how often do you think it's safe to do xanax?

i mean, without getting addicted?

personally, i do it every four or five days or more, but i'm interested in all your opinions.

 

this might actually be better suited for the pharms forum, i guess.

 

i do it 10 to 12 days a month that leaves 18 to 20days to clean up--if i did it as prescribed id be addicted they want you to do it daily and thats how u get addicted and go thruogh WDs and bad shit like that---i get a little rebound insomnia from my theory though stay awake for a couple days when i stop but its not too bad

 

do you get high on it or take it for anxiet but not as perscribed?

 

stop taking it when you are popping 84 of them at a time

 

i'd stop way before you got to 84.
every 4-5 days isn't bad. just dont close the gap any further

 

also, i go really long periods, like 4-6 months, without getting more when they run out, so that's helpful.

 

i take em to get high but had to claim anxiety for 7 months b4 i got em-started on trazadone--then knolopin then xanax--might switch back to kpin cas i think it lasts longer and builds up in your system so i can stay high for days at a time instead of like 4-6 hrs on xanax---this is me a druggie u dont need to copy or try to change me im ok-ps ive been doing downers scince the lude and barb days--but i always run out b4 i can get addicted---that doesnt mean im not an asshole on em--cas i am--just ask anyone--lol

 

pardon my sarcasm

OP: be very careful the difference between the person that takes benzos (and any other addictive substance) recreationally and the habitual drug addict is a thin line and is not exactly clear or the same for every person

my cousin was addicted to xanax and quickly spiraled downwards, with no intervention as none of his friends or family realized there was a problem. he ended up taking a massive amount at a time and before his death he had taken 84 of them - an amount that would kill a person easily - and jumped off of the Liberty Memorial

my point in sharing is that you can't be so sure about how much is "okay" to take and you can't ask other people for a magic number - you have to be in tune, you should have people know what you are doing, and you should make sure you have friends that won't let you fall down the wrong path. you must also be careful as these substance alter the natural balance in your head and you will probably change with prolonged use

 

^i know about the risks and effects of taking drugs before i do them, and try to be as informed and respectful of substances as possible. and i'm not really asking advice, i do it the amount i feel comfortable with, i was just curious about other recreational benzo users.

 

I'd say once a week.

 

ah... just took a nice dose of the thread's subject. feels goooood

 

Just stop while your ahead. Pills are never good in the long run.

 

why not?

 

I took extreme amounts of xanax everyday, for months on end, and I never became physically addicted. That's not the case for most people though. Even though I wasn't physically addicted, I was still psychologically addicted. I even got so bad off that I ended up eating 74 bars(148mg) over the course of a few hours. lol I'm a dumbass though:tongue:

It really depends on the person though, and their own particular body chemistry.

 

just remember this.. a benzo addiction is and can be far more fatal than a heroin addiction

 

really?

 

well you can function a lot more easily on xanax than you can with heroin - and in an impaired mind you might do a lot of stupid ass shit, too...

this shit seems to have more negatives in my perception than positives...

i stick to shit from the earth for now

 

ya rly


@purp.. i've never blacked out from any opiate.. nodded out and burned myself with a cig.. but never blacked out and done stupid shit like benzos often cause

 

what im sayin is opiates leave you very sluggish and most people aren't gonna be able to drive a car around with a stomach full of any sort of opiate pill, certainly not heroin

xanax it is very much a possibility
