Serious Side Effects of Xanax
Sometimes there can be serious side effects of Xanax. The treatment for serious side effects of xanax require physician’s advice or emergency attention depending upon the seriousness of the effect. The side effects of xanax can be manifested as the following effects:

Neurological effects: Blurred vision, headache, seizures, slurred speech, difficulty in depth perception.

Psychiatric effects: Mental confusion, depression, irritability, nervousness, sleep disturbances, euphoria, lethargy, stupor.

Gastrointestinal effects Dry mouth, nausea, non-specific gastrointestinal disturbances, vomiting.

Hematological effects: Decreased hemoglobin and hematocrit, increased and decreased WBC.

Hepatic effects: Elevations of alkaline phosphates, bilirubin, AST (SGOT), ALT (SGPT).

Miscellaneous: Increased and decreased blood sugar levels.

Xanax treatment should be discontinued if any of the following occur: Hyper excitement, muscle spasm, anxiety, hallucinations, rage or other hostile behavior, tremors, insomnia, sleeping difficulties or over stimulation.

Cautions: Xanax / Alprazolam has been known to interact undesirably with certain medical conditions. You should not take Xanax if you have a history of, any of the following conditions:

Alcohol or drug abuse - may increase likelihood of Xanax dependence.

Allergic reactions to Xanax, or other benzodiazepine. Always tell your doctor about any allergies before starting a medication.

Personality Disorder -personality disorder or a history of violent behavior.

Brain disease - may increase likelihood of side effects from Xanax.

Breathing difficulties - such as asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, or any other chronic lung disease - Xanax may worsen this condition.

Difficulty swallowing - This condition may become more pronounced in children.

Epilepsy or seizures - Abruptly starting or stopping treatment with Xanax may increase seizures. Although Xanax can be used as an aid to anti-tremor therapy, it should be used cautiously and strictly according to a doctor's instructions in these cases.

Glaucoma - Xanax should not be prescribed to patients with acute narrow-angle glaucoma. Patients receiving treatment for open angle glaucoma should consult their doctor, as Xanax may be an acceptable treatment for them.

Hyperactivity

Kidney or liver problems - In isolated cases, Xanax has been reported to cause jaundice. If you experience yellowing of the skin or eyes, seek medical treatment immediately. More Xanax may end up in your bloodstream if you have a pre-existing kidney or liver condition, increasing the likelihood of side effects.

Major Depression.

Myasthenia gravis - This autoimmune disorder characterized by muscle weakness may be aggravated by Xanax treatment.

Porphyria - Xanax (alprazolam) is listed as an unsafe drug for porphyria, an enzyme deficiency that can cause fragile skin that is sensitive to sunlight, digestive difficulties, anxiety, and reddish-brown urine.

Psychosis or other serious mental illness - Xanax has not proved to be an effective treatment for these conditions, and is not recommended.

Sleep apnea (temporary suspension of breathing during sleep) - Xanax may worsen this condition. Individuals with sleep apnea should not generally use sedatives as sleep aids.

Answer 2

i have never met a person that could function normally while taking xanax and i know more who become addicted.

xanax should never be given unless there has been a severely traumatic experience and this medication should only be used short term (i.e, no more than a few days).

anxiety has several etiologies, mainly when one has anxiety, there is something going on in the liver. if the liver isn't working properly, the toxins will pass the blood brain barrier and cause an upset in how the brains chemistry works.

get a check up. do not fall victim to xanax- once stopped your anxiety problems will remain. it is merely a coverup because many doctors aren't sure why axiety attacks happen.

things you can do without medication:
do not consume caffiene. (coffee, chocolate)
keep the body flushed with clear liquids.
diet-a well balanced diet may help.
no diet soda's-they are the worst for anyone!

Answer 3

It depends on how bad the anxiety is. If the anxiety is severe the person can't function, then they probably need medication.

If someone has mild anxiety but still can function may there is no need for medication.

There are lots medications for anxiety. Since xanax has a high risk for dependency and abuse, it would usually be better to try one of the other drugs first.

If a patient goes to a doctor and says "I need xanax", the doctor would probably suspect the person is a drug abuser. A truly responsible doctor would probably only prescribe xanax when nothing else seems to work and there is absolutely no reason to believe the patient is a drug abuser or potential drug abuser. There are, of course, "Dr. Feelgood" types who lose their licenses and may even be put in prison if they get caught.
