Xanax is a widely abused anti-anxiety med; that does have a short half life..which means it goes in your body; works and lowers anxiety ; but then when Xanax wears off in 4-5 hours; you can get get what is referred to as "rebound anxiety"; and you feel even more nervous; so you take more Xanax; and feel better, until that wears off....on and on it goes..>>>more and more Xanax..>.people sometimes have to go to real detox centers to get off the prescription med Xanax...>
And Xanax works on receptors in the brain as alcohol does..>>they should not be combined with alcohol.....
If a physician thinks you are drinking; they should never Rx Xanax..>>many M.D.'s refuse to Rx Xanax due to its addictive properties..
