Xanax is in a class of prescription drugs called benzodiazepines. Benzodiazepines, or “benzos,” act on the central nervous system (CNS) to produce a sedative effect. Xanax is used to treat several conditions, including anxiety, insomnia, and panic disorder. Doctors may also use it to calm or sedate patients before an uncomfortable procedure or surgery.
Some people abuse Xanax to get high, but it’s more common for people to start using it for legitimate reasons and then get hooked. Since Xanax blots out pain and anxiety and helps you sleep, the drug can easily become a crutch. Xanax addiction can eventually become all-consuming.
Xanax is particularly dangerous when mixed with other CNS depressants, like alcohol or opioids. More than 30 percent of overdoses involving opioids also involve benzodiazepines, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).
If you or a loved one is struggling with Xanax addiction, recovery is possible with the right help.
First, it’s important to understand the difference between Xanax addiction and Xanax dependency. You can be addicted without being dependent, and vice versa.
Addiction means you feel an overwhelming urge to the use the drug, and act on that urge, despite negative consequences. Dependency means you experience Xanax withdrawal symptoms, like anxiety or headaches, when you stop taking the drug.
The signs of Xanax addiction are largely behavioral and psychosocial, while the signs of dependency are more physical.
If you’re trying to quit benzodiazepines, it’s important to get professional help. Xanax withdrawal effects can be uncomfortable and even dangerous.
