at my peak benzo abuse i could easily go through 500 mg in a month and barely remember weeks, but that was ages ago. basically i've slowly been taking some .25's, .50's, and 1 mgs of xanax to build up tolerance against the sedating effect. last night i must have taken maybe 8-10 mg just in hopes that I would wake up with that morning after glow you sometimes get with benzos but to no affect. i was just tired and i've mostly just felt tired when i've been taking these small doses. hardly any of that feeling free to say what comes to your mind effect i remember (not that that is my aim. benzos just tend to make working at a supermarket go by way quicker). so what i am wondering is if I should just start taking more for the initial dose bc frankly that's what I used to do instead of just .5 or .25 every hour like i've been doing lately. thing is i'm scared if i just take 4 mg at once that i'll just be an unresponsive slob since all these little doses have just made me tired
