DMT with Alprazolam

The only drug I like to use to get fucked up on is alprazolam (not counting marijuana). I have only used it about 7 times and its been a year since my last time. I dislike opiates, alcohol, and most other benzodiazepines (would love to get ahold of GHB though). DMT has some great relaxing and tranquilizing properties by itself, so I wonder what it would be like in combination with a depressant, specifically a benzo. I am not trying to achieve a DMT breakthrough with this combination - although I might go ahead and try for it - just an increased depressant quality with some added psychedelia. Does anyone have experience/advice regarding this?
 
Usually benzodiazepines reduce the effects of psychedelics to a large extent. They are often used as 'rescue' medications to get people to stop panicking on bad trips.

The "relaxing and tranquilizing" properties of DMT are wholly unrelated to the effects of benzoadiazepines.
 
i think you'd be better off without it. dmt is best when your mind is clean, imo. plus, don't you wanna remember the experience?

I was under the impression that you may only suffer memory loss if you overdo a benzo, and one of the ones with a longer half life like phenazepam.
 
But you are all missing my point. I'm saying I want to use alprazolam and then add DMT to it, not the other way around. I know I will not get psychedelic effects, I'm not aiming for that. I am aiming to potentiate the depressant effects of the alprazolam with DMT. My last experience with DMT left me extremely relaxed and it got me wondering.
 
Thy work in totally different ways. (DMT through 5ht1a agonism, benzos through GABA-A positive modulation) You're welcome to try, though.
 
Yes I know that, but DMT does have tranquilizing properties. I am going to try it one of these days, but I wanted to know if anyone has any actual experience with it.
 
I have. I don't remember the details but it didn't leave me particularly impressed. It probably made little difference to the DMT experience. As is usually the case with combining DMT with something else, the DMT overwhelms the effects of the other drug.
 
When I was still on Buprenorphine and Alprazolam I got down on DMT via smoking and insufflation. Smoking it seemed comparable to my "clean" times using DMT. I didn't break through on even a high 100mg dose, but I did have the geometric visuals through out my entire vision. I was fully aware of being on my couch and nowhere else though. It made me even more tired than usual. Alprazolam and opioids give me a lot of energy for some reason. I was taking at the very least 4mg of Alprazolam a day too.

When I snorted the DMT, I had to go lay down pretty much immediately. I just remember lying in bed regretting what I just did. By the time the negative feelings faded away, I wanted to function with the drug, but the real effects were gone.

I use to like snorting DMT, but that experience with it, even though it was in combination with other drugs, left me not wanting to ever do it that way again. Smoking it, you'll definitely get the psychedelic effects, but it's not going to be nearly as intense without being on a benzo. Alprazolam is a rather short lived benzo as well, so I'm sure effects will vary from when you last took it and so forth. I tried it with multiple time-lines after taking Alprazolam, and regardless of the circumstance, after smoking DMT, it left me so tired and lazy like I was a teenager again after smoking cannabis all day, so even though DMT is a short-lived psychedelic, I'd not have any real plans after it, just in case you're super lazy and groggy like I was.
 
It is going to REALLY dull down the experience. Any psychedelic while on a benzo will require a dosage much higher than normal. Generally, you won't have much going on in your head but some apparent visuals depending on dosage and what psychedelic. Honestly, benzos +psychedelics is not really fun. Though, if you have a bit of anxiety about psychedelics it may be nice to have it on you. Though, DMT is short acting. It would be a little more reasonable for a long acting psychedelic like LSD. Such as you know your prone to panic attacks, so you take .25 mg before the experience. A little bit of benzos go a long way on psychedelics.
 
A low amount of alprazolam, perhaps .25 mg with no tolerance, would allow for a very subtle psychedelia with some DMT added. It would likely be more interesting than just taking some xanax by itself, but not as fun as DMT on its own.

For comparison (although it should be noted the effects are not going to be quite the same, despite the GABA activity) I once smoked a 50mg dose of DMT while on 3.5 grams of GHB (Xyrem). Rather than a nice, relaxing trip I experienced severe disorientation and thought loops accompanied by a constant nausea. Sometimes it's best to just take the tryptamine by itself.
 
Many people experience memory loss with a single dose of any tranquilizer, benzo and non-benzo. Both are incredibly dangerous and should be avoided.

there's a generalization if I've ever seen one.

benzos are pretty safe when not combined with other GABAergic depressants... they are not really any more dangerous than pot brownies.
