Among the number of benzodiazepines that are prescribed in the United States, Xanax is perhaps the most well-known drug. Though it’s generally prescribed to help people treat their anxiety, insomnia, and panic disorders, it’s also one of the most commonly abused and accessible drugs – 70% of teens who are addicted to Xanax get the drug straight from their family’s medicine cabinet. Xanax is also extremely addictive, and up to 40 percent of those who take benzodiazepines like Xanax end up developing an addiction. Cedar Oaks Wellness Center offers both inpatient and detox programs for clients so we can meet you where you’re at in your recovery. Located on 120 acres in a secluded Cincinnati getaway, our campus is ideal for clients who are ready to look inward and begin healing.
People who have developed addictions to Xanax may find themselves taking up to 20 or even 30 pills a day to regain the same high they felt before they developed a tolerance to the drug. You may come to realize that you have an addiction once you develop withdrawal symptoms after going a length of time without using, such as insomnia, tremors, anxiety, and restlessness.
Other symptoms of Xanax addiction to be aware of include:
If you suspect someone you care about has a Xanax addiction, there are additional signs to be aware of. For instance, if your loved one is lying about their Xanax use, is using it in large quantities, or is using the drug without a prescription, they may be abusing the drug.
Some people struggling with addiction will also take Xanax with other drugs or alcohol to intensify the high, which can be extremely dangerous and fatal. People who combine Xanax with other drugs are more likely to overdose, requiring emergency medical attention that includes stomach pumping or medication administration. After a Xanax overdose, doctors may administer medication like flumazenil or an IV to give the person the fluids they need to recover.
Some common Xanax drug combinations include:
