Hello I have a few questions regarding xanax use.

I'd like to say for starters I do have General anxiety. I'm also prone to panic attacks while on weed and I'm not sure if the benzo would cause or just sedate me. I've been drinking for quite awhile now and I'd like something I can responsibly do on a strict time and when (every month/every 2 weeks etc) And I enjoyed drinking for the most part. It was just the first 30-40 minutes I'd feel euphoric and I absolutely loved it but then I'd have to suffer the drunk and dull feeling. I'd also take weed while drunk and even large amounts would cause me to freek out but less than if I was sober. When I'm sober on weed I get really crazy thoughts and panic the hell out.

So I figured I might like xan because of how it affects the GABA receptors just like alcohol, and have a nice drunk (but good) feeling.

I've also thought of weed+xan - Would this maybe sedate the other effects of the weed? Would I possibly be able to get high and feel great?

So I'm 100-110 lbs and about 5'5

How much should I take if I want to feel mildly euphoric and just happy? I'm not looking to be super high my first time.

Also I've read about alcohol+xan=no. But would it be possible for me to have 1 drink and then go ahead with the xan just so I feel ready and calmed about taking it?

Sorry about the long questions, but I'm in dire need of these to be answered, thanks.
 
Weed plus Xanax or any other benzo is a pretty common combo. The mechanism of action for Marijuana isn't fully identified, however, and I believe we will find that Marijuana has the same effects as a stimulant on Dopamine and Norepinephrine in the future. But until then - go for it!

On a side note, please do not drink any alcohol with a any sort of depressant. This added CNS depression that the alcohol would cause could slow down your breathing to the point that you suffocate - especially with a Benzodiazepine as they both potentiate GABA.
 
Alright thanks

Now how much should I take if I want a mellow relaxed/slight euphoric feeling? Similar as to having a few drinks for like the first 20 mins on alcohol
 
as above, weed goes great with any benzo including xanax. are you female? (females often can consume a lower dose for identical effects) i'm a 5'7" ~160 lbs male and the first time i took xanax i consumed an entire 1 mg blue football and i slept like a baby for like 14 hours. of course, i had eaten a bunch of bud brownies and had a glass of champagne as well (getting off probation party). so given your height and weight, and how much my girlfriend of similar h/w needs, maybe start with 0.25 mg or even 0.125 mg for your first time. xanax is pretty strong; a little goes a long way. not sure what dose pills you have, i know it's hard to meter off 0.25 mg from a 2 mg bar but if you have 1 mg or 0.5 mg pills it will be easier to meter a small dose.
 
Male, but I just need a correct dosage to feel mellow and happy. not high and crazy
 
All of the above advice is very good. As for a starting xanax dose, start very low as people are saying, it's fast acting so you can see how it effects you, the titrate upward a bit if you aren't exactly where you want to be. Start too high though and you can't go in reverse.

I think the biggest thing to stress is that you want to avoid mixing alcohol with benzos, or simply dosing too many benzos. At this point one can risk CNS depression as stated, and black out which in many cases leads to drinking, or taking more pills you won't even remember. At best you'll make a fool of yourself, but at worst the consequences can be dire. Just exercise caution and all should be well.

I can't comment on what marijuana feels like with benzos, as I myself don't smoke, so listen to what the other posters are saying in this regard.
 
Weed brings out my anxiety unless it is indica based. I often take xanax to enjoy the high of the weed so I am not tight in the shoulders and back. No more than 1/2 milligram for starters. (i.e. 1 piece of a 4 bar)

xanax and drinking really do not mix. It is not uncommon at all for people to take a xanax and blackout after the 3rd or 4th drink. As pointed out, too much of both alcohol and xanax and you could go to sleep and not wake up. That is why the blackouts are scary. Your judgement is gone and you have no idea if you have taken any more or taken anything else along with it.

Please be careful.
 
I would just pop the xan. Weed still makes me panic even when I'm on xanax....Nothing can stop that fear that everything is ending feeling. But watch out on the xanax man, Like .25 is good. When I first used a xanax I was at school and this chick that liked me gave me a bar and I took the whole thing.....Slepts in one period for like three hours but the day went by so fast.....Thankfully I didn't black out and do something stupid. Xanax is very potent and if you can therapy works good for anxiety but I am also on klonopin so that is a factor. I would just say go easy on it. Because you can black out and this will def happen if you drink on it.
 
Firstly, weed+Xanax will just knock you out, also Xanax gives no euphoria, I think only weed will give you the euphoria and sedation you are looking for. Drink alcohol with the xanax, 1mg and 3-4 beers or 2mg by itself without alcohol will give you a nice buzz without alcohol or weed if this is your first time
 
I suggest 0.5mg. Xanax with both buds and brews. You will feel the effect of the Xanax, and it should make your weed high less paranoid; also, the alcohol will work with it syngeristically. If after 45min., you're not satisfied: dose an additional 0.5mg., but do not exceed 1mg. if heavy drinking is involved.
 
^The last two post are way under-estimating first Xanax. I have a solid tolerance to all 3 drugs. Even .5 with a bit of weed and a couple beers would fuck me up pretty good. I would probably have to put some serious effort into walking straight.

Its first time your taking Xanax, a potent tranquilizer, do you really NEED to add weed and alcohol into the mix? I can pretty much gaurantee you will regret combining all 3. If you want to be safe, which is why I assume you asked the question, you should probably just try a small amount of Xanax by itself first.
 
I agree with weekend addiction. Get used to a very small dose of xanax and weed first. It is a fast acting tranquilizer. The only time I take more than 1mg is during a severe panic attack. I have been taking it for 10 years.

I need xanax for anxiety, so I don't really abuse it to keep my tolerance low and my doc giving it to me for what I need it for. I also have friends who pop several "bars" and their dependency is so great, they suffer seizures when they withdraw from it. That is something I wish not to experience and don't wish upon anyone.

Weed also causes anxiety in many people. It wsn;t till I smoked some true indica that I experienced a high that was relaxing and euphoric.

Be careful with the xanax, my friends. It can bite you in the ass.
 
He implies that he has GAD and if it is as bad as mine then ya xanax by itself will give euphoria......But like I said weed makes me panic no matter what I try to anadote it...Nothing helps.....And I hate drinking. All it does is make me have a headache.....I once took a 1 mg klonopin and drink half a glass of really good red wine and blacked out for four days. No kidding....I highly suggest that you get used to xanax before you mixe them. If you want to smoke weed. Fine...IDC but if it makes you anxious I wouldn't worry about it......I smoked weed from 12 to 21. It was my fav....I kinda miss the euphoria it gave me.

While i agree its not a safe combo,it definitly feels great. Its a good idea to try xanax first on its on though. But to some people th ecombo isnt so incapaciting. I love champagne + xanax + weed (when i could smoke it wthitout going into a day long panic attack), or Bombay gin + xanax + weed. Alcohol + flunitrazepam + weed,well....that anotha story :P

PS : to the op, i dont recommend doing the combos i mentionned at all,because if im fine it doesnt mean ytou will be. But xanax + weed is prety nice, you will still feel the high although more of a body buzz then a mental buzz.
