So I was just prescribed Xanax, and I would like advice on this drug. What should I prepare for? If I'm having a panic attack, how will I feel after taking this and how long does it take to kick in? What are some warnings you'd like to give me? I'm serious about drugs, so that's why I'm asking about this.

I have a question, which will be after this story.

So I told my dad I need something fast acting for panic attacks, instead of making an appointment, my dad called the drs office. My dad talked to the nurse of my dr, asking for something that will help panic attacks. The nurse said he will send the request to the dr. Within a week, the dr called and approved the drug, then he sent the prescription to the drug store. The drug he prescribed me was Xanax.

Is this how it is normally? Like is it this easy?

Also, this isn't technically Xanax, it's alprazolam. But for the easiness, can I just say Xanax? Like if I'm telling someone what I'm taking, I don't want to have to say I take alprazolam, because I can barely spell it, let alone say it.

Oh, and I have another question. Like, can I carry a pill of Xanax with me in a little baggy for emergency use like at school or wherever? I realize its illegal to have it without a prescription, but I'd have a prescription at my house.

Lol you know nothing about the drug do ya? Erowid.com search under pharms and you will find the chemical name Alprazolam. It is very fast acting and a very short drug. It will, for the better, relax the hell out of you. Don't drink alcohol at all while on it, be very careful driving at first as it dulls your reflexes. It is very easy to forget common things while on it as it makes things a lot harder to remember. But on the website I provided you can see people write their own experiences while taking the drug. If you have any other questions feel free to PM me. Hope this helps.

I concur with the poster above.

Xanax (alprazolam - al PRAY zoe lam) belongs to a group of drugs called benzodiazepines. It works by slowing down the movement of chemicals in the brain that may become unbalanced. This results in a reduction in nervous tension (anxiety).

Xanax is used to treat anxiety disorders, panic disorders, and anxiety caused by depression.

I also utilize Alprazolam (2mg) and I must say that I enjoy it ALOT...perhaps too much! Be advised that there is a high potential for addiction while using Alprazolam, and subsequently, a high potential for protracted withdrawal symptoms after stopping Alprazolam if you use it for an extended period of time (more than 3 weeks). I recommend that you devise a "Taper Schedule" (an organized reduction in dosage, e.g. half of your average dose) if you receive an increase in dosage and suspect dependence after an extended period of time.
