Have taken about 2.50 mg oF Xanax thoughout the day due to headaches/ anxiety. This is more than my prescribed dose to a but worried as to whetheri have accidently ODed. Felling pretty good (of course after this!) but is is safe to sleep without fear of not waking up?? Sorry stressing out a bit (obv why as to why was prescribed it in the first place! hope BL can put my mind as rest as would be nice to pass out right about now! x
 
If you haven't taken any other downers (alcohol, opiates, etc) then you'll be fine. Benzos alone are extremely hard to OD on.
 
thanks Snake_Eyes! Just stressing out!Took Sumatriptan for migraine yesterday afternoon but it basicly had no effect. So you think there no need to stress and can sleep soundly?? it's weird, I never used to get anxious about this sort of thing!
 
luckily dangerous benzodiazepines overdoses only occur in insanely high amounts (something like 100x the therapeutic dose), so you will be fine.

that being said you may become very sleepy if your tolerance is low, but not to the point of life-threatening CNS depression.


oh and there is no need to worry about the wine, but don't drink any more.
 
Yeah, you should be fine. If you're only on a benzodiazepine and you'd taken a dangerous amount your posts wouldn't be coherent. And that's not high dose for someone prescribed this medication.

Just don't take any other downers, benzos are definitely dangerous when mixed with alcohol, sleeping medication, opiates, etc. The wine last night isn't a concern though, it's no longer in your system.
 
Thanks so much. So I shudnt worry about having taken sumatriptan yesterday either? I guess that was ages ago though!
 
think will just chill out and go to bed! Would love to pop another one though... shiiiiit this shit is moreish!
 
Ya, they are pretty moreish, I got 30 to last me the the month 3 days ago and have 7 left. They are the ONE benzo that gives me euphoria and makes time fly by soooo fast. Think it has to do with the short half life that makes you wanna redose so much, with klonopin or valium I usually take my dose for the day(maybe more later) but with xanax I usually end up 6+mg in short periods of time,lol.
 
how long does it take 4 the honeymaking phase of making time fly to come back
 
Thanks all for your help! As you can see, I'm still alive ;)
Screaming_Skull, I feel your pain!! Tolerance builds up so quickly and then they're all gone!! Gona have a little detox/ break and see if that does the trick. Altho benzo withdrawal = eeuuugh
