What is Xanax addiction?
Xanax is a benzodiazepine often prescribed for depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders. Benzodiazepines work by calming the central nervous system. Xanax is safe and effective when used according to a doctor’s prescription.
However, Xanax does have addictive properties and can lead to dependence. This is called a Xanax addiction. This type of drug addiction affects Americans from all walks of life. If you believe you have an addiction to Xanax, talk to our compassionate experts today. We can access your dependence and determine if treatment at our facility is best for you.
Signs everyone should know
Usually, the first sign of a Xanax addiction is building a tolerance toward it. This means once a user is addicted, he or she needs more Xanax to feel its effects. When there’s not enough of the drug in a user’s system, they experience withdrawal. This leads the user to take unsafe amounts of the drug.
Signs of Xanax withdrawal can include:
- headaches
- nausea
- vomiting
- profuse sweating
- blurred vision
- convulsions
If you or someone you know experience these symptoms and is taking Xanax, talk to an addiction specialist right away.
How addictive is Xanax?
Benzodiazepines, including Xanax, can be highly addictive. About 4 out of 10 regular Xanax users end up addicted to the drug.
