I've been taking Xanax for about two years because of my anxiety disorder. But I've also been known to take it for recreational purposes.

When I'm highly anxious, a small amount of Xanax is a lifesaver. It makes me really calm and euphoric.

But on this occasion, I decided to take four mgs at once. Then I think I blacked out and took the entire bottle, which was about 20 pills.

I don't remember too much except I decided felt I had to get out of my house and skateboard down to my friend's house. But I kept stumbling and got quite a few bruises because my coordination was so terrible. At this point I realised I couldn't make it to my friend's house because I was way too messed up.

So at around 3 am, I called my friend and he came and picked me up at a bus stop. I ended up passing out on his couch.

The next morning, I found out my parents had filed a missing persons report on me because I pretty much disappeared and they knew I was under the influence of the drug.

This was the most unpleasant experience I've had on Xanax because I was really confrontational with my parents and just generally in a crappy mood. Most of the time Xanax sedates me to the point where I have to sleep. But for some reason at such a high dose, I felt more energised.

So in conclusion, Xanax is really fun in small doses. But too much can cause pretty horrible side-effects.
