Hi you all who use xanax as needed...
Which dosage you take? How often? Does it help? Are you experiencing any side-effects?
I started my journey with xanax couple days ago... First went straight to 1 mg. Felt like I was drunk.
My speech went very slurred and movements clumsy. It was hard to try to explain anything longer, because I kinda "forgot" what I had just said... And no, it didnt have so big effect on my sa. It definitely gave me some confidence, but I think couple beers would have done the same.
Today I tried a little bit smaller dose, and took 0.25 mg. I think it took the biggest edge of my anxiety away. I ran into a friend, and it was definitely easier to talk to her than normally... But again, nothing very tramatic anyway :blank.
After couple hours I decided to take another 0.25. And then, it hit me again... It clearly started to affect my speech. I became kinda confused, for example almost forget several times to push the bus' "stop-button" before my stop... I became slightly disoriented. How can 0.5 mg have such an effect on me?
And now, I have felt very tired the whole day.
I am not sure, if this drug is for me...

These drugs like alcohol or xanax dont seem to work very well on my anxiety... I think it is much because I feel such a need to be "in total control of the social situation", and when intoxicated I feel I'm losing that control. And on the other hand, I still prefer appearing nervous to appearing drugged
