzos in my opinion are used for 2 things in my case genuine anxiety after exhausting all other allternatives or very rarely recreationally.The latter once experienced with benzos. I adopt the phillosaphy as reguards to benzodiazapines DONT RUN BEFORE YOU LEARN TO WALK!!!!! stay safe enjoy buddie!!
 
You didn't actually define what enough means so it could be anything from 'calm me down' to 'make me black out'.

But since you don't have any tolerance you will probably feel something from it.

And as the others have said there is no point in taking more than you need.
 
I noticed after doing research the MAJORITY of people who hate xanax and don't feel good off them and just get a sleep feeling usually dosed too high.

Then again after research the MAJORITY of people who dosed low .25-.50 of xanax felt amazing, not sleeping, sense of well being, just great. Usually these people who felt great off them have some sort of anxiety as well, compared to ones who just get sleepy don't even have anxiety.

Could it be XANAX is really that potent and in higher doses it just sucks?

Trying out .25 of xanax right now. Split 2mg gador into a quarter then split that in half
