Xanax

I know there is no measurement but how addicting are xan bars I never tried em and don't really plan on it just got some buddies who do. Are they really addicting?

If you cant control your use then yes.

Ive sat on many bars but only use up to like a bar and a half a week.

If you don't use them all the time you're ok. But many many people don't do that and benzo withdrawal is a horrible horrible thing. One of the few kicks you can die from.

O shit dam. But easily controlled if you got something in your skull?

Xanax is a class of medication called benzodiazepines. All benzodiazepines even the weaker ones you could get addicted to. To tell you the truth, I've abused benzos in my days and I've never been addicted to them. But then again I didn't use them every day. If by some chance you do (not saying you are) never drink alcohol with benzodiazepines. both react on your brain's GABA receptor i'm pretty sure so the xanax will make the alcohol more potent. (It could be lethal as cutting off your breathing). I've done heroin mixed with coke (speedball) twice within 2 days snorted once and shot the next and I've never got addicted to it (physically) so you can't get addicted to them doing a couple times a month (physically).

But then again let me explain addiction in medication. There is addiction and dependency. Dependency is like weed. You might get a little depressed without the drug becuase mentally you want more yet you don't go physical withdrawal from it. Addiction is where your body needs the drug to function healthy. So yes xanax are addicting however it takes some time to get addicted to them. It can be quickily if they are used daily so you better warn your friends about this.

....there pretty damn good. I keep saying that I'm done with them but find myself getting some probably once a month, but that's bc my town is full of them and super easy to get. Good for lazy days, depressed days, hangovers, and even if you got a cold. Just like anything, be tolerant

yes,physical and mental, the only drug I heard of that can make die from withdrawls(that's just what I heard don't go blasting me)

Xanax can be addicting due to the reason that you may be reliant on them for anxiolytic purposes. Anything that calms or soothes your demeanor has the potential for addiction. Yes, this can be very habit forming if you choose to use them on a daily basis. Tolerance and physical addiction play a crucial role on kicking the habit.

You can die from alcohol withdrawal too.

Great info thanks

You can also die withdrawing from GHB/GBL and barbiturates. Anything active at GABA.
Also that's not how dependency and addiction work. Dependency is when your body has adapted to having the drug by up or down regulating the effected system. For example decreasing production of endorphin agonists an increasing production of the antagonist one. Basically dependency is your body has adjusted to it and requires it to function, and will experience withdrawal symptoms without it. Addiction is when your mentally need it, the craving, the compulsion to keep using when you shouldn't.
Someone on opiates long term who takes their meds as prescribed and doesn't abuse them will be dependent, but clearly isn't addicted. An addict in that situation would be blowing through their script in no time.

Ahhhhhhh I seeeee thanks

I love to take a xanax bar and then smoke some weed, and 20 minutes later its slow motion for me. As far as your question goes, yes they are addicting. But so is just about everything else. It is mainly up to the person as to whether or not they have an addictive personality, or if they are the type of person who can do shit in moderation. Some people just can't handle taking any kind of benzos, because they act donkey and blackout. I've never been that guy, but I have some friends that are.

Dam bro sorry for you r loss. If you don't mind me asking was it cause of withdrawal or od?? So if I am out of line

I meant sorry if im out of line

One need be very careful taking xanax in combination with opiates. It creates a synergistic action. Because of this they are commonly sold outside of methadone clinics to patients looking to up their buzz of the methadone they have either grown tolerant of or are on such a low dose of. Its also very dangerous. Making it even more dangerous is this combination creates an effect that the person should be down for the count in bed sleeping it off, but that doesnt happen. They continue on as if nothing is wrong, when in fact they are in a walking stupor and may drive a car, take more pills or other such nonsense. Overdose resulting in death from xanax is not uncommon in combination with opiates. Might seem like a good idea to take say, an oxycontin or percocet then take a xanax to "up" it, like one might take a benzo and drink. Its not a good idea, its dangerous.

Who are you explaining to how dependency works?

Immunity to a drug equates to dependency. It's how doctors try to refrain from prescribing anti-biotics... as your body grows immune to its natural defense. As you said, GABA Neurotransmitters is something you do not want to play with. Gama-Aminobutyric Acid is one the most important neurotransmitters besides Serotonin.

Yes. Dependency and addiction play different roles in a habitual user.
