Hi Ya


I have taken Xanax, and it DOES cause initial reward then followed by sedation, then sleppiness feelings-just like Alcohol. I now take Valium and there is no 'Reward' as there CAN BE with Xanax, i can take take it 3x daily or not at all,

I'm supposing because of it's VERY long half life of 200 hours-althought it's CNS effects last only a few hours. Valium is FAR more subtle to the sledge hammer of Xanax which CAN-BE europhic when taken. Hard up, Euphoria, sedation then sleepiness, then frazzled nervers-creating a need for another dose-i have read about this MANY times.


Cheers
