In this article I will discuss the effect of Xanax and alcohol on a person’s mental status. Specifically, I will explore the relationship between taking Xanax and alcohol and whether or not taking Xanax and alcohol have any harmful effect on a person’s mental health. At the end of this article I will present a recommended alternative to using Xanax. The mechanism of action of Xanax and alcohol According to the recently released two-volume clinical study known as The Oxford Handbook of Drug Treatment, Xanax facilitates the normal release of GABA into the brain and significantly increases the concentration of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the central nervous system; however, it also reduces the locomotive response in non-alcoholic subjects. Taking alcohol with Xanax may lead to breathing difficulties, seizures, memory loss, nausea, and ringing in the ears. Although all of these side effects are relatively mild, some patients may report feeling jittery and having increased heart rate; however, all benefits should be weighed against the side effects that can be life-threatening.

The question of whether or not combining Xanax and alcohol is dangerous or not has become a highly controversial topic of discussion. Some medical professionals argue that long term exposure to benzodiazepines, such as Xanax, can lead to anxiety, depression, and psychotic disorders; however, other medical professionals feel that long term exposure is not necessarily safe. Another reason for the strong debate surrounding the issue of mixing Xanax and alcohol is the large number of deaths that occur each year from drug overdose and drunkenness. Many victims do not survive because the combination of drugs only amplifies their toxicity. This can result in serious medical issues such as hypothermia and heart failure.

xanax and alcohol creates an severe addiction 

Many people do not realize that Xanax and alcohol together can result in a severe addiction. After long term use, the patient begins to take the drug to combat depression, and within a short period of time suffers withdrawal symptoms when he or she does not receive the recommended dosage. This problem is compounded when the patient decides to try to stop the habit on his own. This often results in the patient not experiencing any withdrawal symptoms and in fact increases the risk of relapse, as he or she may think that he or she can stop the habit without the drastic consequences. This is a common mistake, and one which lead many patients to suffer from serious depression and anxiety as a result.

For this reason, it is advisable to always have the prescription medicines or non-prescription drugs in a separate container than your drink. It is best to keep a bottle of Advil nearby at all times, as well as a bottle of Tylenol. These medications will provide adequate Sedation to help you drive home after you have had your drink, but they should never be taken as alcohol. This can be extremely dangerous and even result in death if you were to drive a vehicle after using either of these drugs without the appropriate dosage. Although Xanax and alcohol are highly effective drugs, they are highly dangerous if combined, as Xanax is known to interact with many medications, especially blood pressure medications.

When taken for granted, Xanax can save your life, but you need to understand that it has both its good and bad side effects. While it can be extremely beneficial in providing relief from day-to-day stresses and emotional concerns, it can be detrimental if used incorrectly. While it may provide some degree of relief from depression, it is important to remember that this is typically only during the first few months of using it. If you become habituated to Xanax, you may find that your life-threatening or self-damaging behaviors are becoming habitual, resulting in even greater levels of stress and depression. Always talk to your doctor if you think that you could be a potential candidate for the dangers of xanax and alcohol.
