Xanex Script?

[stoner24/7]

what are people prescribed xanex for is it possible to fake a script and get a prescription?

[Maggie Sugar]

There is the possibility that you will get caught, and that is a felony. Most pharmacists are pretty good at detecting fake scripts and the people who use them. What will probably happen is the pharm will tell you "We are out of stock. Come back tomorow." And then call the doctor to check to see if he wrote the script, if he didn''t, the cops will show up at your house.

Not a pleasant place to be in.

Xanax is a drug used, usually short term for anxiety. Most doctors now, will only prescribe it while waiting for an antidepressant to kick in. Some people get small amounts for anxiety producing situations. Like a dental exam, or a plane trip, or a death in the family. Usually these prescriptions are written for very small amounts.

like Maggie said, it's hard to fake a script and not get caught. that's not worth it.

you know, I know its reallly hard to get a script for it, but how come it's so easy to get it illegally? I was wondering that not too long ago.

[TrippinBTM]

Man, first, yeah, it's illegal so if you do it be careful. But I'd stay away from xanax, I have a friend who got hooked on them and it's a hell of a time trying to get off. It's not really worth it.

[headymoechick]

are those addicting?

I didn't think they had any physically addicting properties. If they do, please teach me what they are!!

[Maggie Sugar]

Oh, they certainly are addictive (why do you think they are controlled?) In fact the withdrawal can be worse than with an opiate.

[headymoechick]

really?! how and why if you don't mind me asking. I actually looked Xanax up once and I never read anything like this.

I've been taking them on weekends a lot lately. I don't have hardly anymore, but now I'm a little scared I'll feel like shit.

Addiction to Xanax

Xanax Addiction
Q) What is Xanax?

A) Xanax is prescription tranquilizer which depresses the nervous system in a way similar to alcohol.

Q) How is Xanax used?

A) Xanax when abused is taken orally, chewed, crushed (then snorted like cocaine), or crushed (then dissolved in water and injected like heroin).

Q) What are the effects of Xanax addiction?

A) Xanax has depressant effects on brain areas that regulate wakefulness and alertness, very similar in effect to alcohol and sedative barbiturates. They enhance the action of receptors that inhibit central nervous system stimulation, and conversely, inhibit the action of receptors that stimulate the nervous system. In other words, if the nervous system were a car, these drugs help press down the brakes but make it harder to press down on the gas.



difficulty concentrating
"floating" or disconnected sensation
depressed heartbeat
depressed breathing
excessive sleep and sleepiness
mental confusion and memory loss
addiction
Q) What are the symptoms of withdrawal?

A) Essentially, withdrawal symptoms for the tranquilizers feel like the opposite of the therapeutic effects. The short-acting benzodiazapines (Xanax, Halcion, Restoril, Ativan, and Serax) can produce especially severe withdrawal symptoms. Symptoms, that are similar to those in alcohol withdrawal, include jittery, shaky feelings and any of the following:



rapid heartbeat
shaky hands
insomnia or disturbed sleep
sweating
irritability
anxiety and agitation
Q) What is Xanax addiction?

A)The tranquilizer, which was introduced in 1973, can become psychologically and physically addictive if taken in high doses for longer than eight weeks. Therefore, it should be - and usually is - prescribed as a temporary solution for people with stress and anxiety disorders, doctors say.

But while addiction is Xanax's primary risk, there's another breed of abuser out there. Like other pharmaceuticals such as OxyContin and Ritalin, Xanax has found its way from pharmacies to drug dealers, and is being abused by young, healthy people who want to get high. These club-hopping, twentysomething, casual ``Xannie poppers'' are using the drug in combination with other stimulants, from booze to cocaine.

Q) How offten is Xanax abused?

A) It is estimated that in 1999, 4 million people were currently using prescription drugs non-medically. Nearly 5 million people have at one point taken Xanax or a similar anti-anxiety medication for nonmedicinal reasons, according to a 2000 survey conducted by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Possession of a prescription drug without proof of a prescription is a felony.

More than 22,000 Xanax-related emergency-room visits were reported in the United States in 2000, up from 16,000 seven years before, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

huh. So if you take too much, you get side effects that you would normally TAKE xanax for!! weird.

Thanks though!! I had no idea! I'll take it easier than I have been.

That's why I love this place. I always learn something new. I had even looked it up myself and didn't read anything like that!

[PhotoGra1]

Xanax is VERY addicting. One of the few physical confrontations I have had with an addict at my pharmacy was over Xanax.

[PhotoGra1]

. . . by the way, he didn't get any! EVER AGAIN!

[oOflyeyesOo]

If you guys really want to get a script of xanax. Goto the doctor and complain about having really bad panic attacks and maybe some other disorders that xanax is prescribed for. My guess is that they will give you anti-depressants first and you just gotta keep complaining about bad side effects, you might go threw like 10 different kinds but im time you will get xanax or some other benzo.

[headymoechick]

no thanks. I have no health insurance. i'll continue to do things the illegal way ;)

really though, it has just been a treat lately, to come down off other things. I'm not in any harm, but I could have been if maggie didn't mention it!

I'm being extra careful now.

[Maggie Sugar]

I am glad I could help, Moe.

Grant, did he attack you? The Xannie guy?

Grant, did he attack you? The Xannie guy?

No, he just acted like he was going to, and attempted to jump over the counter. Typical junkie bullshit. I have had people knock over endstands, threaten to slash my tires, all kinds of bullshit. In the end, though, most junkies just want drugs, not violence, so it is usually just a big display of aggression, then, when they realize that doesn't work, they leave. If not, police respond VERY quickly to pharmacies.

After all this happened, though, with this guy, he had the nerve to COMPLAIN on me!!!

[Maggie Sugar]

Oh, boy. Do people think getting violent is going to make the pharmacist go, "Oh, Okay, here's your drugs." ????

[PhotoGra1]

Oh, boy. Do people think getting violent is going to make the pharmacist go, "Oh, Okay, here's your drugs." ????

I don't think there is an rational explanation, it is just irrational, addiction/dependency talking.

God help the clerk that refuses to sell me cigarettes ;)
