why does xanax not work for me?

i just took 0.5mg and i have 0 tolerance. is 0.5mg just a really low dose?

maybe have a beer or a shot to bring it out? but yeah pretty low dose even for no tolerance

>>17049 i did 1mg and a beer yesterday and didn't feel much

>>17050 do you ever feel tense for days on end, doses that low tends to have an effect on stressed people but 0.5 wouldnt touch a severe case of stress or insomnia. i would probably either take more and hide the rest or save them for a comedown or other use.

>>17051 i mean things like being afraid of taking the public bus or going to a crowded gym

wait a few days then take a bar and see how many drinks it takes you to get wasted. I'd bet you anything it'll be way less than normal.

In my opinion, benzos are stupid drugs to abuse. They don't cause any other positive effects except that they temporarily get rid of your anxiety. Also, it's important to be careful with benzos because usually you don't realize how much they affect you and your behavior (but others do see it, though!). Benzos make you basically drunk but at higher doses you become even more stupid. As medication, Xanax is not that good except for panic attacks and similar. Xanax starts acting fast but it also stops acting fast. In my opinion, the better options are Clonazepam, Diazepam or Lorazepam. (es)Zopiclone is great for insomnia.

>>17054 how many benzos have you tried? i have only done about 2 of them and yes i liked being in that little bubble of not caring but they dont really seem moreish to me at all. ive heard things like temazapam (or old school jellies) and nitrazapam are euphoria heavy compared to the rest

>>17054 Also it's not obvious at first how long they affect you. Especially with long acting ones like clonazepam, you have to be clean for a month or more to realize all along, even when you didn't take it for weeks, you were mentally castrated by the drug. With clonazepam, there's no such thing as being high for a day. It starts at 3 days. Even though it doesn't feel like it, your life choices and the reports of others will tell that your 2nd and 3rd day was also intoxicated. Alprazolam is shorter but still affects people much longer than it feels like.

>>17053 >>17054 >>17056 >>17057 i have tried both xanax and clonazepam and neither have helped me. i have found ritalin helps me most. i want to get over the fear of going out and doing things in crowded places. i also feel like i can't enjoy my day unless i am done with everything. like if i have a lunch at 1pm i won't enjoy my day unless im done with that.

>>17061 > i also feel like i can't enjoy my day unless i am done with everything. like if i have a lunch at 1pm i won't enjoy my day unless im done with that. bro are you me? did i type this post? but seriously i get you there. i unfortuately have no useful advice other than to push through it using your d.o.c's, sorry i'm a dull guy an all. how do you respond to cannabinoids? i find some of those help a lot, particularly sensibly dosed edibles and a source of caffiene (maybe a bit similar how ritalin helps you) but the tolerance is a big issue for me so im often left with subpar results two or so days at a time.
