taking xanax a few hours before acid trip?

I was going to take some xanax before just to help with the nerves of my.first trip and to keep my heart rate down. Will that work? Or is that a bad idea?
Mod Edit: fixed that post up.

Bad idea, the xanax will dull or completely negate the trip.

Depends on your tolerance and how each effect you regularly. Are you new to LSD? If you don't know what to expect in a LSD trip already it will probably dull the effects enough into you thinking its a weak trip or something.
I take benzo's regularly and there were times where I wanted to trip but didn't want to get to far out there and would take my prescribed klonopin a bit before dosing and it was smooth transition into the trip with no negative thoughts.
I know what to expect when doing LSD so it's easier for me to distinguish

Saying that xanax will negate a trip is just flat wrong.
I (now)take xanax during EVERY SINGLE TRIP. Never once has it negated or weakened my trip. My usual dose is 1mg taken with my mush/lsd, and another 1-2mg during the trip as I see fit. Keep in mind I have a tolerance to benzos, and 1mg would only make me mildly sleepy, if at all. It would take 2-3mg taken all at once to knock me out.
I first started taking alprozolam when I used lsd. The tension of the come up, or the body load, could easily sour an entire trip for me. After 2.5 years of once-every-three-days lsd trips(and a bad batch of wow's along with a bunch of 25i blotters), I switched to mush. I now only trip 1-2 times per year, off mush that I grow myself.
I find that my visuals on mush (and to a lesser extent, lsd) are much smoother when I have some alprozolam in my system. Without it I find my visuals are often very jagged, rough, and flow way too fast for me. Taking a xanax during my trip smooths it out for me, and helps everything to flow. It also helps me go to sleep when everything is winding down.
Its personal preference if you want to take it with your trip or not. And the only way to find out if you like it is to trip once without it and once with it and see what you like better

Honestly, save the xanax. If you have a completely intolerable bad trip, you can use it to dull or maybe even abort the trip... But being nervous is common. I have tripped a good number of times and it still gets me all worked up and nervous each and every time. The come up is going to suck a little, but once you're peaking you should be having a blast. I wouldn't recommend xanax though because you're going to miss out on the point of tripping. A little vulnerability while tripping is good for the mind. You'll learn a lot

Benzo's will weaken trips regardless of the dreck Chuck is posting. Pills have negated my trips before and i'm very seasoned, tons of posts here that are based on personal experience that detail the reduction in trips.

Dosage advice for xanax in TPE but the thread is not moved or locked? There is even direct dosage advice.

Pfffft that wasn't really dosage advice, I read the thread and responded to it. How do you know that I did not warn the the poster? You aren't staff so you don't 
There are plenty of posts about how benzo's react in regards to psychedelics in this forum, this is yet another. The OP wasn't requesting dosage advice, he was simply asking if Xanax would reduce the effects of his trip and benzo's do just that. In the worst case this thread is guilty of being a repeat post of a topic made a thousand times over in this forum. You are over policing this thread healing.
I went ahead and edited out all the iffy content in your post and the others. If the post gets out of hand, other mods, or myself will deal with it. If you continue to police this thread i'll remove you from it as well healing.

I keep a benzo around when tripping just in case things go south for one of my buddies or me. It pretty much kills the trip.

My comment wasn't really dosage advice...all I was trying to say is that half a bar is way too much for a benzo trip.

I took a non-benzo that acts just like one (Eszopiclone) right before 2 of my last 3 oral DMT trips (same dose each time) during the come-up. My trips only lasted about 2 hours but I felt amazing and more capable of enjoying/navigating the effects. The third trip I didn't take any and while there was a little anxiety there and got confused at times, the trip was like 4-5 hours. I think next time I will try Kava and/or Ashwagandha beforehand and see if I can get that anxiety relief feeling without lessening the duration of my trip.
Keep in mind this is a non-benzo and DMT not a benzo and LSD. But Eszopiclone acts on the same receptors (I think) so probably some similarity there.

Benzos have the opposite affect to psychedelics basically. I'm Not saying this scientifically speaking but in regards to the experience.
Either don't take the benzos or don't take the acid. Maybe take less acid if your worried? Also if your taking it with others and you take benzos you won't be on their level mentally and that's just not as fun.
If you don't want to feel the full effects of the LSD then don't take it or take less, adding more drugs seems silly and isn't the right way to think about it.

i have a long history of benzo use, not as long as my LSD useage though. and at first they seemed to completely kill the trip.
however if you are prescribed them, or are a heavy user i would just wait to dose them until after you trip, and you should be straight IMO/IME
i take clonazepam(script), and i usually dont dose them till the night anyway, they have a long fucking half-life, clonazepam does anyway so im sure its built up in my system, and at this point taking a solid dose feels JUST as magical as it used to.
im pretty sure if i took them like the morning before i trip though i might have to take a little more to get the same effect.
POINT BEING, probably not great to take alprazolam just before. everyone has had that trip the NEEDED, or REALLY wished to abort. save it for that.

The best acid trip I've ever had was when I took 3 Xanax bars and 4 hits and it was the most meaningful trip I've ever had so calm so loving so happy. I only wish that I could spend the rest of my life in that one trip if not eternity

Just save the xanex for when your trip goes wrong. Pointless taking it before your trip, you'll just dull the effects.

Its up to you man, but I have done it a couple times with good experience. I have taken 3mgs of xanax spread out from before to the end of a trip on 2 tabs of Pink Floyd LSD and it was great. It didnt seem to make the trip any less at all, it just made my nerves settled a lot so i was not experiencing any anxiety and i got to enjoy the experience even more. However idk how xanax or LSD affect you. I can eat 8-10mgs of xanax easy, and I have eaten 16mgs at once and did not pass out. It all depends on the person, just saying what works for me.

would tripping only while on benzos somehow trick your brain into thinking that it needs benzos all the time to make you feel relaxed and happy? what i like about psychedelics is that they make you face things you don't want to face and by doing so you overcome them. maybe by tricking your brain into getting a forced pleasurable experience it'll associate that pleasure with the benzo and it'll make you almost need it everytime you trip or even while sober. does this make sense?

This thread has been closed.
Reason: Alright this is getting to sketchy with people continually posting dosage stuff. I wish people were a bit smarter in here at times. I hope you got the answer you were looking for OP.
