my mother used to take them with whiskey and pass out on the couch. Nothing could rouse her in that state, we all just had to wait until she eventually sobered up, and this could take 9-14 hours depending on how much xanax she decided to take with her liquor :(

I've been taking Xanax every day for nearly 18 years for generalized anxiety disorder. I'm still surprised that my doctor has been willing to prescribe them to me for so long, but at this point I figure I'll keep taking them for the rest of my life if possible.

I have a friend whose a drug counselor for at risk youth and she's a lifetime benzo taker. She's had scripts for all this poo poo since she was a kid and insists she needs them but I really feel like its just a crutch and addiction. We went skydiving and were amazed at how calm she was. Oh right because she popped a Xanax and a kaladapin that cheating bitch. Learn to cope with some loving anxiety for Christs sake you pussies.

Your anxiety isn't the same as the anxiety of people with anxiety disorders. You don't know what they're going through.

benzos are loving awesome... for the first six months

then they start fogging up your brain and making you stupid and eventually they become as hard to quit as any street drug you can name

benzos are cool if your access to them is somehow limited to maybe 1-4mg in a given month. When you have steady access and you're binging them or stuck in a roofie circle or something, it's really bad. If you ever come out of the fog, on the other side you'll be able to look back and see all the destruction you wrought on yourself with no memory of how or why.

Lifetime rx'ers are different some of those people just aren't sane without that medication, severe anxiety looks just as loving crazy as an unmedicated schizo.

Yeah. it's not like "oh man this stressful thing is giving me stress". It's more like "I have repeated symptoms that are indistinguishable to me from a very real physical emergency such as a heart attack every day or sometimes multiple times a day even if all I do is lay down on the couch with my eyes closed trying to relax"

There's some other medications that aren't nearly as dangerous but of course there's none that work as fast or as well as the benzo's which is why they're still around. If you just wanna get high theres like way better drugs

Benzos are fun if you don't get addicted to them. Like alcohol withdrawing from benzodiazepines can kill you. Seizures aren't fun,don't do benzos to the point where you have to take them everyday or else you'll seizure out.

Benzos are nice but quite addictive

In the long run beta blockers are way better at anxiety disorders IMO

They are too good. I Wish I had the discipline to not get addicted to benzo, coming home on a Friday night after a stressful week and poping tow to three Valium's is heaven, but I know if is started doing that it would escalate to "after a stressful day" and not "a stressful week."

the trick is to get 90 .5mg klons scripted for the month, then eat them all in the first week. then you don't get addicted!

I recently learned that Benzos affect Gaba A receptors.

There is a drug called Phenibut that affects the Gaba B receptors. Gaba B receptors aren't as efficient as the A receptors, so the drug works differently, and I've read the dependency that develops is way worse than with Benzos, with worse withdrawal effects and it's harder to get off of it.

Basically, Phenibut IS Gaba, with a phenyl ring molecule attached to each Gaba molecule that basically makes it shoot straight in to your Gaba B receptors.

And what is really lol, is that Phenibit isn't recognized by the FDA as a drug. So that means anyone can sell it as a supplement in the USA!

Even more lol, is that that Dave "Bulletproof Coffee" Asprey guy is selling it on his site.

Lol! For your health! :D

If you take them too often you develop a dependency. That means you will notice if you don't take another dose after 12-24 hours, you will start to feel really anxious and shaky. That is because your Gaba A receptors become unable to uptake Gaba without the drug. In order to fix this, you have to slowly taper down your dosage until you can stop taking it without feeling anxious. And even if you feel you were able to get off, you might all of a sudden months later start to feel withdrawal effects again with seemingly no explanation, and you have no choice but to go back on the drug.

It's best not to take anything that fucks with any of your Gaba receptors at all, really.

phenibut is good and stops working when you take too much rather than causing a week long blackout

a dose above what's prescribed, provided you can stay awake, is akin to being drunk without all the horse poo poo that comes with drinking.

think totally relaxed, little twinges of euphoria, kind of a blissful little stupor.

Then you start taking too much and that total relaxation develops into a weird kind of narcissism and sociopathy and before you know it you're just stealing things because you felt like it and you're engaging in reckless and dangerous behavior constantly without realizing it.
