Why is Xanax addicting?

Answer 1

Yes, it is.

It's very easy to get addicted to, and causes stress in the brain. After several years, your body becomes immune to it and it has little or no effect at all. It'll mess with your brain after a while, too. You'll lost train of thought easier and you'll do things you normally wouldn't do. I'd say taking a different anxiety pill would be much better for you.

Answer 2

depends if you like it or not.

Very addictive! Even a week or two of using it regularly may provoke very unpleasant withdrawal symptoms which may last for a few months. A good news is that after you get through the withdrawals you do not develop any physical dependance on the drug. And to avoid severe withdrawals, you have to decrease your doses gradually.

Answer 3

It's hard to say. Although Lorazepam (Ativan) is said to be more addictive, if you're using the drugs recreationally Alprazolam (Xanax) definitely packs a bigger punch in terms of the "high". Ativan is more like just being tranquil and relaxed, whereas Xanax gives you quite a rush. The euphoria is definitely more pronounced. Recreationally, I find Xanax to be much more addictive, however the facts state that Ativan is the more addictive of the two.

Answer 4

Xanax is addicting since the drug is quick acting. Xanax is a prescription only drug given by doctors or other health care providers.
