anxiety while tripping

I plan on consuming an 8th of cubes, but don't want to feel any anxiety going into the trip.
How much would a small dose of xanax (2-3mg) bring down the mushroom trip?
Another idea I had was to just eat the 8th and if I can't handle it just pop a few bars to bring it down.
Never tripped before, only ate 2gs on 2 separate occasions where I experienced minor visuals and a nice body high.

DO NOT EAT XANAX AND MUSHROOMS.
please. enjoy the fungi for what it is. there may be some rough times, but it is a learning experience. if you run from the fear you are running from yourself.
not to mention that taking xanny will pretty much nullify the whole experience

Hey there,
I find that either kava kava or smoking some good weed will help anxiety going into a mushroom trip. Neither will reduce the level of the trip, but will make you feel relaxed and excited about your changing perceptions. The weed will reduce any nausea that you may experience, as well.
Good luck and have a beautiful trip!

OK, but get this, i enjoy a small dose a weed, like a few hits, but if i smoke like more than 2 bowls i get these really strange paranoid feelings.
When i take 3mg of xanax, I could smoke a whole oz and be stoned as hell, without the uncomfortable feelings i get without the xanax.
I just get extremely nervous when im about to eat the mushrooms, and if i was on like 3mg xanax, i wouldn't have any anxiety.
I just wonder how much it would dull the experience?

I guess the best thing i could (and should) do is just eat the fungi an have a strong positive mind set. and if things start turning bad, ill pop those bars

If things turn bad try and change the setting first, go outside, put on some good music, talk to a friend. The xanax should be an absolute last result, because it will severely dampen the hallucinogenic effects of the mushrooms. mixing xanny and weed is completely different than mixing it with psilocybin. seriously just try riding out the bad parts and you will learn more about yourself than you ever have.

OK, When I eat the shrooms, should I just not think about what's going to happen, and just chill out and watch tv, or browse the interweb or just walk around in nature

Dude, don't be afraid about what's going to happen! It's an awesome experience. Tell your uneasy or questionable thoughts to fuck off, and just BE. I have problems with anxiety as well... I'm almost always uncomfortable when I smoke pot. Just try to quiet the mind.

anxiety before dosing is a constant with me. if it's too great, i take it as a hint that i shouldn't trip. on the other hand, sometimes it's an indicator of how badly i need to trip :-)
2 things help me with anxiety on the comeup, first 45 minutes or so:
1. earplugs. somehow deep silence, the sound of your breath and heartbeat are much more comforting than ambient noise. all kinds of little noises sketch me out on the comeup.
2. rescue remedy. this is an herbal tincture indicated for emotional distress. take a couple drops under the tongue. the theory behind its operation is a bit questionable if you are scientifically inclined (to say the least) but a) it seems to work on pets, so how could it be placebo effect? and b) so what if it is a placebo effect?

Kava has always been my favorite form of anxiety control for tripping.

my biggest issue is anxiety before tripping
during the trip i'm fine,
but i cannot bring myself to even take the stuff anymore
taking anxiety meds or anything like that is just silly though.
why trip in the first place if you're just gonna have a plan to sabotage it.
