Xanax is a fast-acting benzodiazepine that relaxes your
emotions and muscles by affecting chemicals in the brain. Xanax (alprazolam)
helps treat anxiety and panic disorders. It is available in various forms, such
as Green Xanax,
Yellow Xanax,
and White Xanax.
Yellow Xanax
is also known as school bus drugs or school bus pills. All the forms of Xanax
work similarly in treating panic and anxiety disorders. Take Xanax precisely as
per the doctor's recommendation. Read carefully and follow all the directions
on the prescription label and medication guide. Occasionally, your doctor may
change your dosage. Never take Xanax
in smaller or larger amounts or for longer than recommended. Consult your
doctor or any other medical staff if you feel an increased desire to take this
medicine. Never share this drug with someone else, especially someone with a
past of drug abuse or addiction. Misuse of medication like
Xanax can cause overdose, addiction, or death.
Xanax
school buses are available in the dosage forms of 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1
mg, and 2 mg. Its dosage varies from disorder to disorder. The usual initial
Xanax (alprazolam) for anxiety disorders is 0.25 mg to 0.5 mg three times a
day. And, the typical initial Xanax (alprazolam)
dose for panic disorder is 0.5 mg to 1 mg one time daily. Your medical
healthcare provider may change your dosage depending on how you respond to this
drug's initial phase of treatment. Swallow the whole Xanax XR
(extended-release) tablet rather than crushing, chewing, or breaking it.
Doctors usually recommend taking Xanax
for a maximum period of four months to treat anxiety disorder and for a full
ten weeks to treat panic disorder. Do not suddenly stop taking Xanax, or you
may face unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Follow your doctor's directions
regarding tapering your dosage.
