Can You Get Addicted to Xanax?
Yes, it is possible to get addicted to xanax.
Xanax is a benzodiazepine medication that is often prescribed to people with severe anxiety. It is very powerful, which is why doctors typically do not recommend for people to take it every day. They typically prescribe it on an as-needed basis.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, more than 30% of opioid overdoses also involve the use of benzodiazepines. The use of benzos like Xanax is increasing quickly in the Arizona, as well as elsewhere in the United States. Between 1996 and 2013, the number of adults who filled a benzo prescription increased by 67%. During that timeframe, it climbed from 8.1 million to 13.5 million. Dosage sizes have increased as well.
