No disrespect is intended in this post.
I think a lot of us see a person who is in need and hurting themselves more.
These posts to me show someone who is reaching out for some kind of comfort or understanding. I'm not sure which it is but they are reaching out and I guess we are trying to grab a few fingers to guide this person onto a better path.
To me this is very different type of subject, than playing with a loaded pistol while being drunk scenario.
I think this person is scared of their life and what the future holds.
I also think a lot of woman are on this board and we are inclinded to try to help. It's just nature.

A woman's intuition and her natural desire to nurture are obviously very powerful forces. However you use them can many times help overcome life's obstacles in others. All good.
My comments were related to the absurdity of debating the safety of combining alcohol and benzodiazapines. Some subjects are just flat beyond debate. Like the safety of playing with a loaded hand gun while drunk.
If you haven't read the entirety of this thread, you likely did not read the posters who basically did not see any harm in this combination of substances. While the administration of this message board endeavors to keep youngsters from participating, it should be no surprise that some starry, naive young eyes are reading along with others who might not be well-educated on the possible serious contraindications inherent in combining Xanax and booze.
Once again, I think it is an unfortunate circumstance when a discussion this lengthy is even possible concerning this subject matter. Don't play with guns while drunk, don't fly airplanes on LSD and don't drink while on Xanax. End of story.

Thanks for the analogy officer

what do you mean by that?

I happen to agree with martinds position on this subject. do YOU have reason to resent police? thats what your comment suggest.

Once again, thanks Admin!

no have family that are police officers and have tremendous respect fpr law enforcment, this one just likes to be disrespectful. there are many who feel this way about this peson

Thats not what it suggests. Dont speculate about what you dont know.

Cornfusing. The popo are people, some suck, some are OK. I do not like the popo (jargon for Police in Baltimore) used to fatten city coffers, do the bidding of politicians and/or go out of their way to be aholes. When they do the job, OK. Others can suck it, and do. JMO.

For the record, xanax and alcohol has to be one of the worst combinations in the world. As bad as Seconal and Methadone. As bad as Popo and Joker.

Now, Mojito Diablo and Black and Tan are drinks.

i knew there was an alien interest in this somewhere.
was it a X-files romance? dod "they" breed the same way we do?
i was going to ask if your alien bride knows how to act and does what shes told to do, but i think I will just take an educated guess at that one....

Reply to the original question - 20 years ago, man I hate to start a sentence that way, i was Rx'd by a pyschologist social anxiety disorder barely past my teens & prescribed Xanax, I took the meds as directed to get past the elevator ride to work, then realized taking another one before going out w/the new boyfriend on Sat nite made it easier for him to drag me on the dance floor. Such fun memories ... had I not had the combination of few drinks and Rx (which I told my doc) ... I can't believe I would have made it thru those years and given me the confidence to venture out. Sure, not for everyone.

when I say i have respect for law enforcment im refering to real cops doing what they have to do. AnD that does not include being a-holes. I dont really care if you dont like the "popo" . some do some dont. but the one on this board is an a-hole gathing info so heads up. Thats not a real cop probably carries a 38. special desk job model.

Xanax and booze is a blackout out waiting to happen, some time you wake up some time you dont. Dirt nap. Thats why they call xanny bars "COFFINS"

I appreciate all those people that protect us.

Assuming that I am the "peson" you are referring to, I hope that the other participants on this discussion board fully appreciate how perceptive and alert you are to any potential security breach by law enforcement and your diligent efforts to identify and expose them. You are like the anti-hero of McGruff the Crime Dog.
In my experience, I've seen paranoia as a very frequent side-effect of Xanax use whether combined with alcohol or not. Such as seeing a cop around every corner when, in fact, he is not there.

I think the OP knows that Xanax and drinking is not a good idea. I also think there are a lot of people who want an answer to a question they can't ask or don't know what the question is.

When you're guilty it's the police who are bad, when you're the victim the police are wonderful. And when you're using it's a culture. You don't narc on anyone no matter what the reason. Stupid yes, but it is what it is.

This seems like such a ridiculous way to try and help each other. You really are all agreeing that it's a bad idea to mix Xanax and alcohol, even if you are still doing it. Maybe for those of you still doing it, it hasn't gotten scary enough yet.
The other sad aspect is that, as seen in this thread, dude didn't have to send away for his drugs; he had an MD who was willing (supposedly) to prescribe everything, even knowing his overdose history. W..T..F...... so that makes it OK??Because the MD has terrible judgment, but "it was prescribed to me by a doctor, so I legitimately need this". Anyone can doctor-shop and find some arsehole that does not really care, or isn't very smart.

i quit drinking---i dont follow clean time--but beer with xanax does enhance the effect---so dont be a hater your system might kill u but for others it enhances the effect----they also say dont drink white grapefruit juice i find that enhances the effect almost--not quite--as much as beer--soo i have a stock of white grapefruit juice on hand-it totally lowers the tolerance effect-----thats jmo----we all die--deal with it---btw ive been on 4mg of xanax for years and never had to increase the dose

4mg sounds pretty heavy but U get used to it. By now, it will be hell to get off of it.

After six pages of opinions about this subject, you apparently feel that it comes down to " we're all going to die sometime so why not go ahead and 'enhance the effect' even if it might kill you."
But, for God's sake, just deal with it and don't be a hater.
I don't think that makes any sense whatsoever.

I think he is basically saying:
"Hey guys, I drink and take xanax, so [censored] off, I've got to die sometime". He is looking for some affirmation and solidarity. Since I do neither, I don't relate.

So, it makes "sense", but we may not agree with it.

Why not do some sequenol too.

And then go for a drive.

It's a very rare item. You need to ask the store manager, it is in the back. You have to sign for it.

Actually Bamone, you need to be specific about what type of GFJ you intend to consume if you expect to potentiate this substance. Not all juices are created equal.

PK

It doesn't really matter now; he seems to have disappeared into the ether, which he'll probably enjoy if it's the diethyl kind.

lol

well said...i cant agree more

If you mean Jim Beam, or Smirnoff,, Hell Yeah.
BUT... I absolutly do not reccomend it. Seen a couple folks have to go get "Charcoled" for mixing the two.

My suggestion is 1) Do not mix 2)If you do mix, make sure you have been using benzo's every day of your life for the last 2-5 years before you start drinking.

I remember WAAY back in college, we would crush up "Xan" into a powder, make a line out of it. And pour a shot of whiskey. Then we would have "Races" to see who could snort the "Xan" up, then slam the shot of eiter Jim Beam or Jack Daniels. I never seen it hurt anyone, but looking back as an adult, I see that that could have been fatal.

So I don't really know what to tell ya except,, It's not a great idea,, and it can be a fatal idea if you don't have a huge benzo tolerance.

Take Care

IMO seems like a lot of people here buy xanax without a prescription, so your not in any way able to say this is a stupid topic or fatal, anxiety is in the mind,, and if you self prescribe xanax to yourself then you are no better than the person drinking on benzos and the other point is it seems to me that alot of you without a prescription are abusing this drug anyway,, from what i read people here say im going to be out soon my order hasnt came yet im going to be hurting... well your the one who self prescribed it to yourself and got addicted so if this person wants to drink on benzos why not? if you self prescribed it to yourself you are no better..... especially when you self prescribed it abuse it get addicted and complain when your order doesnt come..so im saying some of you need to chill out and use this drug when you absolutly feel it needs to be.. anxiety to me isnt anything more then a form of fear so stop being scared of the outside world and dont abuse this drug.

Sorry Anon, True anxiety is NOT "In your mind" It is a chemical imbalance in your brain. Phobia on the other hand "may" be "In the mind" and not physical. I am NO MD but have done some reading.

That said, Mixing aLcohol with ANY drug is asking for trouble. Alcohol alone may help anxiety BUT, Who wants to stay drunk all the time. Xanax alone will help anxiety without the "hangover" and usually without the "mental incapacity" that Alcohol offers. BOTH are addictive. Given the condition and given the choice, which would you prefer. I also prefer to replace "Addicted" with "Dependant". If you are a medical professional and know more about "Anxiety" than I have learned, Then I bow to your knowledge.

This is wrong on so many points, I will just choose one to comment on. It is quite evident from this post that you have NEVER experienced an acute anxiety attack yourself. If you did, you would never suggest acute anxiety or even milder forms, are in ones mind. I worked out. Did not smoke or drink heavily and I still had devastating attacks. So, as a physically active and healthy man, I have been to the emergency room many times fearing I was dying or unable to breathe. I have dropped to the floor and thought I was dying to many times to even count. Sometimes, I could not move or even talk or call for help. I think you would have quite a different view and would show considerably more empathy if you experienced a completely debilitating attack, as many of us have. Believe me, I hope you never suffer an anxiety attack of any severity, because very often you are never quite the same afterwards.
