so i stop on the south with my friends today and we arent 21 so hes like lets just eat some bars and just chill and watch moveis..


pills make me nervous for some reason so i bought 3 for XXX dollars. i was scared so i just took half of one. and just swallowed it. i felt just really tired and couldnt even walk.


the next day i took another one before school and i noticed i dont get all stumbly and act messed up like my friends. i dont even know why there called downers because they make me feel good about myself.


normally in public i dont talk much, and i have social anxiety. so for the past 2 days ive tooken bars at school and ive done most of my work i listen to the teacher and actually sociallize alot more and they make me feel alot better about myself.


but i find these things highly addicting. can i die off these things? would two a day make me over dose? i was also thinking maybe i do need to goto the doctor and tell him i took them and how they make me feel. i try to talk to my friends about these things but they dont listen to me. the way i usually feel about myself is i just walk around and everyones constantly talking about me and im nervous about what people think about me. but as far as i knowim going to keep doing them.


if anyone can give me some input on this please help.

benzo can be used to treat anxiety. it's possible that your quite and reserved at school because you have social anxiety disorder. and by taking a small dose of xanax, it's helped you with that. your friends are probly acting messed up because they are taking much more than you, and i'd bet they were drinking on them. dieing from xanax is highly unlikely. you can od if you take a whole bottle but it'd be rare to die from xanax alone. two bars a day is a lot, you can become easily addicted to benzos and your tolerance will go up. if you want to keep using them just to feel more at ease during the day, keep your dose small. i'd say no more than 1/2 a bar. you should start with just .25mgs though and go from there. if you do feel comfortable talking to a doctor about it though i think that would be a really good idea. your doctor will probly tell you which benzo is best for you, and start you on a small dose.

[ry4nj]

is there anything in them that make you try harder in school. everyday before school ill chew one up and goto class and i actually listen and do my work. my friends also tell me they like me alot more when im on bars. the only thing im worried about is frying my brain and not even be able to move around if you know what im saying.


by the way thanks for the help guys. i try to talk to my friends but you guys seem alot more helpful.

It is very dangerous to self medicate with Xanax to treat a self diagnosed condition.


Xanax is recomended for only 30 days use in the treatment of Panic Disorder. It is commonly prescribed off label for other anxiety disorders and to help people through especially traumatic times. Xanax is used as a temporary treatment. A doctor will prescribe Xanax until he can find a better medication.


People build a tolerance to Xanax very fast, especially at higher doses. If you continue using Xanax to treat your condition in a few months time you will probably need several bars just to feel its effects. The withdrawl symptoms of Xanax are very dangerous and can be deadly. It also causes rebound anxiety meaning that when you skip your dose you feel very anxious.


Xanax lasts at most 4 hours. If you are desprate for a benzodiazepin look for a longer acting one like Klonopin (which lasts 12 hours). Xanax is used to treat social anxiety disorder only when it borders on agoraphobia (a crippling fear of being in a public place).


From what you probably do have some type of anxiety disorder. However only a doctor can diagnose social anxiety disorder. Depending on the degree of the social anxiety disorder different medications are appropriate. If you go to a doctor and he finds that you have social anxiety disorder you may get prescribed a Tri-Cyclic antidepressant (e.g. BuSpar), a SSRI (e.g. Paxil, Zoloft, Prozac), or a benzodiazepin (e.g. Ativan or Klonopin).


You should probably see a doctor. First of all you will save money because insurance will pay for your prescription. A doctor will also determine the degree of your social anxiety disorder (if you have it) and will prescribe the medication that will help the most. It is important that you recognize the doctor's ability to help you.


If you insist on self medicating you need to switch to a longer acting benzodiazepin. The safest and most effective probably would be .5mg of Klonopin to be taken in the morning.


If you go to see a doctor don't tell him that you have been self medicating. He will be very hesitant to prescribe you any benzodiazepines. If you insists on taking a benzodiazepine saying something like "I have a friend who takes Klonopin and it seems to work well for him".


Please keep us/me updated on what is going on.


P.S. I accidently deleted my entire post just as I finished typing it. Sorry if this was hard to understand or if I left some thing out. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I spent the time to retype this because I don't want you ending up addicting to Xanax (which will happen if you self medicate with it).

I took Xanax on a regular base, not for anxiety, but as a sleeping pill.

I don't understand you can eat a bar (2mg) and walk around all day

I took/take 2 mg before going to bed and it knocked me out, couldn't stay awake at all.

And i did that for about 2 months, and 2 mg was more then enough, but i never noticed anything of a 'tolerance'.

[t3h_1337]

That's because you were taking it for sleeping. When you take it for anxiety it loses it's calming effect quickly. Its like Adderall. The first two to four weeks are great but then it loses it's effect and you need to increase the dosage for it to feel the same way.

[Tavz]

Ive got a bottle of generic Xanax 2mg bars. First time i took half a bar and only felt a little sleepy. So about two hours later i took a whole 2mg bar. Waited a few hours and only felt tired. Ended up sleeping like 17 hours, but other than that nothing. What are the effects suppose to be with taking Xanax and why do people abuse it? I know its for anxiety but whats the recreational use, any reason why it did nothing for me?

[jarka]

Dunno, I once took 0,5mg Xanax and it worked on me. I felt a little lightheaded and tingling in my fingers etc..

[Mike177]

i took 2 mg orally with a beer and railed 2mg 45 min later. i wish i could tell you wtf happend but i have no earthly idea what did. i remember nothing, hell i could of been raped and i woulnt of remembered it . Xanex generaly gives people a feeling simmilar to being drunk, wile it is not recomended to drink with them some people woulnt have it any other way. i met one guy who used them all the time and said "every bar a take after i get drunk is like adding a 6 pack on top of what i already drank" its really not the same as being drunk but thats what i would compare it too. but i dont use xanex much.

[club222]

Whenever I used to see people on bars I would immediately think that
they were drunk, because that's what it appears like to a sober person.
I normally drink 2 beers or so whenever I take a bar also, it seems to
make the effects so much greater.

[Tavz]

Yeah, I took half a pill before work today, felt a little loopy most of the day, was in a good mood. Also helped a lot with anxiety, I think I will most likely just take it as directed instead of recreationally.


Well, maybe sometimes on the weekends.

[savage]

does everyone sleep that long when they take the bars, because i have a bunch and i don't want to take one and then not be able to get up for school in the morning

[Tavz]

Im sure you have already tried them by now Savage but I dont really get tired anymore after taking them for a week. Im talking about a 2mg bar, it makes me kinda sleepy but nothing much. However a few days ago I took 2 2mg bars within an hour, sat around on the computer for about an hour then went downstairs. Was watching TV at 5:30, next thing I know its 8:30, I dont remember feeling tired, I dont even remember closing my eyes, i just passed out, was kinda freaky.


Also, the day I slept so much might have also been related to getting up at 3AM and working 13 hours, then staying up for another 7 hours before taking the Xanax, maybe I should have mentioned that.

One night SWIM took 2.5 of the yellow xanax bars at a graduation party.
SWIM was told that the yellow bars were five times the strength of the
standard white ones, but SWIM doesn't know this to be the case.



Anyway, SWIM woke up the next morning not remembering anything after
dosing. Friends at the graduation party related many stories of SWIM
and said he seemed very drunk.



Friends of mine who used to play around with xanax said they had
trouble remembering weeks of their lives because of these things.



I recommend against taking them, but, either way, be careful!

The yellow bars are a generic brand of Xanax, but are still equal to 2mg each.

xanax is strong. my first time ever was just a 2mg bar and 2 beers and
i was pretty out of it. start out small to get an idea of the effects
and work your way up in my opinion

[X-Dream]

Wow Tavs, can't believe you didn't pass out on the first half. Most people I know can't stay awake on a half. You do wanna take it easy with the recreational use though and not get your tolerance to high. Coming off these can be rough, I knew someone taking 5-6 a day and when they couldn't get anymore went into siezures, got very anxious and paranoid, sounds scary.


Also watch out for those blackouts, I had the same problem. I would forget everything and be in a bit of a daze. If I took 3 I'd forget the whole night, especially when drinking. Might want to try writing things down more often. Also they give me a major case of munchies so I'll usually wake up with a few snacks around me. My sense of touch felt diffrent also as if everything were very soft. Great pill, watch out for that tolerance. For regular use I used to break them into pieces and have a whole if I had a stressful episode.Edited by: X-Dream

Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.


The costs depends on where/how you get them. If you buy them on the street they probably cost $1-2 a bar, but if you are buying them from some kid at your college or highschool who has a prescription for them they will probably want $2-6 a bar. The effects of a Xanax bar (when used recreationally) last about 2 hours.


However, Xanax is pretty easy to get a prescription for (compared to painkillers). If you go to a doctor tell him that you have been having problems sleeping from time to time, and you were wonding what you should do. If he starts talking about medication tell him that you had a girlfriend or something that took Xanax to help her sleep from time to time and it worked well with her. However, the doctor will probably only prescribe you 1 mg. He might want to prescribe something else, like Ambien, which is way better of a recreational drug. It makes you feel like you are dreaming when you are awake and it gives you amnesia of what happened while you were on it.


Since Xanax is a fast acting benzodiazepine it dosn't stay in your system to long. Check the Drug Test forums, they have on one of the Sticky posts some info about how long certain drugs stay in your system. For Xanax I think it was 2-4 days, but I am not sure about this so check for yourself.</TD></TR></T></TABLE>

[The Boss]

The white xanax bars are often called Wagon Wheels due to the fact they are like 4 xanax bars, they are not new just hard to find. I was lucky enough to have an aunt thats prescribed to them and she sells them to me for 3$ a pop and i can sell them for 8$ easy so they are the shit. Take one and be prepared to not remember a muther fucking thing...

First of all there is no such thing as a 4mg xanax. The highest they go are 2mg in the instant release form and 3mg in the extended release form. The xanax bars are all the same. White and yellow both have only 2mg of alprazolam. If anyone says that they think the yellow ones are stronger then they are either lying orexperiencing a psychosomatic reaction.

[douchebag]

Is there anyway to flush out your system of bars. Because I took tonight and I could possibly have a drug test tomorrow and I am worried as shit. Please contacts me.. aim.. yahoo.. whatever. Even email. Thnx
