Hi there. I guess I’m asking mostly for the Australian region but interested in general.

My question is, does anyone know what is being used commonly instead of alprazolam in bars? From my experience all bars on the street have been fake for the last year or 2 at least but when I first started getting them they had that horrible alraz taste or they at least felt very similar to a 2mg bar. Nowdays whenever I get them they never taste bitter, are weak or don’t do anything at all and usually take ages to kick in and then last for a while. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks

Have you strip tested it for Benzos?

A good start would be to see if it’s even a benzo. Does it seem like a benzo or an opioid to you effects wise?
 
I don't know about you guys down under, but here in the States, fake Xanax usually contains bromazolam. I think it was recently banned, so phenazolam or some other RC benzo will probably replace it. Who knows? I know that they add bittering agents to their bars to make them seem like authentic alprazolam. Also, from my experience, bromazolam feels basically the same as alprazolam. Beats me, though. God only knows if Australian dealers are importing them or pressing them themselves over there. It’s probably just a bad batch from someone who hasn’t perfected replicating Xanax.

Nah haven’t tested but might pick up a test kit soon. Not opioid not that I’d be able to tell atm because I’m on bupe which would block the effects. But I only got on bupe recently so before that I’ve still had the same problem. I think I’m just gonna source a different benzo that is less likely to be faked

Does bromazolam seem to take ages to kick in and last longer than alprazolam to you?
 
throwaway4benzos said:
Nah, it usually takes ~30 minutes to fully hit me. I can't tell the difference between it and alprazolam besides how long it lasts.

Yea righto, have them another go last night. Took 3x “2mg” pills and had a beer and maybe felt a little benzo kinda feel after about 1.5 hours so mustn’t be bromazolam or just fuck all in them.
 
Can anyone please recommend another benzo that I can source instead of these shit fake xans going around. Another benzo is far less likely to be faked. I’d be after something that kicks in fairly quickly and has sedative and muscle relaxation properties as well as anti anxiety properties. Something other than diazepam because I seem to need high doses and it’s too expensive where I am. Thanks

Ativan ;)
 
The fake street 2mg Xanax bars around here are usually bromazolam but they could be anything really. I have heard of them being opiates instead of benzos too. It's a crap shoot really.

How long did it last? Might be phenazolam, aka "clobromazolam".

Bromazolam is by far the most prevalent here in the US, but I've also encountered flualprazolam, phenazolam, alprazolam, etizolam, and nitrazepam in the last couple of years.

You could try lorazepam but I don’t find it sedating. I have not tried high doses though. It sounds like you need to lower your benzo tolerance by taking a break.

Well for the first time last night I took 2 of the “xans” and actually felt some pretty solid benzo effects happening. Although I’d also had 1200mg of pregabalin about 5 hours before I took them. Probably took them at about 9:30pm and I was doing coke so time was going quick but I think they definitely kicked in quicker and felt pretty sedated, no anxious coke comedown. I got super sedated at some point and tried snorting some uppers to stay awake but fell asleep anyway. I enjoyed it for a bit before I fell asleep at some point in the living room chair. Woke up at 5am thinking fuck sake now my neck is going to be sore and took myself to bed.
Still felt drowsiness when I woke up so lasted over 12 hours possibly

Yeah higher doses definitely a bit sedating. In fact I usually have to take a bit more to feel that benzo buzz. Ativan(Loazepam) would be best bet for a faster acting benzo with sedating properties it just probably won't make you black out(at least not as easily) like a few too many bars of Xanax would.

In fact I don't understand why anyone without a script would buy from a random joe, if I'm buying a script..I know the person, I know it's a legitimate script(watching them physically grab from pharmacy/giving ppl rides)..this way you're for sure getting Xanax or whatever it may be.

I don’t often take benzos. Probably have been slightly more the last couple weeks but otherwise go months without them

Just fake/weak pills then. They’re incredibly common here in Europe. Many don’t seem to have any active cut at all and then some seem to have a very small amount of something GABAergic, but not enough for any proper effect, even if you a handful.
 
Does anyone have any idea what's in the Mylan 2mg round pills?
Coz they are very strong, sometimes they are different. At first I was told they were Etizolam which I love but I think they have changed maybe to some Clonazolam flunizesomethinh, bromasomethingpan or whatever. I know the last pill I ate which as yesterday was the slightest bit bitter. I don't feel wasted but I keep falling asleep.

I've heard bars have often bromazolam too which I don't know a lot about. I had 2 bars the other day and was really pissed off until I had some H and I was really wasted from it. Definitely an effect of benzos being present.
So I'm curious if anyone can shed light on this?
 
I used to get pressed bars fairly regularly from my guy. Supply seems to have really dried up recently. However, the ones he usually gets can take ages to kick in, I like to think of them as ticking time bombs. Potency is fairly consistent. However, I definitely think they are under dosed and not equivalent to 2mg of alprazolam. Duration seems to be about 8ish hours from time that effects are noticed. Every once in a while he will get a batch that's bitter and the pills will start disintegrate with even the moisture of your tongue. Those ones are definitely dosed properly and seem to kick in within 30-45 min. I would like to know if anyone has theories on what benzo the timebombs may be I'd like to know. He hasn't had any in ages so I can't even test some.
