Xanax detox
About xanax.
Alprazolam, also known as Xanax, is a benzodiazepine medication that is commonly used to treat clinically significant anxiety and panic disorder. Xanax produces a calming effect on the central nervous system and the brain by enhancing natural chemicals in the body. Xanax is also prescribed as a muscle relaxant, sleep aid and anti-seizure medication.
Xanax is commonly used in conjunction with other drugs, such as opiates, heroin, and methamphetamines as well as alcohol. The combination of Xanax with other drugs can produce a fatal effect. Of the benzodiazepines, Xanax is the most commonly misused and abused prescriptions drug.
Xanax is a highly addictive controlled substance and should only be taken under medical supervision. Currently, benzodiazepines and other illicit narcotics are being sold on the streets pressed or cut with other drugs such as fentanyl. The likelihood of purchasing Xanax off the street with a lethal amount of fentanyl is very high with an extreme risk of overdose or death.

Xanax detoxification can be dangerous and should not be attempted outside of a professional detoxification center or hospital. Xanax withdrawal symptoms may include but are not limited to tremors, anxiety, agitation, insomnia, irritability, nausea, vomiting, delirium tremens, hallucinations and mental confusion. Severe withdrawal symptoms may include seizures, respiratory depression, and possible death if symptoms are not being monitored and/or properly treated in a professional setting. It is highly recommended to seek professional assistance when detoxing from any benzodiazepine including Xanax.
