i don't think there really is anything to compare it too....to me it's like being really fucking drunk without the spins or the hangovers...i sleep like a fuckin rock when i do go to sleep, i get really goofy (which i get the same way on alcohol) and i do have quite a few memory lapses....usually the 2-3 hours of the peak i can't really remember much of....like the whole night i'll know everythign that happened...but when i wake up the next day about all i can remember is that i took xanax, the memories do slowly come back.... and i dunno why but i kinda like the feeling of not remembering what happened right when i wake up...
