So, for all those people who need some real information on Xanax abuse and how to stop it, here it is:
Xanax is a benzodiazepine. It is in the same family as Valium, Ambien, Clonipin, and Ativan. It is extremely addictive and it is extremely dangerous to come off of.

It is bad enough that tens of thousands of people are being prescribed such a dangerous and addictive drug, but now tens of thousands of people are posting links for “cheap xanax” or “no prescription needed for Xanax!” Incredibly, this is allowed even though xanax addiction is creeping up to the number one drug problem in the U.S. In fact, you might as well see ads for crack cocaine and heroin, that is how devastating a xanax addiction can be.
Most search engines will pre-qualify ads before they are posted, however, there are still some getting through. Often times a person becomes addicted to Xanax because it was prescribed to them or because they stumbled across it in someone’s medicine cabinet. Xanax addicts often cite the fact that Xanax is a prescription so they thought it would be safe. These internet ads are just another reason why a person may mistakingly think that Xanax is harmless.
The only real way to handle a Xanax addiction is to enroll in a long term drug and alcohol rehab. If you or anyone you know is in need of help please call Narconon Louisiana at 866-422-4650 for more information.

The past few years have brought about an alarming trend. Those being prescribed methadone (a drug commonly prescribed for those suffering from a heroin addiction) are also taking large amounts of benzodiazepines, most often Xanax and Valium. The combination of these drugs are causing a significant increase in overdose deaths. In fact, in 2008, 24 of 41 drug overdoses in Tuscalussa County involved methadone, and all but four included multiple drug toxicity.
The biggest reason why methadone and benzos are such a lethal combination is because they cause respitory arrest. Additionally their is mounting evidence that methadone can cause cardiac toxicity.
