The feeling on high doses of benzos

[Apollo16]

I have taken up to 22mg of Clonazepam while still awake and not blacked out. With Xanax I have gone up to 12mg, although my tolerance to both both drugs is now almost zero, after several months of not touching them. The state I enter under a good dose of benzos, seems to be almost a dream world, where I am just a casual observer. Small periods of amnesia happen while in this state, and retrospectively it seems like a slideshow of hazy dreamy memories, that literally feel like they occured in a dream. Absolutely no anxiety is present in this state, and a strong feeling of derealisation is present. I find that a tolerance is needed to acheive this state, or else I just blackout before it is reached. Does anyone else find thst benzos produce a similar state? To me, this is the "high" of benzos, that pushes the experience beyond just plain relaxation.

I have no idea what that's like. I've found that even if I develop tolerance to other effects, high doses are still very amnesic. Reasonably high doses of benzos feel a little sedative, and very social (possibly obnoxious - much like being drunk). Higher doses invariably produce blackouts.

The socialness is present at slightly lower doses for me, however it feels different to the increased socialness that alcohol provides. Far more reckless and obnoxious. Higher dosages then that, and I tens to enter the aforementioned dream state. I find no increased socialness in this state, and I am sure that I appear zombie like to the outside world. I guess that derealization is an incorrect way of descibing it, more of a state where I act with absoluitely no emotion, no fear, no happiness, I just exist. I would compare it to high doses of alcohol, just before the blackout stage. I basically exist completely in the moment, without thinking about the past or future. A decent tolerance is needed to hit such high doses, or else I just blackout long beforehand.

I know what You mean though I've only reached this state on 6mg Ativan. it's the most trippy benzo I've taken where everything is funny and i'm wobbly, my vision is doubled and everything is hazy. Memory is sort of intact and there's a floaty feeling present. Totally complacent and such. It's nice but I don't enjoy high doses of benzos and idk where to get ativan here. Xanax, Valium and Lexotan is all that's available really.

Though I don't see much point in this thread for the sake of HR. Glorifying this subjective experience on dangerous drugs is anti-HR and gives the impressionable sketchy ideas.

it sounds more akin to delerium than any sort of high, but to each his own i guess.
i'd just rather keep my tolerance down and enjoy lower, safer doses

 

[XANAX XR]

the withdrawals feel like that, except with terrible anxiety.

when I am high on benzos it's like a dream world (as in, something I could only imagine feeling like in my dreams) with euphoria SKY-HIGH, warm body buzz, muscle tingling so much especially throat, tongue, cheeks. I also am extremely focused and all my intrusive thoughts go away. oh..anxiety-free, too!
