[Ma...] Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Shocking and disturbing but true, xanax was the MOST PRESCRIBED PSYCHIATRIC DRUG IN 2009: http://www.psychiatrictimes.com/news/content/article/10168/1681732 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Be...] Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Just to clarify, the report says it was the most prescribed drug in the U.S. in 2009. I wonder how that compares to other developed nations? Disturbing is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[za...] Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Most docs I've seen say they hate xanax, they simply won't prescribe it, although these same doctors had no problem prescribing other benzos, mainly klonopin. I suppose since xanax is short-acting, they see it as more addictive. It's certainly the most abuse benzo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[su...] Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 yeah but how many are going to stay on it longer than 1 month ? where is that stat ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[be...] Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Yes it's a good point. Are they being given a two-week supply? It is a little scary though becauase Xanax has just the greatest addiction potential of benzos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [So...] Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I heard Xanax came out with a new variation of the drug called Xanax XR which you only take once a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[be...] Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Yeah Xanax Xr. Why not just take Valiun then. Some of these XR drugs seem like big pharma marketing gimmicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
