Hey bluelighters, new here.

The names RF, and im no rookie at exp. drugs and substances, such as MDMA, DXM, very extensive mariujana knowledge, shrooms, coke and of recent beznos, soley alprazolam.

I wanted to post a quick Q, as I know everyones exp. is diff. compared to their environment and tolerance, etc. I smoke high grade CA bud daily(MMJ patient), and RARLEY do anything else.

Approx. 4-6mo. ago, my gf has been getting 2mg bars of xanax off friends/dealers. She used to have a script for it. Somas too from time to time..

But now I feel that I dont care much for it per se, as im i dont get giddy when bars are coming or, take too many daily. Or care when we run out. When we run out, there isnt shit we can do, nor do I exp. any WD's or anything noticable, besides always being an insomniac.

So I suppose my Q is 2-3mg, 3x a week or so with tolerance slowly building. Half bar messed me up once, but I just woke up and popped a bar and just feel ok, not like im searching to be obliderated, just feel cool.

Should I just cool it for a while? Smoking bud is just fine, but half a bar doesnt really do shit, im just severely trying to avoid any possible addiction in the future.

Thanks for the time guys!

My rules for alprazolam (xanax) have always been:
1. If you're over 2 bars (4mg) to buzz, don't do it anymore
2. Don't do alprazolam for over 3 days in a row

Abide by these rules and truthfully you should be fine. 2-3mg 3 times a week may build slight tolerance but I would find it hard to believe that it could truly cause withdrawal or a hefty tolerance unless you spread that 6-9mg over the entire week like a prescription or something.

I rarely do xanax, but when I do it definitely takes around 2.5mg for me to feel anything worth my time unless I'm smoking marijuana or drinking in small amounts, so don't fret over the inefficiency of a half a bar for you.

Still, I'm jealous of the thought of high grade CA bud and alprazolam :)
 
I used to get some pretty decent effects from 1mg of Alprazolam. I don't know where along the line my tolerance built up but it did, I never had an addiction or anything like that the effects just seemed to decrease as I used it.

Take a month or so break, it should clear it up.
 
When I had no tolerance, 1mg would usually work pretty well. Unfortunately, alprazolam tolerance seems to go up pretty quickly for me.

To OP, your tolerance will build, and at your rate of consumption it will take awhile before you experience physical dependency issues. Still, if you dont need it for any medicinal purpose, it wouldnt hurt to quit for a few weeks. Plus, your tolerance will go down(which is always a good thing).

I've taken benzos for extended periods of time without any dependency issues, but I also find them to have little recreational value so quitting is never an issue.
 
If you are asking if there could be a problem then the answer is probably yes.

Thats one rule...

But 2 to 3mg's per day, three days per week does not sound bad to me at all........

......However if you are starting to not notice any effects, especially at 2mg's, like you are expecting, then I think its time to stop for awhile, before you cant.
