Oh it certainly makes me hyper, definitely some odd neurological thing going on with a very small number of us. Put it this way, I can't sleep off them; and highest dose? More than anyone would likely be able to reasonably guess, put it that way, it tends to make people doubt me or think it's some kind of shite brag. Tolerance built fast on that alprazolam powder from Spain. Either way, 330mg alprazolam. 2mg measured with PG knocked my friend out; it was definitely active and potent. Just my benzo receptors weren't.
My wake up call was when I started getting brain zaps ON benzos (on that 330mg dose). I did well tapering off in all fairness, took a few months or so. But that last seizure could have killed me, I'm sure of it. They really struggled to get their anti-seizure meds (lorazepam) to work for some reason (8(), and I'm surprised they eventually did. No idea how much they administered, but there was a lot of hustle and bustle going on when I came round noticably and happily benzo'd.
I went to the nurse "what was that drug you just gave me" and she replied "lorazepam, and it took a lot, we were just surprised it eventually worked". I went "oh is that what it's called, I think I'll need some more of that" and she just smiled sweetly and went "I think you won't".
Yip, exactly what happens to me. Do you have ADHD? I have inattentive ADHD and I think that's related. I have serious issues with getting shit done, and something, neurologically is resolved entirely by benzos. If not for the cognitive defecit and addiction potential it would literally be the best ADHD med for me. Way better than dexamphetamine, street base, or 4f-methylphenidate have done for me. They just don't give me that absolute wonder at doing motivating tasks, and the fact I can see it's happening and working. FTR I don't buy the less anxiety = reason why angle. Too simple, it's deeper & more complex than that and it's very specific to benzos. Other GABA drugs don't do it, but phenibut came closest (yet nowhere near). Gabapentin apparently doesn't hit GABA receptors like initially thought, but that comes close too. I don't get drunk or anything off that, just super focussed with a discerning eye keeping check on me. Psychedelic, like a microdose.
