Xanax, also known as alprazolam, belongs to a class of medications called benzodiazepines, or benzos, which are typically prescribed to treat anxiety and insomnia. Benzos like Xanax and Valium are known as sedatives because they leave users feeling calm and relax their muscles after they enhance GABA neurotransmitter levels in the brain.
Xanax has been prescribed to treat a wide range of health conditions in addition to anxiety, including:
Xanax also can give users a high and can lead to passing out for a few hours when taken recreationally, which is appealing to many and explains why so many people become addicted to the drug. Xanax is the most popular psychiatric medication in the United States.
There are lots of reports that show people who abuse Xanax will also combine multiple substances, including alcohol. Alcohol can increase the effects of Xanax and allow users to feel euphoric for longer periods of time, as alcohol can slow down the body. Some people recovering from alcoholism will take Xanax to ease the withdrawal process, only to develop an addiction.
The more you abuse Xanax, the more dependent you can become on the drug. As the drug begins to wear off, people will eventually stop feeling the calm and relaxed sensations that it gives them. Though this is a different sensation than withdrawal, many don’t like the feeling and will immediately take more Xanax to achieve the same high they had before.
Xanax addictions can be dangerous because of their withdrawal symptoms. Some people experience symptoms like depression, which can initially seem harmless until they lead to thoughts of self-harm or suicide. Other symptoms include hallucinations, confusion, and seizures. When individuals are experiencing these symptoms alone, they can be fatal, especially if they’re having a seizure and no one is around to call for medical help.
Xanax addictions may not be immediately obvious, even to the person taking the drug, as they can develop in subtle ways over time. It’s important to know the signs of addiction so you can seek help before you put yourself or your loved one in any more danger.
