Gee, I wonder why you're addicted...xanax isn't a drug to get a buzz on...it's not like Valium, hydro or norco...it's just anti-anxiety pill, but if abused like you are, no wonder you need it. You're chemically and psychologically addicted.

I've suffered from anxiety since I was a child. I'm 38 years old now and the only thing that controls my anxiety attacks is xanax. I do not like to take it because I'm terrified of becoming addicted to it. I've researched and xanax addiction is as bad as any other addiction and can kill you. Do people abuse this drug and become dependant on it? Is there any other drugs out there that are not addictive for anxiety?

As with any drug, Xanax can be abused. You can die from taking too much Advil too...I suffer from anxiety and take Xanax in a very small dose before bed every night. I have done so for a few years now. As long as you take your prescribed dose (and nothing more), and you are under the supervision of a doctor, you should be fine. With any sort of drug that deals with brain functionality, you cannot just stop taking it either. That could bring on panic attacks or severe depression. You have to taper off gradually with the direction of your physician. All drugs you take on a daily basis run the risk of creating dependency. Some medications people do have to take for the rest of their life, every case is different.

Xanax addiction is especially dangerous because Xanax addiction often begins with a prescription from a doctor. Xanax addiction is a common side-effect of the prescription drug Alprazolam. The drug is a central nervous system depressant and Xanax addiction occurs when the drug is abused beyond its prescribed purposes. Used to treat many disorders from anxiety to stress, Xanax addiction results in the overuse of the drug to suppress unwanted feelings. Whether the drug is taken every night to fall asleep or continually throughout the day to remain calm, Xanax addiction progresses quickly and has become a serious health problem for many people.
