3mg of xanax is highly unecessary unless you're tolerant. IME xanax isn't the most recreational substance, and it is far from euphoric unless you have anxiety problems. Why do you want to take xanax? If you dont have any anxiety i wouldnt expect much. My anxiety is really bad so i get much more of an effect from xanax compared to majority of my friends. Start at .5mg which is one piece of most bars, and move your dose up from there. The funny thing with benzos is you don't notice how fucked up you are untill you come down. I wouldnt expect much euphoria, i mean it has some but its not as pronouced as the euphoria from opiates.
