Years ago, I was prescribed xanax. I took it daily for about five months. I knew nothing about them and prescription pills are really the only drugs I just never got into. Or at least the last thing I would do recreationally. I was opiate naive then and opiate naive now but when I first started taking them I felt no different. They did not give me a high and did not help with my anxiety. After five months of taking them, I quit cold turkey. I hear you're supposed to get a really bad withdrawal when you stop taking them but that never happened to me. My boyfriend loves downers and opiates. He's given me xanax (recreationally), oxycontin, methadone and I even tried heroin once before. Nothing ever got me high. When I did heroin that one time, I did 3 packs which I hear is a lot for a first time user and it supposedly was good. Did nothing. I was just nodding out but that didn't feel pleasurable. I think I'll just stick to psychedelics and stimulants and stay away from opiates/downers.
