Edit: okay, as time goes on, this is becoming less annoyingly stupefying and more mildly enjoyable. Still won't be something I'll use recreationally, but I think this is a great replacement for etizolam for me (combatting occasional sleeplessness).
I took a rough quarter of a 0.5mg pill (was hard to split with a drugstore pill cutter - got very flakey and crumbly so I just kinda took some random chunks that looked about right 🤷) and I wouldn't say this feels necessarily like alprazolam...but, it feels like, well, a bartard simulator. I feel like a bartard. My attention is all over the place, I can't really do anything, my muscles are super relaxed and I'm sedated as fuck. I don't give a single fuck. But it's not in a fun way lol. It's really annoying actually, how...slow my mind is feeling. My brain is just..so...slow... It's far more sedating and hypnotic than alps imo. Not euphoric, tho alps aren't really euphoric for me either. It's just. Idk. "heavier" and more "bluhhhh" than alpraz. Slower. So much slower. My IQ is 5 right now lmao.
I purchased this with the intent of it being an occasional sleep aid so I think it fits the bill there! Just no euphoria or recreational value to note...for me, at least. I can't do shit lmao I can't focus. FML. Oh well. I was tired as fuck today anyway so at least I'll sleep good.
I think I'm gonna sleep real well tonight. Cheers.
edit: okay now that i'm getting more used to the headspace, it's kinda nice, not too bad. i can't stop fucking EATING though lol.
Edit: weeeee. I feel so stupid. But idgaf! Definitely feeling more like alpraz as it goes on. Interesting
Edit: final verdict: this is much more like alpraz and/or etiz than I first realized in the beginning, though obviously not identical. Recreationally I'd put it above clonazolam (zero rec value for me and lasts WAY too long, still feel wobbly next morning), below etizolam (mild rec value, perfect for sleep) and diazepam (mild-moderate rec value, good for sleep but lasts forever), and about on par with alprazolam (very mild rec value, also good for sleep). The initial adjustment period was just a bit stupefying and not what I was expecting - probably a bit of "new chem jitters", anxiety about researching the new chemical, and maybe even a bit of placebo effect at work. But now that I'm used to it, it's pretty nice as an end of the evening chillaxin enhancer and sleep inducer. Going to crash now. Goodnight!
The next morning: I slept like the dead, which is great. I feel a little groggy still. I did redose another ~1/4 last night, because benzos, so maybe if I didn't do that, I'd not be so groggy. But as far as including DEEP sleep, it worked. So yay.
