there are many other anti-depressants out there... and yet i hear of people at school saying "yo, you got the Xannex?
what is it about "Xannex" that people want to abuse? does it give you hallucinations or something?
i would NEVER EVER EVER abuse a drug, EVER, but i'm wondering why people abuse THIS drug in particular?

oh its not an antidepressent... its for anziety... and sleeplessness... they are way over presccribed so they are easily accessible to abusers.... I guess its that la la feeling they like...

It is NOT an antideprssant it is an antianxiety drug and a muscle relaxer... it promotes a calm feeling and a "dreamy" state when taken at a high enough dose. It is relaxing and therefore evry enjoyable to most people. It is also physically addictive.
P.S. I doubt many people evr "believe" they would ever abuse a drug....
Xanax has a true medical and psycological purpose and it is not like an antidepressant like Prozac... it is an entirely different drug and has a different effect, but it does have a high abuse potential and again it is physically addictive and that can sneak up on a preson.

"Wantshy" answered the question correctly, it puts you in a dreamy and relaxed state, and is highly addictive.
i will have to admit that i have abused this drug a few times, i was so upset and felt i couldn't cope and just wanted to be knocked out.
I've abused sleeping pills also, it has the same sort of effect.
it doesn't give you hallucinations.
i don't know why this drug in particular maybe because it makes you feel so relaxed.
