Xanax or Alprazolam, which can be prescribed for anxiety, can be a very dangerous medication (and hard to stop), particularly if taken in excess, taken with alcohol or other sedatives, or taken not as prescribed. It's incredibly important that if patients are prescribed this medication and feel that it's becoming a problem, they speak with their medical professional. Any patient on this medication should review the risks and benefits in detail with their prescriber.
