Not quite sure how to word this but...what is the intensity of a .5mg Lorazepam? And mixed with 1mg of Alprazolam?
:)
 
Do you mean how strong is it? Are you familiar with benzos at all? If so, have a look at the benzodiazepine equivalency chart in my signature for a guide.. 1mg lorazepam = 0.5mg alprazolam = 10mg diazepam (roughly). So going by that 1mg alprazolam is 4 times as strong as 0.5m lorazepam!

Alprazolam and lorazepam are both short acting anxiolytic benzos (meaning they are anti-anxiety, but not as likely to put you to sleep as hypnotic benzos).

0.5mg lorazepam should definitely be okay for a starting dose even if you are not used to benzos. 1mg alprazolam is pretty strong!
 
For me mixing them seems to potentiate them so it looks like a good dose for a starter, but to be honest the first time i took xanax (it was really the first benzo i had ever taken) i took 1mg, then 2mg more, forgot i took that extra 2mg so i took like i guess 3mg or so more. I was blacked out by that time so i ended up eating like 9mg of xanax, all of my friken xanax... The point im making is xanax makes your memory bad when your high on it so you may end up taking all of your pills, so be careful of that
 
Very good point! Adding alcohol into the mix makes this even more likely, but benzos alone will do it too...

If you've not had lorazepam before I'd advise trying it on its own first - I think this is a good general rule for anything that you haven't already tried.

Yeh, just don't add alcohol to the mix. Kills the memory and you end up taking loads, forgetting you already have.

Back in my days of 'oh, it'll be alright' I took a couple Xanax and some beers, ended up taking loads more and losing 2 days! Sounds funny but I genuinly have no recolection of them and, well anything could have happened.
 
This thread seems to have become more of a social/subjective discussion thread which would be much more suited for the BDD Social and Information Booth v3

Am going to close the thread now but please feel free to carry on the disccusion in the Social Thread I have linked to above :)

If you have any problems with my closing of the thread or think that it should be reopened then shoot me a PM

Mugz :)
