I have some .5mg Alprazolams right now. Last time I tried Alprazolam I took stupidly took a 2mg bar and don't remember a single thing from that night, except that when I woke up I was missing my other 2mg bar meaning I popped 4mg my first time taking xanax. I don't remember anything from that day except feeling very drunk for the first 10mins of it kicking in.. The rest is a blur.

I'm wondering what it would feel like to take just one .5mg alprazolam? What effects would I feel from that? I'm looking to just feel relaxed/mellow/euphoric. I don't like that feeling of stumbling around when I walk and such. Or should I expect to get that drunkish feeling again?
 
I wouldn't say that xanax or any benzodiazepine is euphoric really. It's more feeling cool, calm, relaxed, maybe a bit sleepy...

I'm not sure what you might feel from .5 mg. I would think that 1 mg is more a recreational dose than .5 mg, but I'd imagine that .5 mg would make you feel comfortable, more relaxed, a bit less anxious or uptight... all the things you'd associate with a benzo like xanax.
 
Would 1mg make me tipsy? That's what I really disliked last time I tried these, I don't like that feeling of being drunk. Should 1mg be just relaxing? If I even try one or two of these tonight, I'm gonna smoke some herb with it.
 
0.5mg is good for chilling out a little without severe impairment IMO...

It's prescribed to kick anxiety. It will take the edge off things and make you more inclined to do things normally out of your comfort zone.

To be honest for someone with no tolerance .25-.5 is all you need for this effect.
1mg+ it starts acting as a strong depressant. Not to mention its signature memory loss effects.



EDIT: I've never understood the will some people have to get "barred out". It's just about the silliest things you can do. I usually fall straight asleep after about 2mg.

Not me. Getting "barred out" is the best thing I have ever done. 2 mg is the best dose ever. I have severe anxiety attacks and 1 mg is a waste to me in the middle of one. I normally have them at night before I go to sleep occasionally. I think the op should start at 1 mg for kicks and 2 mg for very subtle, calm impairment. To be honest, Benzodiazepines are not heavily impairing physically. Mentally they are brain washers. They will prevent memories from even being processed, leaving you in a very confused position when you wake up in your bed or anywhere else confused. "How the fuck did I get here?" is the most common question you will have. "What the fuck happened __________." (Fill in any day of the week.) is another one. This is stuff you must get used to if you do choose to abuse benzodiazepines. There is no way around it beside not taking it at all.
 
Yeah you'll probably feel effects with 0.5mg. Won't be a big ol' party. With no tolerance you may feel kinda tired too.
 
I think you can get away with taking .5 and feeling nice.... I have a giant opiate tolerance, I can take 90 or so mgs of roxi and not even feel it at all, but if I take one of my .5 Xanax, I feel nice and mellow. If I take 1 mg,it makes me sleep. I always forget about my Xanax, so when I take one, it is always such a pleasant surprise.
 
Xanax is a pretty overrated benzo IMO, but we're not here to really tell you how to get really "fucked up" or "barred out" or whathaveyou. Either way, as others have mentioned, 0.5mg is a pretty standard low dose for anxiety relief and, Xanax's intended purpose, to stop a panic attack in it's tracks.

I don't really find benzos that recreational at all, but for people with anxiety issues, they can be "euphoric". The only benzo that's given me anything close to euphoria is temazepam.
 
Ok benzos give me a great feeling, but i can take a large dose and i dont black out anymore. So when i take a small dose of them i get tipsy, warm, fuzzy. When i take a large dose i do something comparable to nodding out but i basically get extremely tierd, i sit basically with my eyes half open daydreaming and drooling, i get really drunk feeling but with no vomiting, i get warm, fuzzy, slightly euphoric and happy.
Oh and its a really good tierd i guess i can go for like 3 hours without going to sleep but i take a 5 hour energy with it
 
i need at least 1mg to feel ANYTHING...but like if you're coming down or have actual anxiety that is when you'll feel it most.
 
1mg of xanax will totally impair your ability in a lot of ways for the average person who wiill take it out of random or once in awhile...0.5mg is completely a good proper dose for someone to relieve anxiety/bring down panic without feeling too disoriented...1mg will take you to the point of disorientation to a degree, confusion, sedation...for the average person..
