are there any fitness related reasons I shouldn't take the recommended amount of this and never abuse it as in with alcohol or something. I'm prescribed this for GAD, but I was curious if it was a gains goblin? I recall someone saying that it hurt gains and I wanted to know if true. I would rather be anxious than have gains goblins
this is not a mental health post. i want to know if xanax impedes your lifting gains in any way

Xan is a God tier rx but it won't help your lifts unless you're too anxious to even enter the gym. It saps your energy A LOT and can easily put me to sleep on even a half dose. Also supposedly addictive if taken too often, but I never had that problem.
>saps your energy
yeah that's bad. that's what i'm talkin about
half a xan had me out for 17 hours like a light
>t.drake
I'd take a bit here and there in India cause you can get it from the pharma easy. But I was so damn weak, couldn't do any calisthenics or anything, you get lazy and weak.
Also you will need to up your dose in order to feel it, then by the time you are taking a large dose and not feeling it and dealing with the sides you will want to come off and withdrawal will be hell. Don't go down that road.

okay guys have fun but do not worry i will not be getting xanax since literally 20 of you have told me it's the anti-christ back to back but enjoy the thread kek
yeah you'd be wise to follow the advice
I only used it for a month and felt fricking terrible for 6 months and I am still more depressed years and years later, I think it changed me for good
you get super suicidal when withdrawing, like deeply, also angry and feel sick all the time
I use it only when I’m starting a new job. It’s the only way I can work. Otherwise I have massive panic attacks and quit the job and I honestly don’t know why this happens. I’ve gotten therapy, I’ve tried to get jobs and not use it. But if I don’t take 0.5mg every shift for the first 3 weeks, I get massive panic attacks every shift and leave within week one.
Maybe it’s because I had a really shitty experience working sales at Best Buy and got treated horribly by 90% of the store management included.
False accusation type of thing, everyone who believed her decided to use me as a punching bag. Ended up throwing a manlet over an aisle when I snapped and cursed out some dickhead Haitian fob who cried and begged to get a management position and blamed his daily frick ups on me, on my last day when I couldn’t take anymore. But I guess that makes sense, I’m terrified to get outcasted and bullied again.
yeah i said this is NOT a mental health thread bud
moron it ain’t rocket science this is a waste of a thread to begin with.
Use it as needed. Don’t take it daily.
Suck it up and deal with the anxiety most days it won’t kill you and you’ll gradually learn to manage it without xannies, to an extent. Keep 1mg on hand for days where you can’t just suck it up and have to preform. It won’t affect fitness if you’re taking it maybe once a month on the especially hard days.
Don’t be a b***h, use it as a tool not a crutch. I.e. start new job? Use the smallest dose possible at first, then go without it after you gain footing. Going on a first or second date? Use it then stop for any date after.
You seem to be trying to justify daily indefinite use which when you run into problems such as dependency, and then of course it will affect fitness. Using it once in a while won’t frick your gains.
I would recommend you don t take it.
This is what shrinks med did to me. You could argue I did it to myself, but I was doing okay to begin with. They only dug my hole deeper
I did what the doctors asked without questioning them because I was naive, but they put me on so many meds it ruined my life for a quite a while. Xanax was one of the meds they were giving me.
But maybe it will help you, since everyone is different, but take what they say with a grain of salt. A lot of them are sociopaths who think everything can be solved by meds
Did you also take Lexapro?
The psych prescribed Laxapro + Xanax to my wife for postpartum depression
Nope
They will destroy your mind, soul, and most importantly, your gains. Do not take any psychoactive drugs like this
There’s no such thing as a safe amount of xanax.
It is ironically safer to take recreationally every once in a while than it is to take to treat anxiety.
You build up tolerance incredibly quickly and also dependence. It will turn you into a fiend
This. And ironically you will be ten times more anxious in the long run
>i want to know if xanax impedes your lifting gains in any way
xanax impedes your life gains more than just about anything that exists
did you fill a prescription for it? if so, throw it away. this is among the most important advice you will ever be given
Why? All this does is stim GABA. Just have a drink it does the same thing for about 9001x less cost. Ask for baclofen instead. They don't prescribe it in the US for anxiolytic purposes but you can request to have it for off label use. Use it short term only, learn what normal feels like. Get used to it. You'll have momentum from that and you can taper off. Don't feel like you need it.
just stop eating gluten and grains and your anxiety will go away. They stim glutamate while xans has to produce more gaba to fight it. literally so dumb ngmi
I took it for a while. I had an "as needed" prescription. Problem with it is that it's perfect for everything. Cant sleep take a bar, hectic morning, take a bar, headache take a bar, etc. It gave me this calm confident feeling, like if my house was on fire and I was sleeping I probably wouldn't get out of bed. Eventually I was taking 4 bars a day. I would blackout and be in the middle of a conversation or meal when I came to. This was before the whole party Xanax thing so I had no idea. If you do take it, just limit yourself and be careful.
>fine goddamn i didn't know it was that bad jesus
It literally causes long-lasting brain damage with even *correct prescription-following use of minor amounts*
i did not know that
dang. yeah that's a little too nice
anyway yeah i hadn't gone to the doctor for it yet, but i have diagnosed adhd so i can get pretty much any mood related pill i want.
I take 0.25mg almost every night so I can go to sleep early given I'm a night owl genetically. Works fine and no dependence for me.
That's a good price. When I was buying from a dealer it was usually $2 per pill
yeah it's a good price because i have a prescription and health insurance you frickin dunce kek
i'm not buyin it from frickin quadrayvio down the street
Xanax is Satan. I am an addiction psychiatrist. I wouldn't prescribe it to anyone, I don't care how anxious.
that's cool what would you prescribe then
Abstinence from alcohol, thyroid function testing, CBT, SSRI, SNRI, NDRI, TCA, maybe propranolol or an alpha antagonist
oh you probably weren't lying about your job
Err agonist, and roughly in that order. Maybe Seroquel too but try to avoid
i cut my drinking to like three times a year, and don't like wellbutrin or cbt
i messed with kratom for a while but it's kinda expensive so i stopped
i would get my thyroid checked that's not a bad idea
and i'ts funny i do have propanalol i take when i have a panic attack, but that's for panic attacks.
Not even once, people will shit on your head and you'll ask for more because it's nice and warm.
Benzos+opiates=road to hell
If you really need some incentive, micro dose amphetamine, not to make you high, but to make you willing to do repetitive shit.
that shit analogy made me giggle
oh i don't need incentive i was asking if it hurt gainz and everyone says it's the devil so i'm not gonna get the script
i just wanted it for anxiety
>If you really need some incentive, micro dose amphetamine, not to make you high, but to make you willing to do repetitive shit
Nta but have been considering this for a while tbh. So like 10 or 20mg and it acts like adderall basically right? Instead of edging to porn for 12hrs I'll get shit done?
its about mindset
>edging to porn for 12 hours
heh, that's what happened when i got an adderallll scriiiiiipt
still payin for that shit and it was 3 years ago
but i'm almost back to normal
Try modafinil instead
Don't do Xanax, do methylene blue instead.
Methylene blue psychobiology is as follow :
“Methylene blue enhances memory and the retention of fear extinction when administered after a successful exposure session”
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25018057/
“methylene blue produced an antidepressant and anxiolytic effect without risk of a switch into mania. Long-term use of methylene blue in bipolar disorder led to a better stabilization and a reduction in residual symptoms of the illness.”
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31144270/
“Methylene blue used as an adjunctive medication improved residual symptoms of depression and anxiety in patients with bipolar disorder.”
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27284082/
“Methylene blue administered post-training improves memory retention in avoidance and appetitive tasks, and restores spatial memory impaired by an inhibitor of cytochrome oxidase. Methylene blue may improve memory retention by increasing brain oxygen utilization”
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15792783/
A Controlled Trial of MB in Severe Depressive Illness. Conclusion: “Methylene blue at a dose of 15 mg/day appears to be a potent antidepressant..”
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3555627/
It's mandatory to take USP quality (and NOT methylene for aquarium, which is filled with heavy metals).
I just took half a xan and im halfway to Japan i just fell asleep took half a xan cant wait to land in Japan
Anything that ends in -azolam is a tranquiliser and will depress your CNS as well as your sensory and motor function, which will leave you with worse coordination and reduced ability to tell when something is wrong,
This means tldr it'll make you tired and also might make you injure yourself

They will impede your gains if you take then as prescribed. Just save the bottle for once in a blue moon recreational use.
This, smoking weed on xanax is great but taking it regularly makes you passive, weak and dumb
I don't recommend using xans recreationally either. Every time my friends and I would take xans we'd end up doing some dumb shit like walking to the convenience store and stealing natty daddys

33% increased chance of dementia and that’s if you don’t abuse them.
Also 1000% increased chance of getting arrested for something stupid if you do abuse them.
Honestly though the worst part is that you’ll become dependent on them to keep your mood in check instead of learning techniques to keep calm and building discipline to overcome your emotions.
I had a script to Xans & Kpins for two years and I feel like it stunted my emotional maturity greatly.
Remember your mind is yours, you choose the outcome.
