> ~SI just ate a xanax IR 1mg because its weekend and it's time for research. I experienced the following:
-no muscle relaxation
-something like a spacey feeling, tiny symptoms of motoric ataxia, dyskinesia
-seems to have more hallucinogen properties than valium
-onset of action gradually, good remarkable after 20 minutes.
-no kick, just nothing but no depression also.
-drug disappears very fast, after 2h I felt just as normal.
-I would say that Valium 20mg is stronger than 1mg Xanaxsdb
