Drug Question/General Drug Thread

[Today]

hey fellows.. a quick question about xanax
i never been into benzos, never gotten high off them or done any for a lengthened period of time whatsoever or anything like that
been dealing with bad anxiety so my friend offered me a xanax bar. not looking to get high, i decided to try half of it
very soon thereafter i suffered what i can only describe as the worst panic attack i've ever had
i don't understand
its anti-anxiety medicine, but it made me panic and freak out like nothing else. i also had terrible pain across the front of my thighs. like in my lap
felt like the muscles were seizing, and i couldn't relax. the only thing i could do was sit in a hunched over position and shiver.

anyone ever heard of anything like this from benzo side effects??

[pikeymobile]

allergy possibly?
or are you already prone to anxiety attacks?

[Today]

never had an episode like that
i've just had anxiety lately
not seizures/panic attacks, not at all.
i totally lost physical control, my stomach muscles seized, my lap was fucking killing me
i thought i was having kidney failure or something (understand that i know nothing about human bio)

I have taken a xanax before, once or twice, with no allergic reactions and little to no effect

Yes that's fairly common. All drugs will affect people differently to varying degrees, sometimes causing the total opposite effect intended. Amphetamines put me to sleep.
Muscle spasms and problems are very common with benzo abuse and has been known to kill people when quitting cold turkey.

but mine had nothing to do with withdrawal... it started directly after onset and lasted until my friend talked me down for two hours
the physical spasms worry me the most
i suppose the panic was just me being afraid of what i'd done to myself
i keep deciding that i've taken too many pills and my kidneys have had it
(i don't exactly do a lot of pills -- i take one medication daily and have taken vyvanse 3 times over the past 6 months)
but every time i take something i get paranoid about that
i get pain in my sides, back and abdomen that make me fear

[wormcode]

Yeah I didn't mean withdrawal with you, but it does mess with muscles. What was it? White 2mg handlebar? Did you check the label? There's some counterfeits around these days too, I've seen blank ones but they must be marked with info/trademarks. Be careful, especially if you have had it before without that happening.

[Today]

they were labeled, regular 2mg bars, yes
i definitely won't be using xanax again
I thought it was just going to literally help me relax .. wasn't even seeking a buzz.
My friend took one and a half, he likes the buzz, and he reported nothing out of the ordinary.

anyway i talked to my mother about it, and she's been a nurse for like 40 years.
She told me to chill, that the physical shit was all in my head and i have to let go of the guilt and anxiety that i'm harboring for whatever reason

So i guess i'm more confident now that i'm not undergoing kidney failure.....

also, for mylon, the mega VYvanse thread from BlueLight
http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/threads/3663 ... o-this-one
(been lurking there the past couple days, just ogling at all the shocking horror stories... its a weird, addictive form of entertainment)

[inDistinkt]

Ya like Wormcode said, Ive heard about some fake bars in our area. The ones labeled "gg." I forget the number thats below the gg. You also said you take another mediacation daily. Possibly an interaction depending on what it is you take.

I'm prescribed to lorazepam for when my anxiety gets bad. It completely chills me out but doesn't fog my head up so bad, but I've taken xanax before too and thought it messed me up pretty bad. Made me mad drowsy and sluggish. Idk about the mucsle spasms though, any time I've taken any benzo I just end up smoking a few bowls and chilling with my headphones on.

[Today]

thank u guys for the insight

[d-T-r]

Today , May i ask what you think caused this anxiety to begin with ? (before you tried taking anything for it )

[Today]

sure... how much time ya got

well for the sake of brevity, its like
been juggling stressful work and an unfulfilling personal life
finally got a vacation, during which i was kidnapped and assaulted, so it just wasn't really that relaxing

coming home to a crumbling relationship that ended at that point, and from there, i let myself get really antisocial
Pretty much completely isolated from other people -- if you'll recall i made a thread asking for help meeting people, here in the snh
i spend 99% of my time alone
now i get bouts of furious anger (and i suppose depression), basically anger directed at myself for letting my life get this dismal
and i worry
i worry about stuff a lot

so i'm more or less a walking bundle of nerves with a deep seeded anger and resentment toward happy, social people and anyone with a romance

and so, i took the 1/2 a xanax

Were you were prescribed it or were you just self-medicating yourself?

[Today]

no script
just an isolated trial, someone gave it to me

[Killamike49]

Sometimes shit like that happens with drugs man. You just have a panic/anxiety attack for whatever reason.
You're fine. You're probably a relatively healthy person, with little to no chance of kidney failure. Haha. Same shit happened to me dude, but with weed from other drugs. it'll go away with time, but if you don't trust xanex. Then don't trust Xanex.

What is the fuck Today... I go away for a year and you get kidnapped and assaulted? What in the fuck?

[Sonika]

Also amphetamines are fucking horrible.

I've never found any real pleasure out of them, but think they're good tools, either for work, or for staying active on an all-nighter.

i agree, except for 4-fa. really euphoric and clean high

nooo i felt fucking terrible after a 4-fa binge though, couldnt sleep for like 2 nights and was sweating and twitching and shit. fucked me up for a week. it's the only amphetamine i've ever really fucked with and it feels so terrible afterwards it's not worth the high

[cloaked_up]

arent u 15 tho

m8 dont fuck with ampetamines that young
smoke some meth when ur 18 for a lol
