Get the xanaar mug.An extended period of excessive, recreational usage of the popular anxiety medication xanax, typically lasting for several days, though in some cases much longer. These benders are marked by short- and long-term memory loss, blackouts, binge eating, exhaustion, slurred speech, lowered inhibitions, impaired decisionmaking abilities, and bizarre behavior.
Bro, that xanax bender was so insane, I don't remember anything that happened the entire weekend!
After waking up naked in the woods behind his dorm, Jim knew the xanax bender had gone too far, yet he felt powerless to stop it.

Get the xanax bender mug.a safe medication when used under a psychiatrist's care. i take it daily, and never feel any of the effects described in any of these entries.
i've had a history of panic attacks since childhood, and this drug allows me to function at a high level - and basically do things normal people can do. without it i was a social recluse and could barely leave the house.
i'm an alcoholic (sober) and you cannot compare .25 milligrams of this to whiskey. whiskey made me insane, this simple allows me to live and function.
additive - yes! stop under a doctor's care.

Get the Xanadu mug.A very potent benzodiazepine. Often referred to as a "minor" tranquilizer , it is really anything but. Typically prescribed for anxiety and panic disorder. Dependence ensues quickly even at therapeutic doses , resulting in what is considered to be one of the worst withdrawal syndromes by the medical community when abruptly discontinued.
The relatively low dose , when compared to the other benzodiazepines , is actually quite deceptive. The general concensus on therapeutic doseage equivalency among benzodiazepines is as follows:
.5mg xanax
1 mg Ativan
.5 mg klonopin
10 mg diazepam , Valium
25 mg. Librium , Chlordiazepoxide
As you can see , 2mgs of xanax is really not a small dose at all. It is equal to 4 10mg valium! Despite the fact that most doctors would never prescribe that much Valium , patients are far too often put on corresponding doses of xanax , and unknowingly become extremely dependent on the drug.
The benzodiazepines are habit forming. W/D can be quite serious ,is of the alcohol type , and can lead to seizures and death if not managed medically.
