You can get somnolence from alprazolam and benzos in general sure, but I wouldn't call somnolence an out of body experience.

This thread also belongs in Basic Drug Discussion (BDD) so I'm going to move it there.
 
I think you would fall asleep well before any type of nodding.
I can't say for sure, but I would have to go with it not being generally possible to "nod" ( in the usual sense fo the word) from xanax.

It certainly alters your mood, feeling, state of mind what ever you want to call it. But I don't think it will ever create an out of body experience
 
No out of body experience, But two mg of xanax will certainly be a weird experience.

You fall asleep and wake up in intervals, so you actually dream out part of the experience which may be leading some to think it is an OBE...

When I first took xanax I took 2 mg. I could not stay awake for the life of me. I felt I was constantly waking up, and people around me were asking was I o.k. i felt extremely serene and content with the world... It was funny, I had not a single danger bone in my body.
 
With a high dose of xanax you kinda nod off and wake up having no memory of what happened or what you were doing. Its certainly not an opiate nod though. I've "nodded off" many times watching a movie. Just starting a movie and then opening my eyes and the movie being over, having no idea what happened. Its weird you lose hours of your life without knowing where they went, kinda scary. At least xanax alone is safe, even if you "nod off" more like blackout nothing bad healthwise happens. Unless your driving a car or something like that. Taking larger amounts of xanax I always wanna be sitting down in a safe position, because you never know when one of these blackouts will happen. Sometimes its just 1 minute, sometimes its 5 hours.

I'm prescribed 3 bars a day. It does nothing other than keep my panic at bay. If I were to take 10 bars I might get high or nod off to sleep but I doubt it would be an opiate type nod. My brother says, and I quote, "There is no recreational effect of Xanax for me...I take it and 5 minutes later I am drooling on my pillow"
 
Hello, please do not bump old threads, especially if you have nothing of interest to add to the conversation. You should know better by now considering your join date. Thread closed.
