Its funny that its so ballyhooed on this site and others for being so great and strong and the best benzo yet when I took it it didn't even do anything. I got it from a real pharmacy not online, but not from a chain pharmacy like CVS. But still I doubt the pills are fake since they look exactly like they're supposed to and I don't see why they'd give me fake pills. I took 2 mg of the generic greenstones (which are supposedly the best generics too) and I didn't feel any body or mental relaxation, I didn't feel any different. I take benzos legitimately for anxiety. I usually take 1.5 or 2 mg of Klonopin, which I've seen being trashed a lot on here some reason, and I actually feel it relaxing my body but I don't feel anything from Xanax even though they're supposedly the same thing or some people say more in terms of potency. Why exactly is this trash so popular I don't know. Is it possible that Xanax doesn't work for some people even though Klonopin does or could the pills be fake? I need to know so I stop wasting my time with Xanax thinking it might work next time or if the pills might be fake so I don't go back to that pharmacy of it just doesn't work for some people. Does it not work for anybody else?
 
Heh, tough to say. Most here like it because its short half life and strong peak hold high recreational value (not for me, but for many).

Most of my clients with legit reasons for the benzos, who are being honest with themselves, find the longer lasting benzos more effective for longterm anxiety. Xanex is great at stopping panic attacks as they happen.

(Note I do not prescribe medication, I just deal with the aftermath from those who do, I'm a talk therapist. I am not qualified to prescribe medication and these are not expert opinions.)
 
Xanax is strange in that you don't realize how fucked up you are until they wear off. Not such the case with clonazepam as it is much more of a potent muscle relaxant.

If you take 4mg of Xanax and feel nothing you are either too fucked up to realize you are or your tolerance is much higher than you realized.

Not really. I don't feel any different than from when i don't take anything at any point in all the times I've taken Xanax. Its like I haven't taken anything. Its not about tolerance since Klonopin works fine for me and at not that high doses. Xanax is so worthless and a huge disappoint that I might as well just throw them away since they're a waste of cabinet space but I'll probably keep them just for placebos.
 
Only one way to find out... hide your car keys & other drugs and drop 8mg. If you don't wake up on your neighbors lawn wearing a tuxedo several hours later with no recollection of how you got there then it's a possibility you have an immunity to their effect. :D
 
IDK about all of the above.. I can easily taken down 10mg legit Alprazolam, and yeah I can't remember every exact detail of the night.. but still, i dont totally loose my mind, at all.

Its really all user and tolerant dependency that makes the difference, along with the dose of course.
