I don't find xanax very recreational. I usually take it at night so my mind can unwind. Can't tell you how many times I have to rewatch movies because my mind is still "at work". During the day I take my Kpins; usually first thing in the AM. I find that it keep me calm at work and I don't get worked up when stress occurs. For some reason it's somewhat stimulating and doesn't sedate me. It's the perfect benzo for anxiety treatment.
However I can tell you aren't really here for that. No worries, we all enjoy a good time. IME, a large dose of Kpins will make me feel floaty and I loose my inhibitions. I've spent way too much money doing online binge shopping on large amounts of Kpins.
Xanax is quick and to the point. I wish I could get recreational effects from it on top of the medical ones, but I don't no matter how much I take. The only thing guaranteed by a large dose of Xanax is a foggy morning wake up.
NOW, please listen to me. Benzo addiction is VERY serious and can be deadly. You "just" got a script and a friend gave you a bunch for free. You sound young and impressionable. If you are seeking a high, benzo's are not the compounds to mess with. That "fucked up" feeling you get now will soon fade.
I made/make mistakes like everyone. I've been on benzo's for 8 years. I learned about benzo withdrawl being deadly YEARS later once I was already hooked on my legit script. Now I order them so I have a surplus as it's become more of a chore to get my script filled. I have anxiety issues already. It SUCKS when you get panic attacks about your script getting filled on time. What I'm trying to express is you don't want to become me. I will admit I'm a functioning addict.
I hate to preach, but I see TONS of newbie benzo threads on here daily and it worries me.
I'm HAPPY you came here for advice. That shows you have still have a good head on your shoulders. Think about about where you want to be in the next 5-10yrs.
Good luck and please be safe.
