very coooool!

Has anyone had any experiences with this pill that is said to be like valium only taken at smaller doses? I have jsut got a hold of soem for the second time, the first time I did it in combo with dxm with amazingly strong results but never tried it alone. Can anyone enlighten my on this pill?

Oh and would snorting it help or hurt the effects? Because I rather snort pills but don't want to if its a waste. There is so little info on this drug being used recreationally even erowid hasVERY little info.

I am perscribed 301mg tabs a months. I take em almost everyday. New users should be careful with the ammount they take, you take too much you'll past out and not have fun with it. People have told me it makes you feel drunk. But I think it just makes me calm and relaxed.

I love xanax. It cures what ails ya. Got a headache? Xanax. Got a stomach ache? Xanax. Got cramps? xanax.

For me, it is the wonder drug. I am predominately manic, and it is the only thing that helps take the edge off. The euphoric feel is an added perk. Ive been taking this for years, so my dosage is pretty insane to get buzzed, but It really is awsome. Very very addicting tho, so be careful.

<blockquote> I'm looking for some info on recreational Xanax use, seeing as how I'm considering getting some. Just wondering how it feels and how long it lasts. I've done Klonopins before...is it anything like that at all?<hr></blockquote><hr>

Unless you're ready to go into the hospital for two weeks to be withdrawn from it, consider another recreational drug. Once your tolerance builds & you're taking massive doses (almost always happens), you really need to be in the hospital & under a doctor's care so you won't die when you quit. Seriously... think twice.

As far as comparing to Klonopin, it's a much better high. Klonopin really doesn't give much of a high, Xanax will give you a very pronounced high, especially at higher doses. To me it's like a silly, carefree alcohol drunk, but without the dizziness, nausea or other nasty effects of alcohol.

I just got a Xanax bar from a friend and was wondering what the difference was between them and other xanax.

I just took a whole one and had a beer.

feeling pretty nice right now.

was that wrong to do on my first time?http://www.drugs-forum.co.uk/forum/smileys/smiley24.gif

10-11-2004, 10:29

xanax: the bars are 2mg, other doses are 0.25, 0.5 and 1mg
so yeah, a bar and a beer will make you feel pretty good

Ok, Usually for partying I'd jus get beligerent with booze and smoke alot of weed. However, big party coming up and there's gonna be some factors that prolly will make me a lil anxious, What would be the perfect thing to take to mellow me down and chill me out? Xanax?

So you wanna chill out...

You can go for some benzodiazepines(sp?) for anti-anxiety such as
valium, xanax et cetera. These might be hard to get though(at
least in SWIM's experience) but they definetly work. Goes great
with weed but watch out with the alcohol.

Vicodin and other opiates are also great for chillin out, same deal with weed(yes) and alcohol(no).

Generally a good amount of alcohol and maybe a little weed will give
you more and chill you out as much as you could ever need IMO.

BlueMystic

A benzo or an opiate would do well to "chill" you out ant take away the anxiety. Preferably a benzo.

If this thing that will make you anxious at this party is someone that are attracted to. Then make sure that you don't drink with the benzo/opiate. Especially if you want to make a good impression and possibly impress him/her. If you are a guy and you drink then more than likely you will make a fool out of yourself and look like a fool if you drink on it. If you are a girl. Then you take the chance of opening yourself up to being taken advantage of, or giving it up too quickly and seeming as if you are easy. Therefore the guy losing respect for you quickly. If an attraction to someone that will be at the party is not the case. Then just disregard the past paragraph.

Smoking herb with the opiate or benzo should be ok.Just start off with a few tokes. Take a little break to see how the smoke affects you. Then smoke some more if you wish to. If you want to make a good impression on someone, and you dont know how the combo will affect you. Then weigh out what's more important to you. Positively making a good impression, or catching a buzz and taking a chance in whether you will react positively. Remember. Some people experience anxiety from smoking herb.

Either way. Good luck with your party and I hope it all (whatever that may be) works out for ya.

i consider myself a benzo-master of sorts, i love the stuff. If you plan on drinking a lot shy from a high dose for just anti-anxiety merely 1mg klonopin would do the trick fine and you prob wouldnt even feel the "high" u get from like a much higher dose.

if u dont plan on drinkin i recomend having a good time, get yourself some xanax (2-4mg for someone new) and even better if you ur not gonna drink but dont wanna feel too tired take ativan ( 3-5 mg) but u wont get any real high from ativan it just works for anxiety.... but your safest bet is klonopin, it has a long half live, great for anxiety, not too tiring, pretty fast acting especially if you chew it, if you want a mild high go for 4mg, more intense 6mg, and if you arent afraid of doing some sleeping go ahead have some fun up the dose.

btw all benzo snort ok, they arent absorbed as well as orally so i recomend you either chew or wait and just take oral, oral gives you the best effect and longest lasting

Whats a good dose to take for Xanax all by itself on an empty stomach?

jesusfreak666er

17-07-2005, 08:53

if ur a first timer.... with no benzo tolerance... and plan on taking no alc take 2mg see how u feel, then add more if neccessary, dont worry as long as u dont mix it with alc u wont injure urself at low doses, just maybe fall asleep (lol)

Mike177

17-07-2005, 08:56

I would say 2-4mg. 3mg is probly a good bet if you don't have a tolerance. If you take too much you will probly end up going to sleep, and you wont get a chance to enjoy it. everyone has diffrent natural tolerances to drugs, do there is no definate awnser. If you want to play on the safe side take 2mg, wait an hour, and redose 1mg if needed. The first few time SWIM did xanax he just passed out and did remember it.

Good luck,
Mike

i just started doin it three days ago the first day i did 1.25 mg the
second i did .50 and third i did .50 so 3mg is the reccomended dose?

picpic

18-07-2005, 18:48

1 mg is more than enough for a non-tolerant person, 2mgs will probably send you to sleep.

als5555

19-07-2005, 07:19

2mg sounds good for a zero tollerance person, and a little hint, if you feel yourself falling asleepjust have some coffee or other form of caffiene. it helps, but for some people it can lessen the feel from what i've heard. still better than falling asleep though. good luck, i hope you enjoy yourslf.http://www.drugs-forum.co.uk/forum/smileys/smiley12.gif Edited by: als5555

I can easily take 4-5 mg and feel a bit of loss of co-ordination.

But that's it. Don't feel better, happier or more relaxed.

Can stay awake no prob.

If I go to bed - yes I fall asleep fast. But it's not like they put me out.

Puzzled.

daveman

24-07-2005, 21:15

id say take about 1mg, i took 1 and i fell asleep soooo fast, but then
again i was pretty drunk when i did it so i guess that might have
something to do it with, i also took it up my nose. its the best way to
do stuffhttp://www.drugs-forum.co.uk/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif

25-07-2005, 01:36

yea i took 2mg as a beginner and took like 1 shot of alcohol..passed out before i knew what hit mehttp://www.drugs-forum.co.uk/forum/smileys/smiley11.gif

26-07-2005, 14:27

I dont know, but for me xanax alone without any alcohol
doesnt do much for my coordination skills or anything like that- its
not like being drunk. it was the first couple times, now i can
take like 10 mg and still be able to act completely normal (with a lot
more confidence, that is). Now, if i were to take 4 or 6
milligrams with some alcohol, i will be retarded drooling over myself
not able to walk or talk or anything - alcohol makes the effect MUCH
stronger. And it doesnt make u nod like opiates, but when ur head
hits that pillow u are out like a light. and VERY hard to wake up
i might add.

P.S. - this is not recommended, i naturally have a high tolerance to
drugs, and there was a 2 month period where i was doing like 10 or more
mgs a day. i quit for a few weeks, now i do it once or twice a
month, but it still seems to need the same amout to get me where i need
to go- this is kinda weird, huh?

I dont see the high in it. My brother used to be a cocaine addict and to come down he said he would take like 25mg or maybe it was 25 pills. Anyway, I take 10mg during the day and I still fall asleep if Im not trying to stay awake, when my dose was upped by my doc to 10mg instead of 6, the first 4 days I was sleeping most of the days, I would sit down on the couch turn on the tv and immediately fall asleep, I would get in front of the computer to play a game, and fall asleep, once I fell asleep in my car with the motor running, fortunately I hadnt hit the remote to close the garage door yet.

It can impair your coordination quite severely if your not use to it, the first time I took it unprescribed, just a friend giving me one, I found that I was barely walking for about 12 hours, just shuffling along all day.

Now I could probably in crease my dose to 16mg/day and after a few days be fine to drive.

Dont xanax and drive!

not sure what these pills are considered but just got some and are looking for what they're like, ways to use, how much to take?

Xanax, aka alprazolam, a short acting benzo, if you have no idea or benzo tolerance, start low and do not mix with alcohol.

FemFoison

24-08-2005, 03:25

i'm so glad i'm not the only person with a ridiculously high tolerance for xanax. don't get me wrong, i love the drug, but when i need to sleep i will easily get up to 15mg, sometimes as high as 23 or 25mg. during the day i can pop them every hour and stay mellow, without getting the hazy-drowsy brain i get with the "right" amount.

since we're on topic - i did a lot of research on the risk of overdosing on xanax, and i've seen it printed as low as 10 or 12 mg. when mixed with alcohol. now, i know it's unhealthy but i ALWAYS mix my xanax with at least a few beers, so for someone with a really high tolerance - what dosage/combo is genuinely dangerous and what is borderline? any thoughts?Edited by: FemFoison

.5-1mg is a good recreational dose for xanax, any more (without tollerance) and your pretty sure to drop. ive found tollerance builds up pretty quick and they are pretty addictive.

Ive only seen themas small pink oval shaped pills which are 1mg and white bars about 5mm longthat are 2mg and can be split into 4.

Thefirst time i took xanax i took a 2mg bar on an empty stomach. The high was very nice and everything was really pleasant. I was a bit uncordinated while i was on it but it wasnt bad, it waskinda similar to being drunk.

I have a question though. Does the tolerance for xanax build up pretty quick or will it take a while before I need to take more?

I have a question though. Does the tolerance for xanax build up pretty quick or will it take a while before I need to take more?

SWIM noticed that it took less that 2 weeks at a daily dosage of 2 mg
for the effects of Xanax to greatly diminish. In addition, Xanax has
the nastiest withdrawal of all benzos. But you have to keep in mind
that every individual has its own unique biological tendencies towards
psychoactive substances. In other words, you have to find out for
yourself the amount of time that your body needs to build its tolerance
to Xanax. Be careful with benzos because the withdrawal of opiates is
like a walk in the park when compared to the withdrawal of benzos. SWIM
uses opiates very often but never used benzos again after experiencing
their withdrawal symptoms.http://www.drugs-forum.co.uk/forum/smileys/smiley11.gif

I have a natural High Tolerance too and it pisses me off. My doctor doesn't beleive me and won't raise my dosagehttp://www.drugs-forum.co.uk/forum/smileys/smiley7.gif.
My dosage is 1mg three times a day. I end up taking all 3 at once and
that barely does anything. It pisses me off how my freinds can get
fucked up on 1mg and I cant really even feel it at 3mg. I'm gonna see
if drinking grapefruit juice helps it be more effective.

1mg. SWIL can always take more but not less.

13-04-2006, 17:55

swim isnt sure bout 2mg? when swim first used he tried 2mg and had no memory of the night (and it was the onky drug besides nicoteen in his system) id say always start low and build up (and it will build up) swim went from blacking out at 2mg to 30 mg a day. take it slow there will always be more pills to take but some thing you may not be able to take back when you black out.

Forthesevenlakes

13-04-2006, 20:43

swim also has no memory of his first xanax experience (and swim did not drink that night), with only taking 2 mg. perhaps swiy should begin with 1 mg, and then if swiy feels no onset an hour or so later, add another .5 or 1 mg. jduba is right, you can always build up, but you cant build down. maybe hide the alcohol or other pills too, sometimes people do stupid things on xanax like re-dose or start drinking, which seems perfectly logical at the time, but can be really harmful.

vacant

16-04-2006, 04:31

To SWIM, 2mg is a bit high. If SWIY wants any memory of the night, perhaps try 1mg, or even less. One can always take more and increase the dose if it's not enough, but can never 'untake' what they've taken. SWIM wouldn't necessarily try for a mind-blowing experience the first time, it's much safer to first get a feel for the substance. No memory (especially on a first time) can be rather an unnerving experience.

SWIM, after cutting down a large tolerance (20mg for an effect), is quite pleasant at the moment at 4mg, with some tolerance left. Keep in mind that SWIM has had a lot of experience. If SWIY is unfamiliar with the substance, do more research, and start low. Starting low is better than starting, and ending, unconscious with no recollection of the night's events.
And please take special note of forthesevenlakes advice. Hide the booze, pills, anything that can produce stupid results. Xanax has this way of lowering you inhibitions to the point where you do all sorts of really stupid things (boy, have I got stories).

There's this thing with it, that you always feel like you need more. It can take awhile to fully kick in, according to SWIM, so you feel the need for more. Resist the urge, or even have a sitter, or more sober person to chill with. They could prevent you from doing something extremely stupid (or laugh as you do).

So for SWIY's first dose? Try 1mg. Perhaps you'll get a nice chill effect, or a bit more. Everybody is different in dealing with this type of stuff. If it doesn't work as well as you would've like...try again another day. Do NOT try to add more for your first time. The Xanax will make you think that you can take more safely...but it's a crapshoot, really. Try again a week later.
You really don't want to wake up 12 hours later having passed out at the computer desk..pills scattered all around, everything a mess. SWIM says it's very scary, since she took over 12mg with minimal tolerance.

So that's SWIM's slightly inebriated 2 cents, though it may be repetitive.

--This post applies to everyone looking for their first xanax time, since it seems too late for this poster.

start with 0.5 mg, go from there . I'm pretty sure you wont get alot further then 1mg though.
Swim has gone through 40 0.5mg pills over the last 2 months, using it at least once a week on avg. Anything more then 1mg means sleep within 10 minutes and waking up feeling quite drowsy. 1 mg is a nice dose for swim though and mixing it with some weed is a VERY relaxing and uplifting combo and waking up the next day feels alot smoother then with 1.5mg.
Swims never felt the need to take more then 1.5mg

23-04-2006, 23:21

swim had to eat at least 6 mgs to get good effects in the beginning, while his friends needed only 1-2 mgs. start low,
but expect the "need" for more.

My lab monkey found that 2mg was the sweet-spot even though he's a small fella. 1mg didn't do much to him and any more than 3 would induce the same almost blissful time when meditating to sleep but with increased groggyness upon waking.

16-05-2006, 22:27

Probably not saying anything new here but be patient after taking the first dose, first time I tried xanax I was convinced nothing was happeneing (whether this was cos of the drug or cos I'm impatient is up for debate) so took more, then more again and ended up all over the place that night and the next day, which wasn't great.

swim jus took another one so thats a total of 5 and still doesnt feell anything

SWIY would be expected to feel something from 2.5mg of Xanax. That's an unusual response.

Putting aside for the moment that it's not working for SWIY...why did SWIY wait until after they took the pills to ask or research what might be an appropriate dose for a new drug? What if SWIY accidentally had taken too much?

Although it was stupid to take a drug without knowing your dose first, it seems you've been given a hard enough time, just be more careful next time.

But back to your question, 2.5mg of xanax should have given you a great experience as long as you can stay awake. SWIM enjoys 1mg/50lbs, with no tolerance, for the best experience. And 2.5mg is about that for you. Are you sure they were really xanax?

Wraith

07-07-2006, 21:43

well swim had did some research after posting this thread and figured it would be ok. swim was told that taking five of th .5 xanax only equaled to .25 of xanax. how are ya'll getting 2.5 mg? also after the 5th one swim passed out 20 minutes later and woke up about 11 hours later having no recollection of last night such as what he ate or watched on tv. Also when swim woke up, he was walking to the bathroom and blacked out and woke up about 5 seconds later on the kirchen floor with a terrible back ache. I guess swim didn't stay awake long enough to feel the effects lol
