Do you have a loved one displaying signs of Xanax Addiction

Xanax addiction is extremely common in those who use it as a means of getting high. That’s not to say that people who are using it on the up and up do not become addicted to this drug.

This drug can be bought illegally from an online store or off the street. It is called benzo's on the street and classified under benzodiazepine. It operates by working on the central nervous system and makes the brain transmitters slow down.

This medication induces a peaceful, drowsy state if used likes it's supposed to be. An addiction to xanax happens because it gives the user an elated effect which can be raised if the pills are made into powder and snorted. Addicts often find it hard keep the first feeling of relaxation so they continue to ingest more so the body becomes tolerant of the high dosages.

Sooner or later, what begins as a mental craving ends as a brutal chemical reliance or an addiction to xanax.

Signs and symptoms of an addiction to Xanax

Some signs of a Xanax withdrawal include: cramps, nausea, no appetite, diarrhea, difficulty concentrating, weak coordination, drowsiness, and slurred speech. A few withdrawal symptoms that may occur if the user stops taking the pills all of a sudden are trouble sleeping, anxiety attacks, nausea, and heart palpitations.

Getting through xanax withdrawal may require detox

After a problem is determined the abuser has a few choices for treatment. Detox is the opening move to deal with  xanax withdrawal symptoms. This is done with supervision and followed by a complete medical evaluation and formulation of a treatment course.

How to beat xanax

For the ones who desire to quit taking xanax there is assistance for drug addiction help. One treatment is a short term detoxification process usually done as in-patient in a rehab clinic or hospital or long-term rehab as outpatient treatment or therapy.

If you have been taking this drug for years and suddenly stop or run out you should seek help at once even if it means going to the ER because withdrawal from xanax or any other benzodiazepines can be dangerous.

If you plan to stop in the future now would be the time to set up an appointment to enter some type of drug rehab.

Another significant step is counseling to ensure long-run success and prevention of potential relapse.  Addiction to these medications are really very serious. Those who have prescriptions for this drug need to be aware of side-effects and the high-risk of getting addicted.

If you or a loved one is suffering from an addiction to them I suggest that you seek help before you do something really stupid. That’s right I said stupid if you are a really heavy abuser of this drug I am sure you know what I mean. I can tell you this I have done some insane stuff while under the influence of mass amounts from taking mass amounts.

Good luck
