I have a prescription for .5 mg xanax for sleep. I have horrible insomnia. I've been on this same dosage for several years, and even though the original .5 mg dose does not do a much anymore, my doc refuses to up the dose. Basically I end up taking  usually 2 tablets at at time. The end result being that my script runs out mid-month and I have nothing after that. 

That being said, without it I basically can't sleep more than a few hours because obviously now my body is used to having it each night. 

Here's my question:

I have some 1 mg extended release tablets laying around. But, I guess because of the mechanism and formula they don't work properly and I have barely had a decent night's sleep in days. Is there any way to remove the "extended release" bit and have it work like a normal instant release xanax? I know this topic has been discussed with other medications. I'm just not sure what to do. I've tried crushed it up, it helps a little, but not much. Like most modern extended release medications, it has "sticky" or gummy parts to it if you try chewing it, which is the extended release crap. 

Is there any way to counteract the extended release bits? Any help at all would be extremely helpful! I need sleep!  :Embarrassed:

 
In my experience with any extended release meds ... no matter how you break the shell it’s always extending.. that being said if you crack the nut .. it’s still the nut but possibly a little shorter acting? Maybe a little less harsh ... this is passed on my ultram ER I get at CVS . 

If I take a 1/4 it releases even quicker.. so in the past when I had to make a pill last longer I made it Tiny tiny bits and experimented . Sometimes I found the sweet spot .. sometimes I got a damn big headache 

i don’t know about Xan but somewhere I read about something funky called water distraction or something funky with pain pills when people separate out the tylonal?

no clue if that helped :(  I like zannaflex muscle relaxers . There is no benzo in them but they totally help me sleep 

 
Thanks for your help! The water distraction thing probably won't work, I think that's only for meds that you want to separate, such as Tylenol and oxycodone. Maybe I'll try a flexiril or something in the meantime. Those usually make me a bit drowsy. 

 
im shocked the xr dont work for you can take a day or two for halflife to build up. the xr have saved my  life allowed me to function normally. the high dose ir is too much a up-down blood level thing. one tip i have is always get brand. the .5mg brand are 4x or more potent and actually anti-anxiety the generic i got last month .5mg i could taken 10 of them and nothing no anti-anxiety and worse some generics just make me pass out that's not the molly. it's a very complex molecule to make i used to tour the upjohn labs as a kid in portage michigan and  saw giant vats f it made- no two brands alike hope helps

 
I have a prescription for 1mg extended release. They are yellow. I have no problem breaking and crushing them down into a powder. Just shoot it down and works about the same as IR

 
One thing I can tell you is that apparently a high fat meal with this specific formulation increases the amount of it that's absorbed which is high alone in itself to begin with. Preferably some small snack high in fat I like to eat Coconut Cream Piem myself personally. ^_^

From what I understand breaking it will speed things up but won't make things instant.

  1. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @nameofuser11 Lol, happens to the best of us my friend. I think plain leaf will remain pretty easy to access, and prices shouldn’t fluctuate too much. Read up on how to use btc if you don’t know already. It’s not rocket science :)
  2. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: I donated and I forgot how to get the password. I am a moron. Don't worry I have no plans on becoming a vendor with my stupidity
  3. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: @st1ckyf1ng4z you're right of course. But being able to purchase with a debit card on a clearnet site with quality labs and low prices will be gone.
  4. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: Especially if they’re using mitragynine as the parent alk to make substitutes. I think it will affect plain leaf too at the very least it will not be as available as it’s been.
  5. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MorfineOrfan @nameofuser11 That’s wild. But basic supply/demand tho, right? In my area all the leaf has been pulled off shelves,
  6. J @ j00ciiez: It sucks they're banning sr17. It seems to be a holy grail for many ppl.
  7. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: To clarify plain leaf kratom is not a part of this ban. Mitragynine might be fine. 7, psuedo,mgm15 and sr1708 are what are on the table to be banned most likely but hopefully just regulated.
  8. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: @st1ckyf1ng4z and yes , there are already indole alkoloids with tweaked scaffolding ready to take the place of 7/mgm, all with mitragynine as their parent alkoloid. The game of wack a mole starts the minute 7 is officially banned. Its 2013 K2 all over
  9. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MorfineOrfan Also, it’s just a matter of time before another alternative pops up on the market anyway….
  10. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MorfineOrfan I couldn’t agree more, bro. It’s fucked up. I recognize prices will rise, but it will always be available…. Stock up now while you can at least if you’re preferred read is opiates. As an ex-fentanyl addict I won’t ever touch any of that shit again. I remember when I started to see 7oh pop up, I knew it was going to end like this but I can understand getting rid of 7oh/mgm-15/16. With that being said, they should leave plain leaf alone!
  11. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: @st1ckyf1ng4z oh trust, i know that, im helping a pretty big vendor transition, to here and dnm , but prices are going to rise bc of risk. But availability is only part of this whole kratom alks situation. We have a serious problem with society. Last year alcohol killed 178,000 people, last year all other drugs combined killed 69,973 Out of those 38,084 were from opiate/opioids and out of those 0 were killed by 7oh. With these numbers we can see the problem with banning 7oh
  12. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Hell i remember when getting 25g of aphip was like 200$ or so
  13. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Dude wants $150 for 5g... I told him nahh doggy cmon.
  14. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Man im tryin to get this one kat to come off that apvp for 75$
  15. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Cant wait to get the apvp in
  16. token @ token: Afternoon everyone! Hope their day or night has been good!
  17. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: We need to takj bro
  18. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: @RiftChems Hey man PM me
  19. AlHoffman69 @ AlHoffman69: why does tails always act stupid at stupid times
  20. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MorfineOrfan @nameofuser11 @RiftChems @moai Just because they’re “banning/scheduling” something, doesn’t mean it’s not gonna be available. If you know where to look, it won’t be a problem.
