Yeah why is it so hard to die from xanax?
My brother is a decent sized guy and he gets loopy if he takes .5mgs.
He has a small number the doctor gives him before he makes presentations at work several times a month. .25 does the trick.
In my younger days I maxed out at 20mgs in a day.
Xanax and other benzodiazepines don't depress respiration to the extent that opioids and barbiturates do.
I'm not sure most people understand that if you find someone who is not breathing or barely breathing due to an overdose of barbiturates or opioids, that you should start CPR on them immediately while you wait for the ambulance. If they get enough oxygen, they can probably survive.

That's a lot. Much more than I ever took. Xanax helped me deal with my insomnia, but I decided that I liked its effects a little too much. I haven't used it in many years.
