Xanax is the Generic name for alprazolam The drugs proper name, was originally manufactured by Pfizer. Xanax is currently marketed under the generic name Xanax by several companies and the pills come if variety of colors and shapes, depending on which generic company produces it. Xanax is a drug under the benzodiazepine family (others include Valium, Librium, and Restoril) and is commonly used to treat anxiety. Xanax is considered habit forming by the Food and Drug Administration.

Xanax Addictive properties
Xanax is commonly recommended for short term or intermittent use, most patients with percriptions use it on a daily basis. They may have a condition that requires frequent use, or patients may self administer and increase their intake without medical advice. Because it takes more than 24 hours to clear the drug thru the body’s system, tolerance begins to build up over time and addiction can occur. Hence the phrase Xanax addiction
Like many addictive substances, when the drugs affect level falls below a certain threshold, symptoms begin to appear and another dose must be taken to return to ‘normal’. For anxiety, the patient no longer takes Xanax in response to anxiety caused by external factors, but for anxiety caused by not taking alprazolam. Xanax addiction develops gradually in the beginning.
This is also true when Xanax is taken as a sleep aid. Insomnia (the original problem) can occur simply because someone has become dependent on the drug.

    To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine…

    And those who don’t and are always seen with a bottle of water in their hand.

    As Ben Franklin said:

    In wine there is wisdom,

    In beer there is freedom,

    In water there is bacteria.

    In a number of carefully controlled trials,

    Scientists have demonstrated that if we drink

    1 litre of water each day,

    At the end of the year we would have absorbed

    More than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. Coli) – bacteria

    Found in feces.

    In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop.

    However,

    We do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor)

    Because alcohol has to go through a purification process

    Of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.

    Remember:

    Water = Poop,

    Wine = Health.

    Therefore, it’s better to drink wine and talk stupid,

    Than to drink water and be full of shit..

    There is no need to thank me for this valuable information:

    I’m doing it as a public service
