A doctor finally realized I'm a nervous wreck, and decided to help. .25 mg of xanax. Awesome.
So yeah, it's a really low dose, I was wondering what are the chances of it knocking me out. He told me to take it at night, but I'd really like to take some before I go to school Monday to help with the anxiety, but I don't want to end up falling asleep in class or something.
I'm testing it out today, but I'm wondering what y'all think about it...
Is it a bad idea to take some before school on my first day back in two years?

Low-.75-1mg
some experience. 1mg-2mg
quite experience-2mg-4mg.
Is this a recreational dose or a therapeutic dose? If this is therapeutic then .25 mg might cause some drowsiness, but it won't knock you out. If this is a recreational dose, it'll most likely knock you out. My toloerance-less bioassay to 1.5 mg. is:
Euphoria
Inhibited motor functions
Slowed and less frequent thoughts
sleep for 7-12 hours once I finally got in the bed. One can kind of nod off but still stay conscious.
Just my experience.
Chances are on a empty stomach .5 will have you relaxed and talkitive, bring some more if you want like an extra .5 if you feel like doseing up again.
Dont bring to many or you may start eating them ike candy, this is my problem. I get to a point where I forget I just ate one so I will eat two more for good measure.
Take the .25mg some day when you don't have to go to school and see what it does for you then go from there.
It should have you relaxed for a few hours but imo klonopin is a far better drug when it comes to GAD. If it's panic attacks you're worried about though than xanax was probably the way to go.
Yeah, I noticed how a lot of people missed that part. XD
And yeah, it's panic attacks mostly that I'm worried about when it comes to school.
Uh, do you think it'd have less of an effect if I cut it in half and only used half of one? Or would cutting it not be a good idea?
I don't think there is any extended-release form of alprazolam, so I wouldn't be worried. I've split them in half before and I am still alive.
EDIT: Does it say Alprazolam XR or anything like extended release on the bottle? If it's extended release, wait until someone more experienced comes and give further info.
It's not XR, so I assumed it be okay, but I just wanted to check and make sure.
.25 mg actually messes me up a bit, to be honest. I've always been like incredibly sensitive to medications like that. =/ And it has nothing to do with being caught. If anyone thinks I'm high/drunk, eff them, I have a script and every right to use this medicine therapeutically. Just don't think it's a great first impression on my teachers to end up dozing off in their class...
What do y'all think I should do?
There definitely are 3mg XR alprazolam tablets floating around. They do seem to be pretty rare though; those sexy green little triangles.
However what you have is not XR and cutting it in half would indeed be a good idea if the original dose was too much.
Try a quarter? It wouldn't hurt.
I agree completely with this..
Individual sensitivities may vary.
I'd suggest just taking a Xanax with you to school and if you feel like you're going to have a panic attack take a quarter of it like the person above me said. Make sire you bring your prescription too, just in case you get caught with it or something. Although most schools are fucking bullshit and you'd probably get expelled just for having on Xanax on you, high school is stupid fucking bullshit. You could also bring it to the office obviously and work it all out with them.
of course, thus why it's a poor idea to ask an internet forum for pharmaceutical advice
however ~ my experiences with xannax correlate almost entirely to fry's parameters.. some pretty bad shit happened at the higher doses too.
Yeah, I thought it was a bit odd, but idk... I have sleep issues, so I think he was going for sort of using it as a sleep aid as well. Idk. But on the bottle it says to take twice a day as needed.
I'll probably just take some before school, and maybe take some to take at lunch. It seems to last a bit longer than two hours for me, but a bit less than the seven hours I'm at school. If I got caught with it, that'd be crap, but unless they like search me or something, I don't see how they could.
I've never taken more than 2.5 mg at one time. So after that, my opinion is null anyways.
