Xanax Bars

Xanax bars also called “Zanies” and “Planks,” are small, pill-sized Xanax tablets that can be divided into quarters and taken individually. Each Xanax bar has 2 milligrams per serving, but when broken in half, it becomes 2.1 milligrams per bar. The smallest doses include 0.5 milligrams and 0.25 milligrams, which is the smallest dose.

People who have built up a tolerance to a quarter of a Xanax bar often double the dose to 2 small squares. Some take an entire bar of Xanax, which can cause irritability, aggression, and hyperactive behaviour. Other symptoms may follow, such as chest pain, low blood pressure, drowsiness, and withdrawal symptoms. Many will continue to use Xanax bars and pills to avoid withdrawal symptoms like panic attacks and shakes.

What Is Xanax?

Xanax is a benzodiazepine primarily used to treat generalized anxiety disorder by increasing the brain chemical known as GABA. Xanax replicates GABA in the brain, which helps calm the brain and nervous system. The body also relaxes and a person can feel relaxed in less than half an hour after taking a Xanax bar. Some users find relaxation in as little as 20 minutes and remain relaxed for 2-11 hours. Benzodiazepine stays in the body for up to 3 days after the first dose.

Xanax, also called Alprazolam, treats insomnia and panic disorders that affect millions of people in America. People who suffer from muscle cramps and spasms due to stress-related conditions also use Xanax for relaxation. Xanax pills come in different colours, each with a different dose and different effects on the brain. Xanax is the most commonly prescribed drug in the United States and is highly addictive.

In some cases, people combine Xanax bars with other drugs like cocaine. In other cases, people have been tricked into making counterfeit versions of the drug that lead to sudden death if the counterfeit contained other dangerous substances. The most common and well-known example of poly-addiction to Xanax is alcohol. This combination is particularly dangerous and can lead to overdose or other unfortunate consequences. People also take Valium with Xanax for the same reasons and with similar effects.

Teens And Xanax Use

Xanax is popular with teenagers as it helps them deal with the stressors, depression and anxiety of teenage life. This is problematic because early Xanax use among adolescents increases the likelihood of lifelong addiction. A 2016 report found that “around 70% of adolescents have tried drugs or alcohol” before the age of 15. From these drugs, many young college students became addicted to Xanax. It is widely used in schools and some teens take medicine from their parents’ first aid kit. Since Xanax relaxes the mind and body, teens often abuse the substance and then want something stronger. Some teens increase their risk by combining Xanax with alcohol or other drugs and may take more Xanax bars per day.

Expectant Mothers And Xanax Bars

Expectant mothers who abuse Xanax bars can cause unborn babies to develop fetal problems. Because anxiety and muscle spasms are common during pregnancy, benzodiazepines may be given to mothers to help them relax. Mothers may experience nausea, seizures, and tremors during Xanax withdrawal. As with other substance use disorders, mothers who abuse Xanax can affect the baby as chemicals are passed to the baby through the bloodstream.
