A member asked:

Xanax (alprazolam) addiction: what should i do to overcome this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a professional: Benzodiazepine addiction, the class of drugs to which xanax (alprazolam) belongs, can be very serious, and sudden cessation of the drug, or tapering it too quickly can result in seizures, cardiovascular stress and delirium. Longer-acting medications can be subsituted and gradually tapered, both inpatient and outpatient. Psychological counseling is critical to deal with why you need them so much.
