Xanax Questions

[jdjack27]

I haven't used this site in ages, so please forgive me if this isn't the proper forum. I wasn't sure where to put this. Anyway -

I'm trying a 2mg Xanax tonight (recreational , I am not prescribed it) for the very first time. Will that alone be enough to get me messed up? If not -

How would these combos be?

- 2mg and a moderate DXM dose (I am very experienced with DXM)

- 2mg and a beer or 2 (no more than that)

- 2mg and a little bit of DPH

2mg will be more than enough, in fact you may want to try just 1.5mg. That's still a high dose but your asking to get fucked up, not just for anxiety. If your going to drink 2, and no more than 2, beers than take just 1mg MAX. As for DXM, I'm not quite sure to be honest but it won't increase the effects of the alprazolam. DPH increases the effects of opiates, not really benzodiazepines.

Yes, the 2 mg Xanax bar would be enough to give you a buzz, especially if your benzo tolerance isn't too high. Don't expect anything special - all you will get is overall relaxation, disinhibition, stress and anxiety relief, and drowsiness. There's no euphoria associated with alprazolam (Xanax).

It lacks in a lot of the classical benzo effects - it has poor muscle relaxant effects, poor to mediocre sedative-hypnotic effects, and poor anticonvulsant effects. However, it is a top notch anxiolytic.

It's short-acting and in my opinion, is not good for anything but anxiety relief. I've been on them (scripted) for more than 4 years now, so I have plenty of experience with alprazolam.

2mg is more than enough for most people to experience alprazolam intoxication. Just don't expect too much, it isn't really recreational IMO. Also, you will probably want to re-dose, but I strongly recommend you stick to the initial 2mg (benzos have a tendency to cause this, it's like they trick you into thinking you are not as intoxicated as you really are and taking another pill will do the trick. It won't though, butt will lead to bizarre behavior and amnesia).

How would these combos be?

I've actually tried all three of those, so perhaps I can shed a little light on things for you.

- 2mg and a moderate DXM dose (I am very experienced with DXM)

I would leave this combo alone until you are familiar with both drugs individually. Alprazolam will lessen the "trippy" effects of the DXM, and make it even harder to remember the experience. I think this combo is only really worth it with the lowest end of the DXM dose scale actually, just to enhance the drunken-like intoxication as opposed to higher, psychedelic doses. 2mg is overkill for this IMO, I only needed 1mg+200mg DXM.

- 2mg and a beer or 2 (no more than that)

Alcohol and benzos are very synergistic. 2mg plus a couple drinks will get you very intoxicated, but you probably won't remember very much. I think the biggest issue here is you might not actually stop at 2 drinks. Benzos+alcohol absolutely destroys decision making abilities and better judgment. If you insist on doing this combo, I recommended no more that 0.5mg alprazolam. Even this amount will make the booze feel much stronger IME.

- 2mg and a little bit of DPH

Good for sleeping and little else. If you are not tolerant to both drugs, you will feel quite sluggish in the morning though.

good luck!

Some will disagree, some people do experience euphoria from Xanax but I'd assume very few. I know 1 person who feels really good on them and says that it really gets him through the day. I've heard some people on this site who say they have experienced euphoria.

But these people may have a different perspective of what "euphoria" feels like. I only experience euphoria from amphetamine type medications and opioids. No benzos EXCEPT for temazepam. Feels almost like an opioid.

But back to Xanax, I agree, don't expect much or you'll be disappointed. Kokaino basically described everything you should expect.

If you want to just use Xanax recreationally, 2 mg is plenty sufficient for someone with no tolerance. In the beginning with no tolerance, benzos seemed quite special to me, but now that I take them everyday they just calm me down some. Expect to be disinhibted, be relaxed, be sleepy, experience some amnesia (blackout). Your motor skills will likely be impaired as well as your judgement. Don't mix it with anything without any experience or tolerance, 2 mg should be plenty, but don't expect blissful euphoria, just a good thick relaxation.

I think people who say they experience euphoria with alprazolam, don't really know what euphoria means. Euphoria is a complex feeling and most benzos aren't euphoriants. According to the FDA's trials on benzodiazepines that are commercially available in the U.S. - only those on temazepam reported euphoria. Surprise surprise.

I also get minor euphoric effects from nitrazepam, which is my second favorite benzo after temazepam.

All this hoopla over Xanax in the U.S. is mind-boggling, if you ask me. It has no endearing qualities. All it is is a very good anxiolytic and nothing else.

Benzos still are special to me now that I don't take them daily. Or basically at all. This is because I have severe anxiety so any relief is good enough for me. But still I wouldn't describe what I feel as euphoria. Xanax is decent fr anxiety, I agree with that, but its too short acting.

 

[Alex000]

Lately Xanax hasn't even been sedating me sufficiently. It calms me some, but I swear my anti-depressants help more than the Xanax does at this point. I wish I were back on Klonopin, much better for daily use in my case. But, the first time I took Xanax in public there was some "pseudo-euphoria" because of the relief of social anxiety.

I agree that Klonopin is better for daily use. I also find it more sedating then Xanax.

I loved Klonopin, and wish I could go back on it with Xanax as needed, but because of a brief near-psychotic episode while taking it I was put on Xanax. Oh, well, Xanax will do, but doesn't seem to rid of my anxiety, but benzos can only do this to a point.

I wish I could have any benzo. After quitting from an 11 year span of use my doctor won't put me back on them because "I worked so hard to get off them" 8) Last time I quit I relapsed after 6 months, its been nearly 6 months now and I'm craving them like hell. Each appointment I ask again hoping that I can convince him but he tries something new, all kinds of different anti-depressants. When nothing works, and nothing probably will, I'll keep asking until he gives in. If something else works I'll be glad to stay on it but nothing seems to do. When on benzodiazepines for years withdrawals, or PAWS, can last up to 1 1/2 years. They don't seem to ever go away.

Didn't you find Lyrica to be very helpful? Are you scripted it? If not, I would suggest getting one or a steady supply otherwise if that is what helps. The thought of benzo withdrawal makes me afraid I am digging my hole a little deeper every day, but as of now I need something to get by.
