Benzos Maintaining xanax High?

[opiomoter]

So SWIM ingested 3 xanny bars the previous night and still feels good after waking up this morning. Is their anyway to keep the blood or plasma levels high of the xanax so SWIM could maybe feel this mild buzz the rest of the day. SWIM was thinking of taking a tagamet or grapefruit juice, but is not sure whether that would help since xanax was ingested yesterday night. Any suggestions?

Just let it go man.

This is a pool free board, there is NO SWIMMING! Just say that you took them.

Xanax has a short half life, so most likely it's already gone, as ^^ said "let it go", however, if there was any left, tagamet would hlep by inhibiting cyp3a4

we do not SWIM here "opiomoter", it is of no good or benefit to yourself (legally or otherwise) to use that term rather than talking in first person. To answer your question... just let it go, like stated in an earlier post alprazolam has a short half life and nothing that you do now will significantly inhibit its metabolism or extend the duration of effects besides taking more xanax itself.

yeah the short halflife is one of the reasons xanax makes you feel high, compared to clonazepam (or other long acting benzos)

there's really nothing you can do after 4-8 hours...

8 hours is definently pushing it, I think i've had it last that long maybe once out of 3000 times. It usually last 3-4 hours, if you want to keep getting high then you need to keep taking it.

Another interesting point is the xanax high isn't always going to be "perfect" usually it's good under the right circumstances I.E. if your stressed out.

when you take the xanax take it with the equivalent of 12fl oz. of 30% juice grapefruit juice and 30 mins latter and then take an anti acid tab

Take a longer acting benzo next time, that's the proper solution.

I prefer the high from diazepam myself, and you're still buzzed the whole next day.

You said you still feel it, even though most of it is gone. If you smoke a little weed you'll probably get a little more of a relaxed feeling than usual. Next time take a tagamet (cimetidine) 1hr before and 1hr after. Use 75% of your normal alprazolam dose just to be safe.

Grapefruit juice works as well, but not that ocean spray crap. Get "simply grapefruit" or one of the other natural ones that are actually just grapefruit juice. None of the ones made from concentrate and high fructose corn syrup.

Smoking weed always did the trick for me while taking xanax, it really goes great together.

I've heard benzos can be potentiated by inhibiting the enzymatic activity of CYP3A4, causing slower breakdown of the substance in question, and leading somehow (exactly how, I'm not sure) to higher plasma concentration. I've also heard that taking a CYP inhibitor increases oral bioavailability of drugs metabolized by that particular enzyme (which is a wide variety of drugs, if I understand correctly). The easiest CYP inhibitor to get ahold of is grapefruit juice. There are also a number of pharmaceutical ones. Also, it is my understanding that a large number of drugs taken via oral administration are metabolized by CYP3A4, meaning this is potentially useful for more than just Xanax.

Other than that, just switch to a benzodiazepine with a longer half life like Clonazepam, Diazepam, or Lorazepam. You can use an equivalency chart to figure out the half-life of whatever benzo you happen upon.
