Anyone taken Alprazolam before and it worked then stopped taking it and went back to taking it then it no longer worked?
If yes, what could be the problem?
 
That happens to me, im a devil for xanax, i took 4mg an hour ago and nothing, i took a days break from it so i would get a nice chilled feeling but nothing, tolerance i think, im going on a ce break starting from tomorrow, yeah the withdrawals suck big time, maybenif you can go on a tolerance break xxx
 
Yeah I'm in the same boat. I get ninety .5 mgs a month but that's not enough. I've resorted to adding Etizolam in the mix taking up to five to six mgs of that next to my xanax script. I feel myself digging an even deeper hole looking into real RC benzos like flubromazepam, diclazepam, and flubrazolam. I don't think you want to go down this same path. It's a never ending spiral leading straight into the depths of hell.
 
^Yeah i've been down that path and not going back.
Took 14mg Alprazolam other day and absolutely nothing but I had been on Clonazepam previously in high doses up to 18mg which did nothing.
Never liked Clonazepam.
 
Yeah, it's called Tolerance dude. Try a higher dose, (within limits), & see if then it wrks for you.

But as the above poster said, take it easy with Benzo useage.

Na it's not tolerance because I felt more anxiety when on it than on Clonazepam and Clonazepam did nothing for me.
 
You should give etizolam a try. I've been using it now for 3 months+ every day and have not had to increase my dosage. There are also days I don't dose at all with no negative effects.

I also use stimulants and find myself helped greatly by the use of etizolam - this is still a side gig though, I think I'd still be looking for some anxiety relief despite the stimulant use. I was prescribed klonopin for many years at 3mgs a day, and when I quit suboxone I also quit the benzo's. I have not returned to daily use, although I've got close to taking 1mg of klonopin a day at points, then once I found the etizolam I was capable of switching completely over to it. I'm talking a good few years between benzo use, I have no will to return to being heavily medicated without any help towards anxiety relief. I felt left alone once I realized my doctor would just keep prescribing them, even after I asked him for a different benzo, I was just given a higher dose.

Anyway, as I had said - I noticed that I have no had to increase my dose and the effects have remained the same. I've also tried flubromazolam, it helps as well but not nearly as much as etizolam. I find flubromazolam is better to 'knock you out' if you need it. It's a heavy drug, and will just make you pass out. I'd much prefer a few soma's for such a thing then taking the flubromazolam.

I hope this helps & good luck.

P.S. - depending on what state your in, I believe it's mainly still legal (etizolam) so you should have no problem getting access to it. Be ware of those companies over selling their product and cutting it though, I know the etizolam I get is pure, and people have told me they've taken 2-3x as much without the same results from other labs/vendors. Purity of this compound is a must with researching.

Unfortunately I have tried both of those with no luck.
The only RC Benzo that helped was Pyrazolam.
 
I know Clonazepam has a longer half life so you'll build more of a tolerance.. I prefer Alprazolam. 1mg-2mg is fine for me, though I only have agoraphobia and GAD. Not good for panic attacks though..
 
Ativan and Diazepam together work wonders for me - for some reason they just feel 'right' together. I think the half life of diazepam coupled with the quickness of the ativan really get to my anxiety quickly. I'm not recommending taking high dosages of 2 compounds together, but rather lower the dose of both and find that 'sweet spot'.

I would think 1mg of ativan and 10mgs of diazepam are what would set me right. I can see this becoming troublesome in the future though and a tolerance building from such use - but if it works, it works, ya know?
 
I've tried Ativan in 2.5mg doses and Diazepam I need a large amount for any effect.

Maybe I just need who knows how long off benzos but that's not an option unfortunately.
 
Hey just wanted to let you know I 'received' two PM's back from you, but both were just copies of what I sent you - no clue as to why.

If you want, try again, if not contact me through email.

Sent PM back of what i wrote. If you don't recieve anything let me know.
 
I'd like to input that I've been on Clonazepam for two months now and it's like I'm eating candy. They felt as if they were working at first but I feel my anxiety worsening daily. I'm on 1mg three times a day, should I get jumped up or get switched to an entirely new drug? Preferably Ativan or Alprazolam.

ehh are you taking clonazapam to get high or to relieve anxiety?ive been taking clon for 1-2 years now and it still relieves anxiety very well even at 1 mg..ive never had to raise my dosage but i am not looking for any high from it..
