Introduction
Xanax (alprazolam) is an anxiety drug for oral administration. Xanax is used to treat anxiety disorders. Xanax is primarily based for panic disorder.
Suitability
Xanax is suitable for those who are 18 years plus. Xanax is not recommended for adolescents or women who are pregnant. Whilst Xanax can be used on minors, the facts for increased seizure far surpasses it use over other drugs.
Dosage
The recommended dosage is 1 - 10mg per day, however; the more common dosages for treatment of PTSD could be much higher than the recommended dosage per day.
Side Effects
All drugs have possible side effect/s, which need to be taken into consideration when being prescribed.
You have approximately a 1:2 chance of having side effect/s with Xanax from the clinical studies performed.
Xanax has the following possible side effects:
Certain adverse clinical events, some life-threatening, are a direct consequence of physical dependence to alprazolam. These include a spectrum of withdrawal symptoms; the most important is seizure. Even after relatively short-term use at the doses recommended for the treatment of transient anxiety and anxiety disorder, there is some risk of dependence.
Spontaneous reporting system data suggest that the risk of dependence and its severity appear to be greater in patients treated with doses greater than 4 mg/day and for long periods (more than 12 weeks).
Patients should be advised to notify their physician if they become pregnant or intend to become pregnant during therapy.
Patients should be advised to notify their physician if they are breast feeding an infant.
