Xanax 0.5

[Tea]

Trying to use xanax recreationally.

Wasn't sure where else to post. Around 4 PM I took 0.5mg of Xanax. Thought that'd be good, and then about a half hour later, felt nothing. So I popped another one 45 minutes later. Again, nothing. Took another. So far at 1.5mg. Took another. 2mg total. All taken between a half hour and an hour after each other.

When I was at the 1.5mg I must of fell asleep for a good 10 minutes, but woke myself up because I was snoring, ahaha.
But still not really feeling anything significant. Would it be wise to take another 0.5mg? It's almost 9:30 where I'm at. Again, this all started around 4PM.

Also, does eating/having food in your stomach affect this at all? I'm kind of just annoyed and I feel like I've wasted it.

I wouldn't bother taking more at this point, most likely it would justcause amnesia and lead to taking more pills. It's easy to think you are not as intoxicated as you really are with benzos, especially if your new to them.

In my opinion benzos just aren't very recreational. They certainly have useful qualities that make them desirable though, but I find them lackluster as a main event so to speak.

Good luck.

is this your first time experimenting with xanax? i remember when i first started and i was like, i kept taking more and more and i eventually got to around 4-5mgs and all i could remember was passing out...so i figured that was way to much for me and now 1mg has me buzzin really nicely especially with some weed and lyrica, yumm...for me benzos are pretty shitty without weed...but i am a daily weed smoker so idk lol

should i just give it another go tomorrow? or just give up on xanax completely?

recreationally, yes. i had only taken it once before because of a severe anxiety attack..and a family member gave me one. that was about the only experience i had with it. i'd love to smoke with it, haha

Benzo may not be your cup of tea. For most people it is not. Furthermore, benzo is not meant for the main course. Try smoking some weed or doing some opiates or alcohol.

The Pharmacy Tech in my says do not mix these. Be careful mixing these drugs. 2 Beers will feel like 4 and so on. 10mg of oxycodone will feel like 20mg. Be careful! You have been warned!

i hate benzos myself...it is a unique feeling...not so much a high as super relaxation

i look super in to things before i really do anything anyway. i'll be okay, that's for sure.

i'm thinking that's all it definitely is good for. i imagine that super quick pass out i had way earlier was indeed the xanax. i'll probably sleep wonderfully tonight, too. although it is half 3am atm...i think i should of been asleep by now considering how much i took.

yes , i wish i never would of started fucking around with that shit, they are good if you're freaking out, having panic attacks, when you're crashing off some other shit,

but for recreation no, dont know your personality but if you have an addictive one, once you start taking them these things are a motherfucker to stop ,

a friend was taking a half milligram for 2 months and he said the withdrawals were horrible, thats a real minor dose,

i was taking a much higher dose, and tapering down to stop, the panic attacks i had before i started benzos aint shit to the ones im having now,

but everyones brains wired different,

 

[laCster]

yah xanax are particularly addictive for me atleast because they drop me off after 3-4 hours and all i can think about is redosing...

 

[kokaino]

That's Xanax for you. That's how alprazolam has always been when I used it, even before I got it scripted - it was a shitty benzo. Great anxiolytic, don't get me wrong - but not much recreationally. I think it's an overrated benzo that doesn't do much besides relieve anxiety. It's a great anxiolytic, but a shitty muscle relaxant, shitty anticonvulsant, and a shitty sedative.

 

[K'd-OUT-in-AZ]

From my experience continuing to redose isn't nearly as effective as taking the entire dose at once. You may have felt 2mg if you had taken it all at once. But then again maybe you wouldn't because as kokaino said, Xanax is a shitty benzodiazepine. I was prescribed it for many years and can't remember why in the world I had switched to it from the Klonopin. I used to be prescribed 8mg daily (2mg x4) but last time I used Xanax I had NO tolerance to benzodiazepines and took 2mg. I felt little to nothing except a little off balanced and light. I don't even find it that great of an anxiolytic. Its pretty much only good for panic attacks in my book.

 

[kokaino]

No it's a good anxiolytic, but that's all it's good for. Not much of a muscle relaxant, or a sedative, or an anticonvulsant.

I think there are better panic attack benzos - the hypnotics. Most of them tend to kick in quicker and hit harder than any of the other benzos. Triazolam and temazepam would be ideal for panic attack (well out of the all the benzos commercially available in the U.S.).

Parachute the contents of a temazepam capsule and watch how fast it hits (literally 5 mins and I begin to feel the effects and then they grow stronger and stronger in waves). I've tried that numerous times with alprazolam - I crush the tablets into a fine powder and parachuted it and nothing happens until like 20-30 minutes later. If I take the alprazolam whole, it takes about 30-40 minutes to kick in.

 

[K'd-OUT-in-AZ]

It takes alprazolam 40 minutes to kick in for you? It kicks in within 20-30 minutes for me. I'm not sure about parachuting it because I usually just took it orally. Although I'm positive that I have (parachuted) but that was years ago and I've suffered brain damage from drugs so can't really remember how long it took. As with the Temazepam I used to pour the contents of the capsule into a glass of water and it would kick in quickly. Only problem is that powder would get stuck at the bottom of the glass sometimes if I didn't chug it quick enough.

^Temazepam is usually a lot more powder per dosage unit than alprazolam is, so that method would probably work even better with alprazolam/Xanax.
