ive been thinking of trying xanax by itself or maybe when im coming down from E. whats xanax make you feel like? is there any recriational value to it? how much would i need to take to have a good time? is it better by itself or when coming down from E? any dangers to it? thanx for n e help =D
 
I remember taking some xanax once before going to a party. Smoked a bowl, had 1 beer, took a xanax. Thats about all i remember because the rest of the night was just a blur. I remember sporadic things from time to time, but thats about it. Kinda sucked cuz i was told it was a fun party.
 
benzos are not really all that recreational. they are anti-anxiety medications, and mixed with alchohol can have a strong sedative effect and mind errasing qualities. they are good for coming down, relaxing or falling asleep, not going out to party. i don't see any danger in taking a xanax after coming off of E, the effects would be similar to having a few drinks.
 
While I personally don't find benzos that recreational -- and really only use them to relieve stress or help me sleep -- plenty of people DO catch a buzz from them...benzos feel fairly similar to alcohol, thus the reason some people find them enjoyable. And benzos CAN make you feel really 'out of it', a sensation many people enjoy.
 
I get a recreational value out of xanax and I know many other people that also take it and feel the same way. It prolly would help the E comedown, because it makes you calm and sedated. But it is also quite fun by itself or with a few drinks or a blunt. It just makes you feel like you're drunk without the stomach pain or next day hangover. It also makes me sleep really good afterwards for awhile. Don't take too much though, or you prolly won't remember anything. I took 2 one time, and I dont remember ANYTHING at all. People said I was drinking some, and that this one girl came over for like 5 hours,and one girl and I were lying together talking, and I dont remember any of it at all. I personally see that as a waste if you don't remember anything.
 
Last weekend I drank a six pack and took 1mg XANAX....after a while I became so high I thought my head was going to float off my shoulders.....Its strange that alone Xanax doesnt have that much recreational value but when combined with herb or alcohol it brings you to another plane of existance.....
 
To some people Xanax does have recreational value, to me personally, I only take them when I'm coming down of a stimulant. It isn't all that dangerous to take it when you are finishing a roll, if you have not tolerance to it then you should probably take about 2mg and you will probably have an easier come down and pass out for a few hours. Alcohol does enhance the effects of a Benzo, but be careful when mixing any drug with another. They are known to be mind erasers so if you take a lot, don't expect to remember much of the time you are on them.
 
Ahhh, Xannies, good to do once, but because of them, I don't remember some of my summer, well quite a bit.

Cheers.
 
Xanax info, many uses

Xanax, and similar benzos like ativan can have many good uses.

Like mentioned, coming down from drugs, esp. hallucinogens; or stimulants. It makes for a smooth landing and eases insomnia.

Before taking hallucinogen: reduces anxiety but can inhibit (lightly)desired hallucinatory effects. (.5mg is good for this)

Killing a trip: If having a bad trip, taking xanax will reduce the negative thoughts (.5-1mg). Take enough (2-4mg) and the trip will be over with only slight residue effects remaining.

It will help an alcohol hangover, or gbl/ghb (but water works almost as good).

Releiving anxiety: this is a big one. Simple worries become thoughts with no emotion attached. Big worries become simple worries. If u have anxiety disorder (generalized) like me, xanax is very useful in easing that constant, negative physical stimulative feeling in the chest and stomach which seems to increase mental anxiety.

Insomnia: i dont find xanax a knockout drug that will put u to sleep, but it slows thinking which is necessary for sleep. The relaxed feeling makes it easier to sleep.

Withdrawl: i imagine xanax would be helpful to some extent with any addiction.

Caution: xanax causes dependence thats not to be taken lightly. withdrawl can be quite terrible. i've been using benzos frequently for 2 years, and i cant distinguish what effects are from my anxiety disorder and what is from withdrawl.
 
They are GREAT when you're spending the night at home with some friends or alone and you're trying to relax. I DONT like them that much when Im out doing stuff, they tend to drain the energy from me.

Definately good stuff, but on the bottom of my list for actual 'recreational' drugs.
 
Xanax are fun for people who cant get/ havent tried opiates..

Anyway, I take xanax if I truely want to relax or desperatly need sleep.... After a long coke or speed binge xanax will total clear the anxiety of the comedown and put you to sleep like an infant!
 
it's weird, but i felt nothing at all from xanax and drinking...my friend can take it and she's loopy and having fun the rest of the nite..i took a whole bar, and got nothing...but the weird thing is that i could only remember different parts of the nite, or only remember things after someone told me about something that happened.

no buzz, but no memory either

My opinion: fuck opiates, gimme xanax.

I dont like opiates in any form. Everyone is different.

My opinion: fuck YOU, haha, i am totally joking around man, just odd to see someone who doesn't like opiates...there's another one on this board who has posted frequently about his dislike towards opiates, man I can't even begin to imagine what isn't liked about them...but then again being a heroin addict probably makes me think this way ;)

Again, to assure you beyond all doubts, I was joking up there with the fuck you thing.
