Injecting : Injecting xanax (alprazolam) mixed with water can kill you. Injecting a mixture of medication and water that is not sterilized can cause a life threating infection in your body. Also you are at risk for injecting an air embolism which can travel through your vessels into your brain and heart and cause instant death. Medications meant for oral use are never safe for injection.

You are crazy: If you think that any responsible physician would give you advice that could lead to your death. Injecting pills introduces talc, any number of contaminants, as well as a host of different germs into your venous system. It is dangerous, can lead to death, pulmonary embolism, heart valve infections, brain abscess, bone abscess, pneumonia and many other things. Stop now, get help.
