Benzos Can you feel euphoria with benzos if you don't have anxiety?

Yeah I would imagine there are so many factors on past drug usage, etc. My 1st xanax use was around 9 months completely clean from dope and methadone. Aside weed, wasn't drinking. Took 2mg and was dancing in the clouds. Obviously my brain was fucked. So 2mg of xanax was like a miracle for it.
 
It's also important to note that many detox centers refuse to accept patients in the midst of benzo withdrawals. The withdrawal is FAR too long in most cases and too severe for them to even begin to map out a treatment plan. It's just something you want to really think about depending on for everyday use without a script. Even with one..

Benzo is clearly the most difficult withdrawal to deal with and treat, but do you have any actual references where benzo addicts were turned away? Makes me really sad for some reason :(

I am confident that a severe benzo dependence is magnitudes more difficult than quitting heroin. I've gone through both several times. Benzo was worse by far.... every time.

Opioid withdrawals makes you sick, maybe you feel like death for a few days.
Benzo withdrawals make you fucking insane, hallucinate and at the same time give you constant panic attacks AND lasts months instead of weeks.

I'd rather do 3 heroin withdrawals vs 1 benzo withdrawal any day
 
Yeah i find benzos way more euphoric than alcohol. Or at least some benzos.

That said, for me, benzos are only euphoric in higher doses.

But they are nothing like opioids. I have a stash containing a pretty large variety of benzos, but i rarely feel compelled to use them on their own. Part of it is that the price tag for using them is so high; if i take a huge dose or take them for a few days I'll feel bad for a while. I used to be a hardcore benzo addict so when i use them now my brain is slow to recover. Most i can use with zero consequence is the equivalent of 3mg of etizolam once every 3 weeks at most. Yet for me a euphoric dose of etizolam is 4-5mg and above with no tolerance.

Where benzos shine the most is with stimulants. Especially stimulants that absolutely require benzos, like a n-ethylhexedrone binge or other cathinones with wrist-slittingly horrible comedowns.

With benzos alone i know im in the good zone when all of sudden im talking nonstop and manic. Only happens on the good benzos, like alprazolam, etizolam perhaps bromazolam and the others that don't knock you out. Its that loquaciousness thats a clear indicator that im in that nice disinhibited benzo zone.

Problem is i tend to say terrible things, or start fights or am too truthful. No wonder why benzos are used in enhanced interrogation techniques by the military and intelligence services. They really get you talking.

My mother worked at a detox center for a while before she retired. Ironic because she was illegally high a remainder of the time. They certainly did attempt to treat benzo abusers but it was just incredibly hard to treat something that lasted that long, and their funds didn't always provide the best care they wanted to give them. There are higher up rehab facilities out there though who went into drug treatment with good intentions and maintained it despite how difficult some addictions can be to recover from. As you can imagine... addicts flat dab in withdrawals are about the meanest and most unpleasant folks out there. They would always make a fuss about literally everything. Like jesus is complaining about the toothbrush you're given really the highest of your priorities in life right now?

Edit: I sort of dodged your initial question. But I'll look into it going to sleep now.
 
I did...once or twice (with the same substance)

previously I have done Xanax bars and generic Valium 10mg which were great, but no euphoria...


BUT.....I did experience euphoria off 4mg of Deschloroetizolam. Dead sober, no other substances coursing through my blood stream, it was roughly 10am in Morning on a summer Saturday and I took a 4mg dose of near pharma grade Deschloroetizolam (thienotriazolodiazepine) a benzo analog (Etizolam analog) and in approximately 30min a wonderful happy mood lift started to creep in, almost like Ketamine euphoria, a little pep in my step, skipping to the corner store to get a pack of Belmont’s. It was a genuine drug induced euphoria that lasted hours (8-10 hours full duration of drug effect) maybe 3 hours of very noticeable euphoria. Was very impressed actually.

Depending on the molecule, and your personal CNS makeup, euphoric effects from benzodiazepines & analogs is very possible, and will happen. Not always, but can and will happen.

Never experienced euphoria from Alprazolam (Xanax) which I thought I would, considering the fact it’s the most highly desirable benzodiazepine on the market and studies have shown an increase of dopamine after administration of Alprazolam (according to wiki page?) must be a legit study to back that up?

Phenazepam rid me of inhibitions, which was euphoric to me. Luckily nothing bad happened to me but I forgot a few days while on it. I have panic disorder but if I take some alprazolam/clonazepam/diazepam/lorazepam (any of those) just for the sake of it and not when having an attack, I'll get high. Though diazepam and lorazepam feel more clinical to me. I only got high on lorazepam once when I was given more than I was used to and then went right to sleep; which is what it's used for

I could take alprazolam and diazepam all day without issue versus clonazepam which would turn me into a drunken fool after a couple hours

Same here. They just make me sleepy/numb/sometimes angry. But I bet if someone is having a severe panic attack and finds a quick fix for it they'll release some endorphins when they don't feel like their life is at risk anymore.

if it makes u feel sleepy then it's more of a tolerance issue, while angry and shit it's because you shouldn't do them anymore. Similar to a drunk dad. Drugs aren't for everyone and some even OD because of that. Stay strong

You are a lost cause in the system if you are hooked on benzos. Its scary. A doctor may come here or there, but for life you are on your own to always have benzos.

Nobody could afford the true treatment needed for a benzo dependence. Years...

Yes, I also feel that clonazepam gives you a more intoxicating effect like alcohol.
Lorazepam is the benzo that has helped me the most for social anxiety. Although apparently, many people don't find it as much recreational value as alprazolam.

Yes.. it just proves that most drug treatment type programs are a scam. Like politics--people go into something with good intentions but then the impossibility of accomplishing what was originally intended shows its face. Money is usually the next motivator in line.

Hi Bluelighters.

I always ask myself this, since I don't consider myself an anxious person, maybe depressed, but benzos have never caused me euphoria, not even like alcohol and not to mention opioids. Is it a requirement to suffer from some degree of anxiety to feel the high and euphoria of benzos?
Benzos just make me sleep. Right now I just took 2mg of alprazolam and I'm just feeling sedated and sleepy. I have a low tolerance for benzos btw.

Flualprazolam was quite euphoric, more way more than valium, which is the least euphoric one IMO . Too bad I don't rememer anything from my use haha

Coming from the opioid route I thought xanax would have euphoria based on what others have said. For me there is absolutely no euphoria.

True but you are not alone.
As an occasional benzo-user, I see no remarkable euphoria in this kind of benzo. Its is nothing but a short-acting anti-anxiety/anti-panic Benzo or probably a strong sleep aid if we take a lot.

This benzo at least gives the consumer a 30 minutes buzz, before it puts u to sleep. The link below confirms whatever u said.

List Of Benzodiazepines From Weakest to Strongest
 
Yeah, I suppose you can but I would call it less euphoria and more relaxation. But if you want to try chasing benzo euphoria, I'm here to tell you it can definitely help you steal a little girl's bike and then wrap your car around a telephone pole and try to talk your way out of charges with the police before waking up in jail with no recollection of any of it. Just an example.

Also they're very good at making entire stashes disappear so you look for them for the next 6 weeks only to realize you ate the entire bag.

I've not tried Flualprazolam before but Diaz itself is better than Alpraz.

So according to the link you posted before, the ideal would be a long-lasting, low-potency benzo, like diazepam? For recreational purposes I say.
I think that of the few benzos that I have taken, clonazepam is the only one that has given me some euphoria but it's also the most intoxicating if you take a higher dose than you are used to. Clonazepam seems great for anxiety and alprazolam it's just a sleep-aid for me.
