I figured out a long time ago that if I talked to a doctor long enough I could get him to prescribe me anything. This isn't just one doctor, I'm talking over fifity doctors.

It all started in Australia 4 years ago when my dad had Xanax. I tried it. I liked it. A lot. I kept taking it, but not enough to get hooked.

I stopped for a year. Came to Vancouver, doctor prescribed me Temazepam for my anxiety. Now, this is where it goes all wrong. He gives me a prescription bottle of 70 30mg Temazepams, take twice nightly before bed.

Well, needless to say I was absolutely hooked within three months. I was clinic hopping manipulating doctors into giving me medications I've never even been prescribed.

Four days ago I walked into a clinic, saw the doctor for about four minutes and walked out with a prescription of 150 30mg Temazepams. Well, they're already gone. I know I'm not addicted again since it was in a four day period, but I think I've developed a massive tolerance.

Went to a clinic today, saw a doctor for about literally two minutes and walked out with 180 1mg Alprazolams. I took two, nothing. Two more, nothing. That's 4mg. That's a lot. I took another 4mg. That's 8mg now. Guess what? Feeling NOTHING. I'm high, clearly, but not what a benzo does. I had no anxiety but there were no of the other benzodiazepine effects, like euphoria and muscle relaxation.

I waited four hours and tested something out. Four hours later I took 13mg at once and was quite high, but not like what a 3mg Xanax used to do to me.

I'm assuming this is just tolerance building up?

Should I just take 15mg as a recreational dose instead?

Also, I know they're not fakes. Came from a pharmacy and are bitter as hell.
 
After a while your body adjusts to Xanax and you will still get high but you will not fall asleep and all that good stuff anymore. I abstain from xanax for months at a time ad still when I take one I do not get the euphoria or sleepiness. Just a slow motion high. Sigh pretty pointless now

If you take 15mg you will prob just black out. I thought I should take more because I wasn't getting euphoria as well but to my surprise I woke the next day with no memory an I was video taped as completely fucked up but no euphoria tht I can remember. Ugh

You pretty much pushed it to the max, and you aren't goin back anytime soon. What do you mean, you are high but no euphoric effects? Benzos aren't really euphoric in the first place, and especially not when you are habituated.
Bro you've gotta stop shopping so you can stop the benzos. That type of behavior is just scary man.
 
In my experience with benzos, if I lay off them totally ( which usually happens because i get caught up busy and can't waste time looking for them) for about a month * hell * and when i come back to getting them i can feel very nice for 2 or 3 days and then it's back to normal. I've been on benzos for nearly 9 yrs.

Also you can try switching to another benzo for awhile and taking far less, like switch to clonazepam and take 1mg a day or less and then months later switch back to the other benzos. Those are about the only ways i know to bring back the buzz i used to get, and even then... like i said... it only lasts a few days.

Anymore i just take benzos like the doctors want me too, for anxiety....still works, but the original fun is gone. They're just useful tools now to me.
 
At this point I don't think WorldWar should be taking anymore benzos than necessary to stave off acute withdraw. At those doses with that type of behavior behind it death could be around any corner.
 
so whats this post about? you have a tolerance thats it? whats the question? just lay off the benzos for a week and then take them every few days thats what i do and keep 0.5mg xanax aside for your real anxiety then pop the good stuff when your tolerance is low
