any medication can be highly addictive
Anxiety and depression are both disorders that are highly treatable. A variety of medications, including benzodiazepines and antidepressants, are used in the treatment of anxiety disorders. But medication is most effective when combined with behavioral therapy.
The best and most effective anxiety treatment is to avoid medication and seek to identify the causes of the anxiety themselves. Often with a change in diet, habit and lifestyle, anxiety will subside without side-effect.
No, Xanax is not a barbiturate. It's a member of a family called benzodiazepines (like Valium, Ativan, etc...). It has definite addictive potential. It is an anti-anxiety medication, when used as prescribed it is relatively safe. Check with your physician or pharmacist for details and avoid alcohol when using this medication as the effects can be dangerous.
It all depends on the person if medication or counseling will be the thing to help them with anxiety. Medication is really not the answer though. Medication will only treat the patient, but not cure.
