Thread: Xanax and snorting it question

My Doc just prescribed me Xanax and I have read with mixed reviews that snorting it intensifies the affects...anyone have any info or experience with this

dude seriously dont listen to that guy. peters a great guy from what i have seen. i mean dont listen to anyone but me. xanax is horrible. if you take that shit for too long you are going to give your soul to it. if your a person who has an adictive personality....im sure you are we all are here. which is why we take everything to the extreme. but on a serious note. benzodiazapines are the class itsa in. they can cause respitory depression, addiction, and all sorts of shit. if you just take one youll be fine. if took one a week for a year youll be fine. if you take em every day for 6 months and then stop you WILL NOT sleep for 6 weeks. you can also have a grandmal seizure from withdrawals on benzos. be careful. i own a pharmacy so i have seen untold numbers of lives destroyed by those. and dont even think of taking percs or any opiates with em. you can die very easily. sniffing them wont make much of a difference. youd be better off putting em in a drink and tossin it back. all snorting it will do is break it down so it disolves better. but you dont have to do that because xanax is not an extended release drug. theres no coating to make it break down slower.......addict like to sniff shit...im an addict in recovery. (xanax was one of the drugs i fell in love with) you can have memory loss with xanax. dont drive dont drink, smoke weed with em and youll be ok. but if you never took em before 2 mgs will put you down for the count...watch out people loose everything when on those. keyes, wallet whatever....just be careful. id never say to any kid, man or woman yeah go ahead sniff em. do it up....just be careful please i hate seeing like minded people suffer like ive seen so many....if your the type to just party sometimes then its not bad, just dont take too much. more than 2 mgs will fucking wreck you the first time...youll probably sleep on em...weather you want to or not

ya like previously stated if your a member of this website you probab;y shouldnt take them. I used to have an issue with them about 6 years ago. I used to take 4-5 bars a day (2mg) and mix them with vidodin and atavan. i would get seriously fucked up. I would feel drunk off my ass. I loved it. but on the other hand, it was expensive, very dangerous, i overdosed 3 times in a year. the doctors were amazed i was still alive. And i was blacked out for like weeks or months at a time. Its not good stuff, i causes more damage than good. and snorting them just perpetuates that. it doesnt get you higher, just gets you higher faster, and it has a awful drip. I wouldnt do it.

Just started me off laughing too hard... don't know why. Sorry.

Anyways if it's storytime...

Hey man, I've been there. Not a road worth going down. I'm just telling from experience. Most of the anti-drug motherfuckers on here are just idiots, [though they mostly hate cocaine, speed, LSD, rolls, Oxycontin... just all the shit they see on Dateline NBC] but I'm gonna tell you from experience.

I had it all before I started taking Xanax. I had a [hot] girlfriend, a reliable and decent, [but not too flashy] car, I had good grades, I was the regular 15 year old high school sophomore, many friends, popular, etc. I started out drinking beer, and then found the weed scene and dropped the alcohol scene. Of course, the guys who only smoke weed are cool, but the guys who smoke weed and do other drugs, and also pressure the youngin's to do those drugs, are the crowd to stay away from.

Combine the physically addictive properties and an extreme case of addictive personality to Xanax, the first chance at a 'hard' drug, I was hooked on the second rail.

2 mg, to 4 mgs, to 8mgs, a bag of 30 at a party, to a bag of 30 for myself at a party, I was a full-blown, high-tolerance, hardcore Xanax addict.

I started slinging to support my habit, and the people I dealt with were not the best people. I started by buying an ounce of weed, and traded to people with insurance-paid scripts, taking enough out of my sack to increase from $100 of weed to $500 of Xanax. I was buying most of the Xanax available in 5 counties of KS and NE. I was a Xanax kingpin. I traded Xanax for weed, weed for Xanax, never bringing cash into the equation.

My grades started slipping, my girlfriend dumped me, my friends resented me, I was alone, but found comfort in one thing: Xanax and money. I started bringing cash into the Xanax + weed equation. I bought a 1989 Cadillac Brougham, Burgundy with a Cream top, a 7.4 Litre engine, and I put some hundred spoke rims on it and added a sound system and a gun rack. I was 16 years old and living it up and having a horrible life at the same time.

When I went to school, I felt like shit, I felt I had to run to the bathroom and cut rails of Xanax between every class. My grades were absolute shit. I was pulling a 0.9 GPA, and my only friends didn't hang out with me, they bought drugs from me. I tried to find friends, I tried to get a girl. My eyes sunk in and became dark, I was unshaven, shaggy haired, and then I lost the last thing important to me.

I was driving on a few Ambien, millions of Xanax, and I had smoked some weed, and I dropped the Caddy into a 20 foot ravine and bent a car with a real frame into a fucking banana. I grabbed my drugs, kicked out and crawled out the windshield, and went back to the road and called a customer to come pick me up and I'd give them drugs to let me crash for a few days.

During this time I reevaluated my life. Realized my life was shit. I wasn't going anywhere but jail or the hospital. I od'd on Xanax at the customers house. He threw me into the gutter, [on the street, against the curb] to lie there in pain across my entire body. I realized as I lay there making involuntary painful movements, that I was thirsty, that I had lost my friends, my GF, my schoolwork, my grades, and my family's trust. And I lost my Cadillac car, an emblem of my 16 year old empire. I realized I had nothing but the drugs in my pocket. I got out the Xanax and looked at them, realizing I was od'ing but wanting to take the rest [about 140 mgs] and just end the pain.

I eventually passed out, woke up in the morning, and I went back to my customer's house and grabbed my guns, [after he went to work, I crawled through a window] and walked the 4 blocks back to my old car, which I had left behind the dealership where I bought the Cadillac. I resumed my normal activities [selling and using]. I was pulled over 2 days later. I kicked my Xanax habit in a juvenile detention center. [Jail for <18] I had no cigarettes, which really sucked, and no Xanax, which was the end of the world. The withdrawal was worse than my OD. With that I'll end the story.

I didn't want to share this story, but I felt it was necessary. I definitely don't want to see another young guy like me lose it all. I'm 18 now and I still haven't repaired all the damage done by this long list of shenanigans.

Peace brother.

Wow man. sounds like you had it bad. our stories are almost identical. i wasnt ballin so hard, no caddy with a gunrack, but the downfall and rehabilitation are dead on. so i guess it doesnt matter what scale you abuse it on, abusing it at all just leads you down the same road.
