In reply to Why do I hear that Xanax is stimulating sometimes, posted by rjlockhart98 on October 23, 2005, at 13:02:03
I don't have much experience with the benzos but some people do seem to have a "paradoxical" response to them. This may be due to a mechanism called disinhibition.I think xanax may have minor effects on dopamine and serotonin also, so that's another possibility.
As you mentioned dosage is also important. For example, Remeron is typically sedating at lower doses and stimulating at higher ones. Seems like you may be talking about the opposite effect here.
