for the past 4 and 1/2 weeks i have not drank any alcohol or done any drugs except maybe smoke a little weed here and there.

before that i was smoking multiple times throughout the day everyday, and drinking heavily maybe 4 times a week. of the 4 days i would drink maybe 2 of those days i would take 2mg of xanax

whenever i would take xanax i would always immediately feel a relief of anxiety (in social situations) and be a ton happier and not sleepy until i was in a bed ofcourse. when i would wake up i would remember bits and pieces of the night before

yesterday i took 2mg of xanax and smoked a blunt (of great weed) and drank a little too (for the first time in 4 and 1/2 weeks) and i was STILL feeling anxious and not nearly as 'good' as i normally have felt. the feeling of being in a completely different zone wasn't there at all. my eyes kept closing and i felt out of place in the crowd i was in. when i woke up this morning i remembered everything from the night before and all i wanted to do was sleep all day.

the reason why i even liked taking xanax when i go to parties is because i feel calmer and relaxed and happier and obviously gets me fucked up in a good way. lately ive been feeling anxious even when im on the 2mg so i guess what my concern is if i have built a tolerance to it? will i ever get that feeling back? i haven't done a single drug in over a month so i thought my tolerance would go down, no? please help!
 
^ Yea pot causes anxiety, but you shouldnt of had any anxiety because of the xanax
You shouldnt have any tolerance after taking a 4 week break. You could of blacked out because you drank, so feel lucky you didnt black out.
I think you should take 3mg of xanax and see if you black out, and for the sleep problem, drink a monster and take a 5 hour energy after the monster wears off. Or just sleep
 
is it weird that in the past (im talking like 4 weeks ago) i used to smoke pot multiple times a day everyday and never got anxiety, and lately when i have, i have gotten anxiety? isnt the xanax supposed to cancel out the anxiety?

also, today, after the taking 2mg last night, i'm feeling really depressed and down today, is that normal??

xanax usually helps. but it's not 100%. i can certainly still be anxious under the influence of benzos.

and sometimes breaks and/or lifestyle changes can change how you react to pot. people complaining about how it suddenly gives them anxiety is a pretty common thread in Cannabis Discussion.
 
so you're saying its the combo of alcohol and a lot of pot with the xanax thats giving me the carefree happy feeling, not just the xanax?
 
no, that's not what i was saying. it's probably true though.

i was saying the pot might be what's making you feel uncomfortable in social situations.
 
when i was a teenager, i absouletly LOVED POT, i was happier, more creative and it made me "forget my problems", this was when i was 14 and 15yrs old. I am now 25 years old, and ever since i turned 16 smoking marijuana makes me very shy, insecure, anxiety, paranoid, intensifies whats good and whats bad in my life, the only time i can enjoy pot is if im by myself at night time, or with family or my girlfriend, someone i trust, all that smoking with a crowd of people will cause me to have a major panic attack, i dont know what it is why all of a sudden marijuana reversed on me..i do like it here and there with my girlfriend at nite for sex, or if i mix it with amphetamines....

Xanax sometimes gives me that "drunk outgoing" effect, yeah it will calm me down but makes me anxious in other ways and outgoing to do shit (go out get crack, etc) sometimes it just sedates me and im fine.IDK
 
jailbirds i couldnt agree with you more, after friday night the first time i did 2mg in over a month the next day i slept insane amount of hours barely ate and felt extremely extremely depressed. i had a major change in lifestyle coming home from college where i was smoking about an 8th of pot every 2 days and now at home barely smoking. on saturday i NEEDED to smoke and i eventually got an appetite. on sunday i was still feeling down and i took 1mg of xanax and smoked plenty throughout the day and felt extremely good. although the day felt REALLY long and went by slow. i was looking forward to a dinner with my extended family and when the time came i wanted to sleep instead and wasn't all that social. after they left i was invited to smoke at a friends and was extremely happy. i fell asleep and woke up this morning feeling depressed again and on edge. i haven't taken anything or smoked as of today but i feel i would do almost anything to be able to smoke, i want to take more xanax but i feel like 1mg is not really making me happy anymore.

am i feeling depressed because i miss smoking so much? by itself it makes me happier than anything, or is it the withdrawal from xanax?
 
i used to smoke budder everyday and noticed i didn't have anxiety back then, but after a 70 day break whenever i smoke i NEED to take xanax because i get bad anxiety/paranoia.
 
In my personal experience with benzos, I built up a tolerance to xanax the fastest. Also, in my experience, a drug is never as strong as the first time or first few times you do it and that subsequent honeymoon period. Take that as you will.
 
you know how anorexics eat 200 calories on monday, 400 on tuesday, etc. in order to "fool" the body's metabolism. I try to do that with benzos. My tolerance level is at about 4mg now with the xanax, 30 mg valium, etc. and do not try to quit cold turkey. i was once up for 5 days, so anxious, hearing voices and stuff. i am the queen of benzos and you can really really get addicted badly. i have. i started doing heroin for my anxiety. that's how bad mine has gotten.
(TMI?, sorry)
 
sheesh im sorry to hear that..i guess i find it hard to believe that even after 4 1/2 weeks there can still be a tolerance, and i guess i didnt realize how much alcohol can affect someone.

can anyone describe what would happen if i took a hydrocodone and smoked a ton on it? my first time and only 1 pill. would i get high off it? is this the same as a roxy?
 
depends on the pot. if it's mellow pot than maybe you'll be cool. i can't smoke pot at all anymore, it makes me nervous and anxious and worse. 1 pill? Maybe. I'd say no, but that's just me and my opinion. Do one or the other.

i think you should find a baggie, place your drugs in the baggie and hide it. do some research before you potentially risk your life.
 
i don't think i need to hide my drugs, clearly i wouldnt risk my life if im asking before taking or doing any drugs (duh?)

im simply asking for any prior experiences of what it is like to take 1 hydro if you're smoking a couple blunts on it before ever doing it.

thanks for your helpful info though haha
