Pharmaceutical Xanax (Alprazolam 0.5mg)

Alprazolam (usually sold under the brand name Xanax) is a fast-acting and powerful tranquilizer from the Benzodiazepine family of chemicals, used to combat insomnia, anxiety issues, panic attacks, and stress related disorders. It is also used in a clinical detox setting to alleviate the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal, and it is sometimes used off-label to treat muscle convulsions or spasms if mainline treatments fail.

Effects

Alprazolam is a central nervous system depressant, i.e. a “downer”. Its primary intended effects are calming, relaxation, and sedation. These effects typically take about one hour to kick in and last for up to eight hours, so it is typically prescribed as a 3/day medicine. The total duration is affected by various factors such as age, weight, metabolic rate, and smoking.

The main medical effects of Alprazolam are:

• For panic disorder: reduces the frequency and intensity of panic attacks
• For anxiety disorder: reduces nervous tension and overall anxiety level
• For insomnia: helps induce sleep and increases sleep quality

Legal Status

Alprazolam is legally available in many countries as a prescription drug to treat general anxiety disorder, panic attacks, or nausea caused by chemotherapy. Studies have shown that long term use of this drug in its prescribed manner does not lead to addiction or dose escalation. However, the risk of addiction is higher for those with a history of alcoholism or other drug abuse.

Dosage and Safe Use Guidelines

Beginners should take one pill at a time, as a single pill (0.5mg) is considered moderate strength. Experienced users who are familiar with the effects can take two or three pills at a time. The maximum recommended dosage is 20mg per day.

Alprazolam must not be combined with alcohol or other “downer” drugs such as opioids or barbiturates. Doing so may cause severe sedation or other dangerous side effects. Some prescription drugs and some oral contraceptives affect the clearance rate of this drug from the body and so increase the chance of side effects. Users should discontinue use immediately and seek medical assistance if they experience adverse effects such as shallow breathing, slurred speech, or blurred vision.

Pregnant and/or nursing women should not use this product except under explicit guidance from a qualified physician.

Stopping Alprazolam suddenly can lead to withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety or insomnia.

Storage

Keep out of reach of children. Store in a sealed container at room temperature. Avoid exposure to moisture.

It can be used safely as evidenced by its legal prescription status in many countries including Canada. However it is a potent drug that must be treated with respect.
