ask Peep

slight relaxed feeling and an overwhelming tiredness. they have no real recreational value unless you love blacking out and not knowing what you did before you slept for 24 hours.

Or like to drug and reap

Thanks. Not going to use for recreation, but want to know the impact before I take and go do something (for example, I don't want to fall asleep during a job interview)

1mg is better for recreation with no tolerance. Unless you have an anxiety disorder it's not that euphoric or anyhting, just kind of like a cleaner alcohol buzz. You'll be relaxed, tired, probably hungry, and may make some bad decisions.

Why are you prescribed these pills

Fuck this, there’s a reason Xanax are so big in the streets, and it’s not because people love blacking out. You have to tie the line between getting really fucked up but not forgetting and taking more and more. One time I literally went through 30mg in a night and all sorts of shit I don’t even know went down. But now I just have a bar or 2 and the same a couple hours later and all’s good.

dead

don't start taking them I was on them for 3 years, they work great for getting rid of anxiety instantly but after time will make you have anxiety way worse than you did before. they will eventually stop working to get rid of anxiety and you will need them just to stop the cravings, sweats and skin crawling feeling after you try to stop.

Panic attacks after death and medical conditions of family members.

Good to know. I may take to get me though one or two tough moments (job interviews are killing me) and stop when things get stable.

It’s fine for spot treating anxiety, like if you have a job interview or a party to go to, just don’t take them every fucking day. Or if you do go at least 1 week off for every 2.

I'm 6'1" 210lb and not a novice to drugs. a single 2mg bar and there is a 100% chance that I fall asleep before I want to. I've taken xanax probably 20 or so times. Even just a half mg and I am defiantly feeling a desire to sleep. I dont understand how anyone could possibly want that feeling "let's take a bunch of this drug so we fall asleep and stay asleep for a long time and do stupid shit we dont remember".

I take one 0.5 when I'm really having a bad panic attack and it almost immediately gets me to a mental state where I can take control and breath and calm down myself. I smoke weed too after I'm calm. I only use a one hitter, one hit every few hours.

It's like eating a thousand pussies at once. youtu.be/v88Ius4EEko

can you get hooked on this stuff?

Pretty sure you can but I don't intend to.

Eat at least 1.0. my favorite is to crush it up and put it in a shot or a beer. Or go have fun and put 1.0 on a beer with a shot in it. Have fun

Yeah, if you take it every day for a couple weeks you'll get addicted. The addiction gets worse the longer you keep taking it, and eventually you risk death if you stop cold turkey. I've been lowering my dose slowly with my doctor for 6 months so I don't get seizures and withdrawals. Shit sucks man.

You won't give a fuck, but I wouldn't recommend staying on them because benzo addiction is awful

things won't get stable the xanex will make it worse, maybe in your life yeah but I would advise not taking them for a job interview because they make you emotionless and not think fast, plus make you very sleepy ...

Calm

All Benzos are highly addictive and the withdrawal can kill you

Xanax is my ball and chain man, I don't even think I get anything out of it because I'm prescribed SSRI's and shit to deal with anxiety, I just can't stop taking them

A little better.

if you have never taken xanax before you will be in heaven for an hour or two. feel like you can breathe better, perhaps feel like you can talk to certain people you where not able to before; but xanax has a low half-life and so from from about the time you start to feel until you do not feel it anymore is basically 4 hours at best.. but what did your doctor prescribe it to be taken? daily? only when you get a panic attack? either way if you start taking xanax daily, soon .5mg will not have the same effect, and you will want to get a stronger dose etc. be careful with this shit. one of the most addictive substances known to man. i have some epilepsy because of it now, was retarded a decade ago and taking 30mgs~ of that shit.. be very weary...

I take three of these a day. At night one of these, an ambien and if muscles are tight a Zanaflex. Also take two wellbutrin every morning. Get through the day just fine. The Zanaflex and xanax make me very sleepy about 20 min. in, but if I hang it passes.

try and slow down... slowly though. like going down .25mgs each time. .. .. i have some pretty shitty epilepsy which to be frank has somewhat impeded on my life goals etc... ive heard about epileptics who have jobs and houses and etc. i just dont think they are having the same ones as i am.. there are i forget how many diferent forms of that shit. i used to have grand mals, this new medicine is making me have hillaries i believe, as i like to call them. i no longer fall, blahblahblah

lexapro

You will feel fantastic. Xanax makes you feel omnipotent and doesn't stop you from functioning if you stay at that dose. Don't drink alcohol at the same time and don't up your dosage.
What are you going through that you are taking it for?
Fuck off with that bullshit. He didn't OD on Xanax. He was a fucking dope fiend and happened to have Xanax lying around that his friends didn't know about when they called it in. The cop who said that is a fucking idiot who knows nothing about LD of benzos.

Take them bro. You will be fine. After your Xanax runs out get some Ativan prescribed and you will taper off no problem. These idiots who talk about how bad it got are drug abusers who can't keep their fucking credit straight.

This is exactly what I do. Actually reduced my attacks from just knowing I had something that works on them around.

The most abuse I've used xanax for is taking an extra pill or two when struggling to get to sleep.

Does anyone think it's possible to get rid of anxiety by doing sport / physical activities, eat healthily , etc., etc. ?

Also, as anyone felt through anxiety some sort of a ‘’space out’’ feeling all the time but you feel better when it’s sundown is night time.

doing physical activity will definitely help at the very least if not rid you of the anxiety entirely.. you are not the only one who feels this way when night time comes, many of us do, i believe it is as simple as night time, how it is, and what you are supposed to do.. (eat, rest, sleep) simple and good stuff! feels like why we get that feeling at night time is from primal instincts,.. idk

Op don't fucking do this. This is why people have problems with it, because they were born a problem and should be allowed to die as quickly as they choose.
Benzos should be over the counter, I really don't care if idiots die because they misuse them.
This is bs. I've taken 0.5 for much longer than that and it still works. Don't listen to the amerifats with no self control.
Also try shrooms at some point. They will undo the effects of benzos and make you feel quite alive. For me I cry and laugh hysterically while sprinting through the woods, it's fantastic.

Duh.

french, living in france, but nice try. it might work for some. others it might not work so well, im sorry if you do not agree! ah... i see, tell someone with an anxiety disorder to take a psychedelic, makes sense. at the very least the person needs to follow the very basic steps in having an unnerving trip; set and setting, all that stuff. but you dont just tell someone to take mushrooms lol for some mushrooms can potentially up their anxiety, once again, not everyone is like you...

My dude, what about the '' space out '' feeling ?
It's my first appointment tomorrow at the Cognitive and Behavioral Psychology – CBP clinic.

My problem ... Is it anxiety or is it physical ? Confirmed no inner ear problem....

Nice, that was the case for me too. Knowing those pills are there makes me more stable by knowing if it happens I've got it under control. And I drink to sleep. If I know that my doc will give me refills regularly, I'll give that a try because I need to slow down on alcohol.

they cant he's fuckan DEAD

it can be both definitely, i dont know you personally and even on a physical level obviously, it is okay if you space out but, i would think xanax will not help your spacing out, although it might work for other stuff, like your anxiety level, etc... if after the first xanax something changes in the way you feel positively, then i say wait and see for a bit if it helps, and just relax at the clinic, those others are feeling some of the stuff you are as well

Thanks for answering. I'm 30 yd and never been sick in my life before. I just don't want to get on medication, it's like a never-ending story. But hey, I guess I will find out sooner or later. Thanks

no problem, you will see anyways, but if you have GAD anxiety this might actually help quiet a bit!

You'll feel a lil peep

I mean obviously he should digest his current situation for awhile before tripping, but yes feeling his raw feelings at some point will be healthy. There are no bad trips, there are just bad feelings which should be addressed before you become consumed with yourself. Benzos help stop feelings, but every now and then we need to feel. Shrooms make me feel human again.

Weed could replace most os these meds. It also wouldn't take sucha huge toll on the mind and body.

oh no doubt. also if they are taking xanax during the trip or just before it will not have the same effect at all as without xanax, the person might have to be watched over quiet thoroughly to make sure they do not injure themselves in any way!

Well, let me ask you the following.

GAD anxiety felt like what ? I know it can be difficult to answer and too much to write but just quickly . Can you work ? Are you at home all the time on welfare ?

Fuck off with that sensationalist bullshit. He was a fucking junkie on oxy or heroin and I'm glad he's dead.

xanax is shit just makes u tired....dont understand the appeal

the guy was a hero, he is a role model to be looked up to. it's a shame God decided to take him back but I'm glad he's in a better place

Using xanax for sleep consistently might end up being worse than alcohol.

There are more sleep specific meds that can be had, but I have enough extras of xanax that I can take them every so often.

Honestly marijuana that is heavy indica is the best sleep aid i've taken. I just don't always have it around, which reminds me I should get some tomorrow.

I've never wanted to hurt myself while tripping and I used to want to hurt myself when I was sober or vaping bud. Everyone is different though, I suppose. So them with your best friend on a beautiful day.

oh GAD stands for generalized anxiety disorder, it has a spectrum of types of anxiety, makes it is easier to keep track of, but i used to have some pretty bad anxiety after quiting xanax, couldn't talk to people the same and become shy; a couple of years later i am starting to do a lot better id like to think, but shit fuck xanax if you can't control your cravings, it will tear you a new one..

Hero how? By abusing opioids after getting rich?
there is no God. Peep is just decomposing slowly under the ground.
This is true actually, bud used to make me sleep very well.

their have been a few suicides on them, but the chances of someone killing themselves on such a beautiful moment of time, are like.. .5% ? maybe lower? idk.. maybe not hurt themselves but walk around without a care, into things etc, or believe they can do things like FLY etc.. lol, that would be a lot of shrooms though to believe you can fly

I miss peep aswell user :(

Ya that's bs though,I've taken twice the max recommended shrooms and didn't think anything ridiculous like that. I just cried really hard and realized what a piece of shit I was. I confessed to my friend about many of the terrible things I did.

damn that is a lot lol i think i would FREEEEAAAAKKKK out... most ive taken was like 3.5g ? of dried ones

Not the same user but it sounds like you needed that. Truth is pain is good and we need it to do whats right. Me personally i haven't ever had a bad trip but from what i know its something that one needs to experience. Its helpful in the end.

Like a pussy

Oh and to add ive gone deep on shrooms. Took 15 grams all at once at the end of September, shit was amazing. All the planes in the air looked like b2 stealth bombers.

Jesus I feel for you user. Again thanks for answering my questions ( I have so many) But the fact that the matter is, I just don't think I have anxiety. I got very stressed because og my '' space out '' feeling all the time that I started to check google and it seems like it's retaliated to anxiety or inner ear problem. My throat started to feel tight and I know it's clearly anxiety and I feel tired most of the time.
I don't have issues talking to people and nothing really get me anxious beside taking the plane... I just don't know man. Thanks again.

nice trips. i get anxiety while in the plane as well... i recall those good days when i would fly in between the usa and france, i was so fucked up off of that stuff i would smoke cigarettes in the bathroom... and so how much in a day do you get this feeling again?

I mean ya I cried pretty hard. First we were laughing and talking about how great it is to be alive, then I remembered her and everything I did. All the people I've hurt... That look in the eyes of those that love you when they begin to fear you and not relate. The horror... Memories of corpses, clutching a gun, becoming violentized. It's unreal how fast we can turn into monsters.
Ya I did need it. Taking any less was just a party to me, not actually helping me develop my self awareness.
now I'm just trying to better myself and help others.
You're a pussy. Op will feel much better.

First time I try this recreationally and apparently I accidentally kept taking more and more until I blacked out and took 15mg over a few hours. Not cool tbh but lesson learned.

That's the thing, I smoke Indica as soon as I wake up because sativas give me more anxiety. And yeah your right, xanax for sleep isn't a good idea. Tbh I only drink 3-4 tall cans a night so I guess it's not too bad relative to some alcoholics. And I still have nights without alcohol and I end up sleeping 4-6hrs.

My '' space out '' feeling is constant. It's a feeling of slight dizziness that declined at night. Is it related to anxiety ? Like how many physical symptom anxiety could trigger ?

Good for you user, its nice to see someone who's about putting positivity out there.

Trippy benzo guy here
No idea why you feel spaced out. Probably should talk to your doctor about it. Sounds like you need coffee or amphetamines (Adderall), the opposite of Xanax. I never space out.

i understand that... we can all become monsters, that is the scary part.... im glad you are doing well though. you need to put your story out there maybe! help others get informed!

Thanks for answering me, my dude.
Well I see A specialist in ENT. For now, It's nothing related to inner ear problem.

I might check for Adderall ... Don't know what this is.

Ya man I'm all about the love. I just want to make this world a better place. My life has been so great and I'm so fucking fortunate to be alive. I almost died many times. My friends and family are about as good as I could reasonably ask for and they have been there for me when I was at my worst. My ex tried to be there for me, but I was too caught up in myself. I'm glad she got away and I hope she is happy and safe. I love each and every one of you. I will do my best to make your lives better in ways that I can't describe without impeding my ability to do so.

I ate 10+ grams of goomies one time and I was fucking lit like a Christmas tree haha. I was also rolling of good MDMA too so I think it helped me not get so glued off the mushies ya know. I've only had shitty time on mushrooms when I drink heavy with them. I end up crying alot and reflecting on everything wrong with my life, my failing health and relationships.... Be safe out there with psychs bois

Ya it takes a short time to lose sight of what is right and wrong. I thought I was the hero, but turned into the villain.

My best friends and family saved my life.
Also when I say I almost died I don't mean with drugs, I've never abused drugs. I almost crashed a car by falling asleep behind the wheel after staying up for a day straight after a stressful day of work, plus many violent encounters in years before that..

Here's to new beginnings and loving everyone. We can fix our problems, it starts with loving our enemies and loving ourselves.

right on. couldn't of said it better. i did a triple barrell roll with 3 friends in my suv, one on the ground, one in mid air, and one more back on the ground, to end up with the car back on its wheels and everybody ok... i was very fucked off of benzos (xanax) at that time i am sure..

you obviously dont suffer from anxiety
its an anti anxiety medication

if worrying about things stops you from doing them xanax will make you feel like you can do anything and that feeling is very nice

Well... fox, don't do a barrel roll. Don't abuse anything. I hope you learned your lesson and I'm glad everyone survived.

i did but several years later when i started getting epilepsy! i dont even drive anymore..

xanax will affect ur cock during sex in the future it's affects sexual urges and may fuck up ur horn level. Don't take that crap

Damn I'm sorry to hear you got epilepsy. That's rough. Keep on keeping on though man, autonomous cars are around the corner and I'm betting your cure for epilepsy is too.

This isn't true. I've actually masturbated in my sleep while on Xanax. I took benzos before my ex and quit them no problem. Then I became a sex addict and her favorite thing about me was my sexual performance. So ya you're wrong on that one, champ. Stop fear mongering.

thanks brother, yeah that would be nice... i have one or two every couple of months, but after about 30-45 days i start to feel a lot more social, but especially more capable.. for a week or so after i have an epilepsy i am not the best at some things

SURE horny now wait 5 more years RIP

I'm not going to take them for five years. I was with my ex for over five years. What you're saying is completely unfactual. Do you smoke cigarettes or do any other stimulants? Do you drink? Those things contribute more to erectile problems than benzos. I'm a Toxicologist who has done the research on benzos physiological effects at my university. Quit spreading myths.

Erection problems, with possiblepriapism,libidoloss, and delayed or noejaculationin men and noorgasmin women. Xanax. Delayed or noejaculationin men, noorgasmin women, with possiblelibidoloss. Many drugs used to treatseizuresandconvulsionscausesex problems. (Your sex life will end soon read and experience).

Anyways I'm going to bed.

Love you all.

Don't listen to bullshit fear mongers. Be responsible. Respect every substance and every person. Life will be great if you have a good attitude.

Ya none of that happened. I wish I was less horny. Goodnight.

I agree there is a high recreational value, your dumb as shit if you think otherwise, also extremely habit forming, if you take it every day talk to your Dr before stopping or you will likely have seizors

This, I'm using Deanxit tho

Fuck these things user I wish I never started taking them, hard as fuck to quit!

thanks bro you too

Go smoke some toad in mexico skip 15 years of drugs
