Xanax is a prescribed medicine which aids those suffering from anxiety disorders and panic disorders. It's a member of the benzodiazepine group, which has a calming effect by stimulating your brain and the nerves (central nervous system).
Xanax can be purchased in many types, including tablets that dissolve orally (a tablet that dissolves rapidly inside the mouth), extended-release tablets, and a concentrated solution (liquid) to be administered orally. Be aware of the different types and strengths prior to taking it.
Xanax is a drug that can cause dependence. Improper Xanax use may result in overdose, addiction, or death.
Avoid mixing the Xanax medication with opioids or alcohol. There are also medications that can cause drowsiness or slow breathing, and serious side effects can happen.
