In reply to XANAX could give Euphoria (elation)?, posted by neo on January 9, 2005, at 18:57:53
hey neo,
i've been on xanax 1mg 4x a day for over a year. i've never had any elation, but i definitely prefer it over klonopin or ativan. for me, it's less sedating than klonopin, and in this dose, which is probably high, it doesn't make me depressed as klonopin did when i took it as my primary benzo.
i've never experienced euphoria, but recently, i had a consultation with a dr who is known to be an expert in mood and anxiety disorders. he gave me a little bit of a hard time about xanax because he said it (the elation possibility, i guess) causes rapid cycling in bipolars. he said the same thing about tricyclic antidepressants, though, and i've chosen to kind of blow off his opinion. if it works for you, what does it matter if the rest of the world has a different reaction? good luck!
