I honestly don't understand the stigma towards xanax.

I'm not a regular xanax user - occasionally partake when I go drinking because it gives me insane confidence without drinking to excess.

Anyway, I received a package of bars today and I decided to take one (they're the supremegg supposedly 3.5mg). The last few weeks of my life have been such a burden on me - huge deadlines at work and it was driving me mad thinking that I wouldn't be able to make my superiors happy nor live up to the standard that I hold myself to. But you know what? With a clear mind it became obvious to make that I'm not the constraint in my team's effort. Realistically I was succumbing to thoughts of inadequacy that were unfounded.

This doesn't feel like a drug that has a direction linear relationship between increased dosage and increased sense of well being. The bare minimum is quite literally enough. Where is the appeal of taking a crazy amount to forget reality?

On a side note my employer has been paying for classes to get my masters degree and I was so afraid to check my grade in one my classes. Fuck it. Checked It. A-. What the fuck was I worried about?

This drug is fucking awesome. Not to excess of course. But I have this sense of well being now that doesn't feel drug induced. Benzos done right can truly be an antidepressant. I'm going to be positively ecstatic tomorrow - while sober.

Most people I see are disgustingly passed out and drooling from it. Also most people I know who take it are low class and only use it in combination of oxycodone because they are poor and this makes it last longer/hit you harder. I honestly don't see the appeal and have never felt anything like you describe. Coke please

Benzos remove anxiety that serves as a barrier to success. Once the success pays off, your endogenous endorphins take over control of your feelings from there. Congrats!

They have a negative stigma because a lot of people act really dumb when they are barred out. In the past when I have taken them I usually just watch a movie, smoke some weed, and pass out though.

I have some serious anxiety, but can't get an rx for anything, I guess I get a sick sense of enjoyment out of it. All the hullabaloo about bars, psssshh, can anyone even sell legit Rx ?

Xanax does really make you stupid, the subreddit is /r/thebarbarians, so I think the bar resellers are aware. They also have their own sub culture unlike the rest of the DNMs, which in general makes it harder for a lot of people to understand them. Also fuck quantik

You're right man, in the right time and place, benzos can be godsend, but in the way that a lot of people here or end users use benzos, they're completely fucky. When people are crashing their cars into ditches consistently, it's safe to say the drug is hard to respect (especially since when you take it you give a few less fucks, so why not take more rite guyz?)

3.5mg would make most people pass out. You are there new God send.

They can be fine when used in moderation.

Many people don't know how to spell moderation.

Once moderation is gone, and you are a drooling fuckin mess who can't live without benzos, the impending terror of grand mal seizures keeps the benzo party going. Drug withdrawals that can actually kill you are a paritularly terrifying thing. So, there's that.

Who cares what others think...

Funny thing is nobody can even tell I'm on benzos when I take them. A client complimented my work... And my boss is like "yup we got one that can not fall asleep, can talk to clients, and doesn't do drugs." I told him he was 2/3 because I can sleep with my eyes open.
