Overdose - Did swim overdose? Alprazolam

[trumpda]

I am a pathologic liar so what I'm saying may or may not be the truth, it is unknown.

Well yesterday i finally obtained xanax and bought 4 bars, 2mg each. So, i took 2/3s of a bar and then after 30 min didnt feel anything, so then i took the last third of it. A little bit later i felt my coordination a little but i thought it wasnt enough. So, i took another another bar but split it with my friend. After that i started to feel it a little bit more but i felt it could be stronger so i took another 2/3srds and gave the last 3 to the same friend. I went home watched tv and passed out. My roomate woke me like and 1 hour thinking i was dead. I said no i was just fucked up. Then, for some reason i felt the need to parachute a bar. So i did that and was not able to stand so i just passed the fuck out. Now, Im 5'7, 168 lbs and took 6.2 mgs. Do you think i overdosed?

First off, read the rules and don't self incriminate yourself.
Anyway, technically yes, you "overdosed" I guess (you took more than the prescribed dose)
Not enough to die.. just pass out. Not sure how that really coulda been fun at all, taking that much xanax will just knock you out for a while. Next time just take a low dose and wait longer, don't worry so much about how messed up you'll get from it.. just enjoy yourself.
Benzos aren't really anything to get "high" off of. For some people they feel really good, mainly because of the anxiety relief. They aren't like opiates in the euphoric sense, so don't try to squeeze lemonade out of an orange, you just won't get it.
Use benzos for what they are for, seems to me to be a waste taking that much.
Be safe and be smart.

Benzodiazepines have an incredibly high therapeutic index. I find it highly unlikely that this was a toxic overdose. However, in another sense, (as the member preceding me mentioned), it could be considered in overdose that SWIY administered more than the recommended dose for therapeutic benefit.
