Don't really take any pills, but I enjoy xanax on occassion. Haven't taken them in probably 4 months, and just took a yellow r039 2mg, 1 hour in and i really only feel like I took .5 maybe that. I felt my dab more than my xanax (heavy heavy daily dabber) which shouldn't happen. Any insight?
 
Not much to say really, various on many factors, stomach content being the most prominent if you're not benzo naive.

Did you swallow it or take it sub lingual etc...?
 
How much do you usually do? Taking more often just causes increased sedation and lethargy. If you don't have anxiety or aren't on edge, then sometimes that is all you get from xanax, no matter how much you take. Eventually it will just make you very tired. And I had no idea what "dab" was prior to googling it, apparently a hash oil, so basically like smoking MJ. I can say for sure that smoking a couple hits of good weed will out power 2 mg of alprazolam anyday.

Long story short: it seems you are probably expecting more out of the xanax than it provides.
 
i was doing 4mg of xanax for 2 years and had seizures stopping cold turkey. i feel i was a junkie to it. i stopped ALL benzo use for 4 years, not even valerian root or health foods. i took a blue football(edit:4 years later) figuring id be comatoast and my tolerance was right where i left it. i realize at this point, it wasnt my tolerance that wasnt permanent, but the relief i expected. now i just need them. rock and a hard place : \
 
Benzos, which xanax is, are very euphoric, they are extremely subtle drugs. Sure they can get you fucked up, drowsy, stumbling, slurring words etc etc, but you cant take them any expect to feel "Great".... unless you are a sufferer of anxiety disorders or panic attacks, in which case they do wonders!

Just make sure you dont take any more, because like I said, they are subtle especially to "normal" people without significant anxiety or panic problems. Let it sink in, and enjoy your night man. Also, try not to drink alcohol, they synergize very well and can lead to blackouts and other problems.
 
I have never really seen benzodiazepines as euphoric. They are fantastic for killing anxiety and insomnia, but they are not euphoric in any way. Taking more and more will only produce an extremely sedated, intoxicated feeling. A lot of people just end up passing out.

Also binging on benzodiazepines, (which I am not saying you are doing) is just not worth the time or money. It is dangerous and in my opinion, pointless. All it does is make the person act like an intoxicated fool, and raises tolerance to tranquilizers significantly. It can even produce rebound anxiety and or insomnia.

I would save xanax for a comedown or maybe smoke some cannabis and relax. But popping more is pointless.

Just my 2 cents.
 
Tolerance? Dabs are also pretty powerful so if you felt the dab more then that isn't surprising even if you were benzo naïve. But I found benzos really nice on weed highs since weed can bring up some unpleasant anxiety and paranoia.
