Xanax - took random amounts of tabs and pure powder for a few months willy nilly, all non-presc, about a year ago, no idea it was addictive, just thought it would chill me out. Ironically they had absolutely no effect on me whatsoever except make me seep if I took too much. I decided to stop as they did nothing for me and had a few scary events when drinking - I'm lucky I'm not dead! Thus entered hell like I have never felt!!! I reinstated on 0.5mg 4 x a day using 2mg bars which I bulk bought last July.

 

I got myself stable and then started on a gradual micro-taper using those bars and am currently at 0.0625 3 x a day and considering jumping this weekend

 

I made a solution out of 15 bars (30mg alp) into 60ml vodka and been reducing 0.1ml a day.

 

It has been an absolute breeze and haven't had a single notable side effect except for the odd tingling in the back of my head if I have missed a dose due to interdose withdrawals and I think it makes my BO smell different haha
