Xanax
Xanax is a sedative similar to Valium. It has become one of the top selling drugs in the United States with approximately 30 million prescriptions for Xanax being written each year. Xanax (aprazolam) and other depressants are widely available and abused in all regions of the country. Depressants are prescribed for legitimate purposes - used to treat anxiety, panic attacks, and sleep disorders, yet they are abused primarily for their sedative and euphoric effects.
Xanax Use and Abuse
Many young people abuse Xanax in combination with alcohol or other depressants, while others will use it to come down after a night of using uppers such as cocaine or crystal meth. The misuse of Xanax to counter the effects of abusing other drugs is very dangerous yet increasing in popularity among many young people.
Xanax Addiction
Xanax addiction is always a risk following any long-term use of this drug. Estimations show that one third of individuals that have taken Xanax for a year will be unable to discontinue its use, or will go through prolonged and uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. Once you have discovered that you cannot stop using Xanax, the addiction process has already begun. Xanax addiction is a greater risk for individuals that have taken higher dosages and/or for an extended period of time.
Withdrawal from Xanax Addiction
An abrupt discontinuation of Xanax will result in withdrawal symptoms in individuals that have become drug dependent. Xanax withdrawal symptoms may include: appetite decrease and weight loss, blurred vision, clouded sensory perception, altered sense of smell, diarrhea, heightened sensory perception, impaired concentration, muscle cramps and muscle twitches.
In some cases of abrupt Xanax discontinuation the symptoms can be severe. Grand Mall seizures have been reported as a result in some cases. The secret to safe withdrawal is to have professional assistance from qualified professionals.
