like I said above, if it works for u. Awesome but I still disagree when ur not a dr and even so to be recommending people to take such drugs and to be aware Inless it’s a big issue to know the medium and what the risks are but also use them only if needed ( like yourself )

For people who struggle with anxiety, feeling relaxed and at peace can be an addictive sensation. Doctors prescribe Xanax as needed, but someone with anxiety may take alprazolam more often, even regularly, because they feel like they need it to be normal. This is a form of prescription drug misuse or abuse.

Taking the drug specifically to feel relaxed or happy is abuse, and it can lead to addiction to the substance.

Finally, Xanax is very risky because it is often mixed with other drugs. This practice is extremely dangerous since Xanax can increase the intoxication of other substances.

People who take prescription opioids to treat pain may mix these drugs with Xanax, which increases their risk of accidental overdose. If you take a prescription medication and your doctor wants to prescribe Xanax for as-needed anxiety management, let them know what other prescription drugs you are taking before you begin Xanax treatment.

Nonmedical use of opioids and benzodiazepines like Xanax has been a serious and risky feature of the opioid addiction and overdose epidemic. More than 30 percent of opioid overdoses involve benzodiazepines, according to NIDA. Drinking alcohol on top of these drugs is even more harmful and too common.

How Addictive is Xanax Really (and Why)

Xanax is an important as-needed treatment for anxiety and panic disorders, but it can also be addictive and lead to dependence.

if Xanax was a cure for the issue than these companies would never ever sell it cause they want you to be so dependent but addicted for life. these modes of action are not good but also make the user a addict and also more prone to the issue just like anti depression drugs or pain killers

if cannabis is addictive for u it’s ur self addicted it’s not physical . Ur pill is hints why u think a proven and def cemented in shoipd only be used temp and addictive and mind alt drug is fixing ur anxiety when u prolly wouldn’t even have it without this decade run with a mind alt bad drug. It’s like a pain pill, it should only be used for temp use and whatcha know ur only doing it later for the fix of if, it’s not fun and all ur being is a junkie to the substance. Cannabis doesn’t do that and I’m def not gonnea do real junkies and addicts will do for their drugs or think a mind alt drug like Xanax . I know sooo many people and seen who are def addicts as same level as meth on stuff ur talking about so I’m good and their dr did and was the entry to the drugs . Trust me the opioid crisis was from our dr’s and they def didn’t look out for the their costumers like many issues.

blame cannabis all u want but I’m not paranoid or anxious all day if don’t miss a hit or not smoke . That’s addiction is when u can’t and the high isn’t even there but ur just trying to fix the addiction. never got that from cannabis , even food like junk food can do that or sugar but not cannabis

OP,
Been there....Done that! Yeah, it happens that too much of a dose all at once can put you into a spin. I have gotten there from licking the mixing bowl after making some brownies. It wasn't a feeling of being high. It was just very uncomfortable. The best advice I ever got for dealing with that, is to just take some deep breaths....count to five as you inhale....count to five as you exhale....repeat. Others like to walk/run/jog it off. I haven't had that happen in quite awhile, though. I used to smoke all the time, but it got to the point where being high was my norm, and not being high was the occasional thing. I had to quit for a few years just to re-set. Now, I basically "micro-dose" weed or concentrates -meaning one hit per session and that each hit is very small and easy to handle. I try to have things to do so that I don't just sit around and think too much.
In all honesty, weed isn't for everyone. Some people don't like the way it makes them feel at all and they tend to get the panic/paranoia feeling from it. My older brother is that way. The solution for him was just to not smoke.
I think I have learned that weed typically works to enhance whatever mood I'm in. It usually doesn't "change" my mood from one thing to another. But everyone is different.

Uh-oh. I'm suffering from the same problem and the panic attacks have taken over my life. It all started 1 day when I smoked some high potency weed and I haven't been the same since. I even went to the hospital because I thought I was dying. I've been suffering from weed induced panic attacks for the last few years now. At 1 point I was having panic attacks back to back all day long for months and months and it only got worse and worse. I can't even leave the house anymore due to how bad the panic attacks got. It's really messed my life up. It's ruined my life. The only thing that helps me to get rid of the panic attacks is by drinking alcohol. The doctor gave me some Benzodiazepines but I haven't bothered taking them because I heard if you drink alcohol and take them it can cause your breathing to stop. All I can say is over the past 6 months my panic attacks have got a little bit better and I don't get them as much now so there is Hope. But when I smoke too much weed I still do get the odd 1 or 2 panic attacks and I still can't really leave the house that much. The panic attacks have gave me Agoraphobia and I'm not sure how to fix it. I guess it's a mental health problem I will have to deal with for the rest of my life now. I'm just glad the panic attacks are not as bad as they were 2 years ago. Sometimes I even have panic attacks when I'm not even smoking too. The worst part of having a panic attack is feeling like you are dying everytime you have a panic attack. It's the worst possible feeling Ever. If you ever find a real fix for the panic attacks let me know because I am desperate to get back to normal again.

Ima touch on this.

Youre not wrong but youre not right either.
Youre blurring lines.

Xanax is not "often" with other drugs, people who abuse said benzos sometimes mix them, that doesnt mean samwise who uses his medication properly is abusing them. Youre mixing actual drug abusers with people who use the medication correctly than labelling someone who follows directions and doesnt abuse as an abuser than throwing fear at them.

"Taking the drug specifically to feel relaxed or happy is abuse,"

He is not taking the drug to "feel relaxed or happy" hes taking it to minimize legitmate disorder which causes severe physical and emotional side effects.
That is not abuse, that is using your medication as required, additionally hes not taking it daily therefore it snot dependency which for the record dependency and abuse are different.

Youre mixing ideas of opiates and benzos together and spewing just a bunch of heathline.net information without actual backing.

This is why we have such a stigma with mental health disorders and medications and youre basically just throwing that all back at samwise instead of realizing theres a large other component to it of people who use certain medications responsibly

The first page did say by a user who was saying he mixed booz and rx. Its a big rec and thing people do abd abuse. People like many things start to correct issue and than it becomes their addicted fix. Point was that drug does stinulates same as booz and that mix which is popular is def used and very dangerous

I'm pretty sure the OP was talking about "greening out" -the all-too-common experience that most marijuana users go through at some point....right? That's what I thought they were referring to.
