So im trying Xanax for the first time later in the week, a few questions.

1. Xanax ER 2mg - Should I just pop it normally? Would that be enough, should I take more?
2. Might try extraction method using lime juice so I can have almost 2mg IR - What effect would that have on me?

My bodyweight is around 96 KGs / 211 pounds. Thanks.
 
There is absolutely no reason to extract it. 2 mgs will be a little too much at first, I suggest you break the pill in half and crush one half. Then orally administer the now, instant release alprazolam. If you don't have tolerence a single mg should be sufficient to feel effects. You can always titrate your way up, so start low.
 
I see, I've read that crushing and bombing a Xanax ER doesnt really get rid of the ER but I wasnt to sure of that so I'll prob do what you suggested.

I've tried 2-3mgs of Clonazepam which was nice and calming but not overwhelming in anyway, would a dose of 1-2mgs of xanax be similar to that experience?
 
they're different and affect everyone differently.
clonazepam has never felt calming or sedating to me.
but it does for other ppl.
xanax @ 1mg. in general will do the trick for a 1st timer.
i know a few 200 lb men who enjoyed their nap after injesting 1/2 that dose.
start low. no drinking! :)

Alprazolam (xanax) and Clonazepam (Kpins) are the same strength mg per mg. Clonazoepam last much longer tho. So I would assume ER Alprazolam would be very similar to Clonazoepam
 
The best first time dose for xanax is 0mg.
But seriously, I don't think you will be able to honestly tell how it feels or compare it to other benzos by using the ER version for your first time.
Sorry, but the phrase "So im trying Xanax for the first time", sends a chill down my spine, and not in a good way.
Avoid it if you possibly can.
Just my two cents.
;)
 
I would suggest doing what entho said, and going one step further and cutting that half of the 2mg XR in to another two halves, so that's 0.5mg.

0.5mg of Xanax IR is a perfect beginner's dose if you haven't built up your tolerance yet, in which case it is a large enough amount to be recreational, but low enough to actually remember the experience. :)

Take it sublingually if you want a very quick onset, but it kicks in a very short time orally, too, since it was first marketed with the idea of aborting panic attacks once they've begun, and during a panic attack, every minute counts.

Sublingual ROA onset: 5-10 minutes, ime
Oral ROA onset: 15-20 minutes, ime

Intranasal ROA is useless for Xanax, as it is not water soluble and a miniscule amount crosses through your nasal membranes, so snorting Xanax is basically a waste.

If you like to smoke weed, then you should definitely smoke a bowl on your Xanax. It'll make the high a lot more mellow and relaxing, at the cost of dulling most of the psychedelic effects of cannabis.
