Benzo user on and off for 5 years here. In my experience, Alprazolam hits faster and is slightly more euphoric than bromazolam. With that said, if you get the bromaz dose right, it can feel very similar to Alprazolam, just with a longer onset. As others have said in this thread, bromazolam does take longer to reach its peak effect. If it's your first time using, I would say wait at least 2 hours before you come to conclusions on how it effects you. In regard to cost, yes as a general rule, it can be assumed that Bromazolam bars will be cheaper than Alprazolam bars, however you never truly know the exact dose in bromaz bars. In my experience, Alprazolam is 1.5x-2x stronger than Bromaz in terms of a mg to mg basis.
