You're confusing two different drugs: XANAX (the first "x" is pronounced like a "z") and ZANTAC. They have very different uses. Xanax is a tranquilizer, prescribed for anxiety attacks, panic disorders, etc. Zantac is an ulcer medication.

Xanax is a type medication that effects the nervous system. It mildly sedates people with major anxiety disorders, like if they have the shakes really bad or they could have anger problems. There are all sorts of problems a person can have and there are all sorts of medications for these problems. It depemds on the DR. and how the patients body responds to the medication. When taking Xanax a person may feel content, happy, relaxed etc. People who take Xanax for a long period of time may become dependant on the drug.

Only MD's can prescribe it. A doctor will give you tests, and therapy sessions, and if needed they will prescribe zantax for depression. It's supposed to lighten up your attitude so that you can live a normal day like you should. There are alternative methods that for some people can get the same results without injuring your stomach.

I BELIEVE YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT XANAX. IT IS AN ANXIOLYCTIC, USED TO TREAT ANXIETY. MD'S PRESCRIBE THIS ALSO FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE PHOBIAS, PANIC ATTACKS, WORRIED ALL THE TIME, ETC.IF USED RIGHT, IT WILL RELAX YOU, IF YOU ARE A TRUE SUFFERER OF THE CONDITION. SOME PEOPLE LIE TO OBTAIN THE DRUG AND USE IT TO GET HIGH. IT CAN CAUSE THEM TO GET EXTREMELY SLEEPY, STUTTERING, UNSTEADY ON THEIR FEET, ETC. IF YOU KNOW ANYONE WHO ABUSES THEM, DON'T LET THEM DRINK ALCOHOL AT ALL OR DRIVE OR OPERATE MACHINERY OR VEHICLES. IF THIS DOESN'T SOUND LIKE WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR, YOU MIGHT BE TALKING ABOUT "ZANTAC," A COMMON MED USED TO TREAT STOMACH ULCERS.

This medication is used for anxiety and should only be prescribed if needed by your Doctor. Taking any medication without a Doctors order can be deadly.

I think you may have it confused...there is Zantac for acid reduction and there is Xanax

• Zantac is in a class of drugs called histamine receptor antagonists. Zantac works by decreasing the amount of acid the stomach produces.
• Zantac is used to treat and prevent ulcers in the stomach and intestines. Zantac is also used to treat conditions in which the stomach produces too much acid and conditions in which acid comes up into the esophagus and causes heartburn, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
• Zantac may also be used for conditions other than those listed in this medication guide.

Xanax: Generic Name: alprazolam (al PRAH zoe lam)
Brand Names: Niravam, Xanax, Xanax XR

What is alprazolam?
• Alprazolam is in a class of drugs called benzodiazepines. Alprazolam affects chemicals in the brain that may become unbalanced and cause anxiety.
• Alprazolam is used to relieve anxiety, nervousness, and tension associated with anxiety disorders. Alprazolam is also used to treat panic disorders.
• Alprazolam may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide

Just a note...I took Xantax for anxiety...i was supposed to take it everyday but didnt. Only took it when I needed it. I was under a lot of stress during my divorce and had cases of hyperventalation, shakes, etc...but most doctors do not like to perscribe it anymore b/c they say its an addictive med. so if you think you really need it see your doctor and let them decide. They will give you something more suited for you.
