I'm going to be getting my hands on 5 2mg xanax bars and i'd like to know what would be a pleasureable amount to use without being groggy as hell the nexy day - factor in this though - i'm on methadone, 80mg a day. If i take 80mg methadone bright and early in the morning, would would be a nice amount of xanax to use in the late afternoon say 3:30 or 4? Like start with 1mg, than maybe a couple hrs later have another 1mg? I dont have much experience with xanax - i just dont want to be knocked on my butt groggy the next day ya know?

In my experience: Take one (either all at once are break in half/4ths and take over an hour if you're too unsure) and hide the rest.

My first experience with xanax was almost identical and I woke up with no drugs believing someone stole my stash and angry at my friends.

Benzos is tricky, they is..
 
i think you're both right - on, easy does it if you have to work the next day huh? The bars i will have are 2mg bars - so only take haf a bar? Will taking a whole one(2mg) total over the evening knock me out the next day

Haha I like that advice. I've definitely tore through more xanax and other drugs than intended with no memory of it at all.
But I'd start with 1mg and wait one hour (unless you are stuffed, I recommend taking it on a fairly empty stomach.) If you aren't satisfied, take the other half. Be careful, though. Benzos can come on very subtly, and you'll be fucked up and blacked out before you can stop yourself. ALSO, be careful mixing xanax with your methadone. It can lead to increased respiratory depression, but if you're regularly taking methadone and you start low with the xanax, you should be ok.
Be safe! Xanax can be a crazy, unpredictable drug if you don't know it's effects.

You should be fine, as long as you don't take your last dose like right before bed, even then you will probably wake up fine, nothing a little coffee couldn't cure. Xanax has a short half life, so it'll be gone by the time you wake up.
 
Be careful with the benzos. Really, really tricky to get right. I'd say start with a milligram and then dose another an hour later to get you set.
 
I did the benzo trip for quite some time. Seizure, car wreck, the whole nine yards. I know a person who will break off a quarter of a 2mg bar and practically be put into a coma. Unfortunately I'm not the same. For me, the xanies are very unpredictable unless I do them on a regular basis. Start slow and work your way up or else you will just wipe pages off the calendar.
 
Be really careful combining alprazolam with methadone; most people would advise you don't combine the two whatsoever.

I wouldn't take more than 0.5mg at first, until you are used to it.

Basic dosing questions belong in BDD.
 
Since you are are not familiar with Xanax, and you are taking methadone, I would start with 0.5 mg (1/4 bar). See what happens, then take another 0.5 mg . If the 0.5 mg didn't do anything to you, take 1 mg on your second dose. In my unprofessional opinion, you probably won't need more than 1.5 mg (3/4 of a bar) for the whole night.

One last thing: in my experience, the effects of benzodiazepines are extremely subtle when not combined with alcohol. Listen to your body 15-45 minutes after your first dose. I have found that getting up, walking around, talking to someone, putting on some music, or even dancing a little helps me to accurately judge how fucked up I am.

Have fun getting bar-tarded. =D
 
Start with half a bar = 1mg and that will make you feel good. But just a heads up, you will probably end up taking all of them in a short period of time. Thats my experience with Xanax. Once you feel it kick in, you will loose all ambition, and "i dont give a fuck" will kick in.

The problem is, you wont realize it till later when you are off of them. You will swear that you are fine at the time.

My gf does this, she takes too much Xanax, acts bar'd out, i try to tell her to calm down, she turns into a bitch, way different than her normal self, and nothing i can say will convince her otherwise. Until she is off of them, which is when she will apologize, and tells me i was rite. Guaranteed, happens every time with her. Its so annoying.

Bottom line, when your on Xanax, you dont realize that your acting different till you "wake up".

I personally dont like Xanax anymore. I use to eat handfuls of them just to feel normal. Now if i take more than 1mg, i start to feel stupid, literally. It just makes me dumb. I hate xanax now.

I always have to babysit when one of my friends eats too much Xanax.

I STRONGLY AGREE with Captain.Heroin.
Start with no more than 0.5mg, I can take a ton, but I have a good tolerance. All of my friends who rarely take them can get very messed up off of them.
Also, since your on methadone, be especially careful, it can definitely cause respritory depression (death) combining these two!
 
This combination is amazing and a quick way to get a good nod on. I like the advice above about taking one and hiding the rest. On second thought give them to a friend. What i liked to do was take a bar and pop half. Chop the other half up and put it into two rails. Snort those mother fuckers!!! Enjoy and definetely dont go near your car keys.
 
first time i tok xanax it was at school. i was 15, and popped 4mg. i blacked out didnt remmember shit.
 
be very careful xanax beginner . for me the shit was like pandoras box , or like that ring in lord of the rings,

turned my ass into a golem ,


tread carefully. and i aint even on a methadone program

i used to hate pharmaceuticals ,

as i look back the shit i've done for sticks is pretty pathetic,
i aint sucked no cock,
but i stole and done some shady shit , and i never was no thief

best advice
take those 5 sticks and flush them,
but if you dont want to do that take a quarter stick,

its always wise to start off low and slow ,. and methadone and xanax is kinda like a no~no deadly combo
 
Xanax is VERY strong and continues to surprise me how strong it can be even for someone like me with a tolerance.

I am very uneducated about methadone and its interactions with xanax, so fyi

But if I were you as someone new to xanax I would start by taking 1/4 of a bar just to start out....i know alot of people say take half (1mg) but seriously 1mg is enough to send someone into blackout mode without a tolerance...ive seen it happen before...

Start slow, realize xanax is very powerful, and take it slow.
 
Another thing about xanax: people are NOT bullshitting when they say that you may realize you may take more without even noticing it...i have done it with absolutely no memory of taking 2 bars even though I only took 1 (and took them in halfs...those new green bars are FUCKED!)

Hide the pills somewhere seriously...that is no bullshit.

I had to break up with a girl because of her eccessive xanax use, she would turn into a completely diffferent person, slurring worse than any drunk ive ever met, and just turned unimaginable.

She was beautiful too....but she would constantly lie sayin she was gunna stop taking them and then would call me at night not making any sense and yeah...no bueno

Xanax is fuckin POWERFUL people really needa not mess with it often.
 
If your on Methadone and have no experience with alprazolam than start with the lowest dose possible. 0.5mg should be fine for you. You can take another 0.5mg an hour and half later if you want to but no more than a 1mg/day. Get adjusted to the effects first. Combining opiates and benzodiazepines can be very dangerous, especially a quick acting one like Xanax.
