Oral use - Xanax (Alprazolam): Recreational Use?

[DrMuffy]

well has SWIY taken any benzodiazepines lately? Just because SWIY has a high tolerance for pills doesn't mean he has a high tolerance to benzos. Anyways a normal receational dose (for someone with NO tolerance) ould be probebly around 1-1.5mgs.

[addicted2hc]

Well in SWIMs first experience with Xanax, he ate 5(Five) .25mg Round White Alprazolam tablets. No tolerance whatsoever. 5 Was a few too many. All he did was eat them, feel a little goofy, then lay on the couch and slept the rest of the night.

For a first time recreational buzz I'd recommend 2-3 .25mg tablets, and just feel the buzz out. If you think you can handle more, thats your choice. Be careful though, Xanax has a weird way of hitting you all at one time, and its put SWIM down for the night many times.

[NICK0yayo]

Well SWIM had 4 .25 pills for the first time but felt like he didn't feel much of the effects but after the pills he had done some coke which might of messed up the effects? He will just try taking 4 pills again with out the coke. He does not have much tolerance to benzos actullay also. For the past 2 days SWIM has taken 2 xanax's in the morning with a very normal feeling.

NICKOyayo: Taking a downer than an upper is of course going to affect the feeling of the downer. (In many cases cancelling it completely!)

Not to mention the health concern associated with doing so.

To original poster: In short... don't mix uppers and downers, your heart will appreciate it. peace.

People's natural tolerance to benzos varies greatly. For example, SWIM's friend who is 6'3" and 190lbs can feel high off of .5mg of alprazolam, whereas SWIM requires about 6mg. SWIM would recommend starting low and building up until SWIY finds a good dose. Careful, too much will cause a serious blackout.

Very true... SWIM knows a few people who can be fucked up off of 1mg, but SWIM needs at least 4mg to feel anything at all.

[runfrom MURDER]

About how much mg does it take for SWIY to get a nice high? SWIM took a bar yesterday and passed out immediately for about 8 hours, wasting his $ completely. But tomorrow he is getting about 4 .5mg Xanax pills at school, so it will be the equivalent of a bar. Hopefully he won't pass out at school.

Also, what are the other names for 'blues'? Or Roxies. SWIM got Roxies which are blue's, and you can also get reds. But what are the other street names for blues/Roxies? SWIM wants to find dealers for some blues, but SWIM don't know what else to call them. Basically, what are roxies? SWIM snorted one, and smoked one.

Thanks

...hmm swim always said bars and or just xanax...if ppl dont have bars, they know what are talking about and can refer u to their lower mg supply.

swim would suggest taking merely 0.5 mg and waiting 20 mins and seeing how he feels...xanax is rather fast acting, so u dont have to wait an assload of time b4 redosing to make sure its not still getting into your body/brain.

Maybe rather than taking the 2mg at once...space it out over a few hours. save swiy's pills and $!

[runfrom MURDER]

SWIM gets the Xanax and Vicoden for free. So 4 .5mg pills for free tomorrow. SWIM has no reason for saving it either, since mother comes home around 7 and SWIM has to be sober.

Does nobody know what else roxies/blues are called?! Are they Xanax? What are they...

[trptamene]

think roxies are prolly rockacet (not sure of the spelling) try some kind of internet search...

blues...hmm...there are blue 1mg xanax...but they are usually referred to as footballs; prolly could find this elsewhere tho...just would take a bit of time...are some urban dictionaries/drug slang dictionaries out there, just gotta go find em.

[runfrom MURDER]

1mg Xanax are called footballs and blues, SWIM knows that. But the blue's SWIM gets don't really look like Xanax... Probably just colliding street names. Thats why SWIM asks.

[tayo]

at 10mg all at once SWIMself was talking abnormally slow and after that amnesia, then bedtime must have happened and sleep for many hours.

Yeah, SWIM is just gonna do 2mg tomorrow. I'll see how it affects me.

10mg is a lot, this usually happens after one is already under the influence and keeps taking more...swim knows this all too well.

about the pills...rxlist.com has a search you can do using the imprint code on w/e pill. swim has used this many a time.

if it is generic...it may look a lot differ than one is used to.

[ssg1222]

ive just taken too many to tell, but how long does it take after ingesting alprazolam to take full effect?

I am sure that you don't mean to say "me" when you are clearly speaking of "someone who isn't you" (SWIY)
It only takes about 30 mins.
How many did your ferret take and how many mgs?

[all_time_high]

Read The Rules. Do not incriminate yourself if you are using a drug for recreational purposes.

Time of onset of benzos depends on a lot of factors i.e. your tolerance, your body chemistry, dosage, method of intake, etc. It'd be easier to tell if you could be more lucid.

SWIM crushes 5mg pills into powder and puts the powder under the tongue for the quickest onset. But from personal experience SWIM thinks that the faster the onset the shorter the high. So when he wants to chill for a longer duration he just swallows the pills empty stomach with some coke. (5mg can be a dangerous dose for first time user)

[radiometer]

It's been about 40 minutes - I reckon you've discovered the answer the good old fashioned way by now.

[e$pe]

oral-give it a good 30 mins then BLAM

[Donmeka]

SWIM agrees 30 minutes give or take

[kaczynski]

Well, there are already plenty of responses here but SWIM wouldn't mind adding his experience to the mix.

SWIM has taken xanax probably 5 times. When he consumed doses lower than 2mg he found it to be a subtle but enjoyable high. There wasn't a huge body buzz like with an analgesic but SWIM did enjoy the mental effects. SWIM is usually slightly stressed out and is quick to become anxious is social situations, so the relaxation he felt while hanging out with his friends was relieving.

On the other hand, SWIM almost died from taking a higher dosage. In the middle of a particularly dull and irrelevant class lecture SWIM popped about 5 mg of xanax that he had been saving. He remembers NOTHING after that, except for a brief moment when SWIM was speeding down the highway, swerving erratically in and out of lanes. SWIM can't decide which was more idiotic a decision: taking that much xanax, or hitting the freeway after taking that much xanax. SWIM always has the intelligence to avoid cars altogether when he's intoxicated on any substance, but xanax apparently did away with his common sense.

[fiveleggedrat]

Agreed, Swim drove cars TWICE under the influence, like an idiot. Very smart to hide the keys once taking it, or give the keys to someone else.

Alprazolam is a very powerful drug. The amnesia Swim gets from it is stronger than any other drug he has ever had, including other benzos. It is very underestimated in terms of potency. Very important to play it safe with this one.


Low doses calm and relax, but bigger doses cause severe intoxication and amnesia. Swim slurs and looks FUCKED UP on it too, everyone knows he is messed up when he's on it. His eyes are half open/closed, bloodshot, slurred, slow language, no decision making skills, etc. Be safe Swimmers!

[SmokeRings]

SWIM was prescribed them for anxiety for a while, but had bought them off the street prior. SWIM felt that .5mg was a great help when work or life stresses would come on, and panick/anxiety would set it. Pop one of those, 20 minutes later, trying to remember what you were so stressed about! Just mellows one out, or those who truly have anxiety/panick disorders.
SWIM agrees w/the consensus regarding what dose to take. So many factors, no one can tell you a good dose. Use common sense, know yourself and your body and how you tend to react to pills and start slow and build.
SWIM would suggest taking .5mg, waiting 20, if the effects are kicking in, then take another .5mg. SWIM also suggest that drinking is also a good way to kick them in, so to speak. SWIM enjoyed Vodka/Red Bull (or any energy drink) as you get help with kicking in the Xanax and the energy drink will help you to not get so loaded that you pass out and miss the buzz!
SWIM would, for a recreational night, take .5-1mg while getting ready to go out and bring along up to another 1mg. SWIM learned the hard way about taking too much after drinking, any more than 2mg if you are mixing w/alcohol is a waste, and also watch your alcohol intake. If 4 strong drinks will give you a good buzz, then only have 2 drinks total, otherwise you'll just pass out and miss it all!
