Will xanax relieve my paranoia from smoking weed?

This is a cross post because now that I think about it, this seems like the place to ask this question.

I used to smoke pretty heavily (around 4 times a day) but I quit due to paranoia. It started small but over a half year period, the paranoia grew so intense that the high was not worth it. That’s when I quit smoking weed.

It’s been 2 years since the last time I’ve smoked and have been thinking about giving it another try to see if I’m over my paranoia.

I was wondering, since xanax is used to relieve anxiety, would taking xanax before I smoke help relieve my paranoia?

 

yeah

 

although your going to try it regardless, know that xanax is dangerous for some people.

 

I don't recommend getting high on xanax. It turns you into something you never would want to see yourself as and the worst part you don't remember anything you did while on them. It can only make you fuck up your life, and not even remember how you did it. Nothing good comes from it. My brother died from taking xanax with a little methadone. It obviously wasn't the xanax fault he chose to take so much but im just saying its BAD news.

Except if your TNS, that is. I dont know he handles large amounts like he does, that crazy fucker.

 

shit, sorry about your brother man.

When I quit smoking weed, I took up other drugs in it's place such as benzos (xanax), opiates, and amphetamines. I know the bad effects of xanax when used in excess. I' apparently went on a trip about an hour and a half away with some friends and have absolutely no recollection of it due to the amount of xanax I was taking at the time.

I have now cut down and generally only take 1.5 mgs at a time. I didn't take xanax when I used to smoke weed and am curious about how they interact. I'm hoping that the xanax will help me get rid of my paranoia when high off weed.

 

The op doesn't want to get high off of xanax. They want to just relieve the paranoia and get high from the pot. Maybe your brother shouldn't have been mixing drugs like that. Methadone is dangerous anyway.

Take one xanax, and you should be fine.

 

if you have valium take that instead. I find it does a better job of releiving anxiety.

 

Xanax generally makes me feel less depressed than valium does.
Also, I've got a shitload of xanax so I might as well use those instead of buying something else.

 

You're crazy.

You're taking drugs so you can take other drugs.

How about you don't take xanax, somehting with a highly addictive history.

 

are you going to be getting a precription for xanax or are you buying them from your dealer? One before doesnt seem like it would hurt too much. Past about 3 and you wont remember what you did the entire day.

 

I agree, and I'd like to try Zanax or Valium for my paranoia. I get paranoid whether I'm high or not, I have since I was a kid because of my OCD.

 

I don't have a prescription, I get a great deal on them from my dealer.

I've read some reports on erowid about using xanax to relieve paranoia and seems like it works. I'm going to give it a try.

 

I take zoloft already for anxiety, but I want xanax.

 

All you're doing is becoming addicted to popping pills.

Do you understand this and not care?

Or do you not understand this and well... ignorance is bliss i suppose.

And Jadesmom, its none of my business, and you don't even need to respond, but if i recall correctly you have a kid. Do you want your kid to know that you pop xanax. I understand you may need it for anxiety but "I take zoloft but i want xanax" shows dependency imo. When I found out my uncle Od'd on coke i vowed never to touch chemical drugs if I can.

 

i understand where your comming from on this because alot of my friends and my family do pills. but in MHO if someone is taking the time to post on here about what it does and asks more about it they dont want to take to much or get addictied. jademoms kid is really young she wouldnt even know what she was doing if she was popping pills. from what i can see she doesnt "pop" them like some little candies. i have taken alot of pills in my day when i was yonger just because i had access to them. i never liked zoloft it always made my teeth chatter like i was shivering but i wasnt. i dont mind taking a couple xanax or valum every once in a while. other pain killers dont interest me at all anymore like vicodon or morphine... etc.

 

Xanax makes me pass out for days.......I just get a grip of my paranoia by reminding myself its only a side effect. I've been smokin for at least a decade (if not a bit longer) and paranoia just comes with it!

 

I'd just like to state for the record that nobody who has posted in this thread has suggested they want to get high off zanax or just "pop pills" to get high off them. Some of these medicines genuinely, in the prescribed dosage, help anxiety whether it is from pot smoking or not.

 

Yes! It used to make me grind my teeth like crazy. I hated that aspect of it. But I really do need it for anxiety. I had a real problem going for awhile after i had the baby. I had a bit of Post partum blues too. The zoloft is for anxiety yes, but it also helps me to feel better in general. Like I have more motivation for life. To want to get out of bed and stuff you know?

The reason I said that I want xanax was because it yea I wouldn't mind feeling euphoric for awhile. I mostly said it though because I'm kind of worried about taking the xanax since I already have that stuff in my system.

Xanax is something that you take temporarily. It is a pill that you pop when you need it. Zoloft is something that takes awhile to work with your brain and stuff. So I'm not sure if it would be good.

Plus I'm a pot head mommie already. What's one little xanax gonna hurt swazo?

 

My dads a pharmacist and I see it quite a bit. One little xanax can lead to one little xanax a month, to a week, to a few days.

Then you're spending tons of money on pills. I don't know. I just hate pills.

 

Listen to Swazo.

Xanax turns people into walking idiots (unless they actually need it for anxiety).

Stupid stupid drug... probably as stupid as they get out there.
