Alprazolam Overdose

It’s important to be able to recognize the signs of alprazolam overdose, a condition which can be fatal. Alprazolam is a member of the benzodiazepine class of drugs, a short-acting prescription drug used to treat panic disorders, anxiety disorders and anxiety due to depression. It’s the generic name for Xanax, Xanax XR and Niravam. Symptoms associated with alprazolam overdose can include fainting, feelings of lightheadedness, extreme drowsiness, hypotension, respiratory depression, impaired motor function, confusion, muscle weakness and loss of balance or coordination. An overdose can also cause patients to slip into a coma which can lead to death. Alprazolam has properties including sedative, hypnotic, anticonvulsant, muscle relaxant and anxiolytic. Alprazolam and other benzodiazepines bind to specific receptors in the brain and can lead to physical and/or psychological dependence. Alprazolam may be more dangerous in an overdose situation when compared to other benzodiazepines including Ativan, Klonopin and Valium. It may also result in more fatal overdoses.

Who is At Risk of Suffering an Alprazolam Addiction?

Emergency medical help should be summoned immediately if you are showing signs of overdose. An alprazolam overdose can range from mild to severe depending on how much of the drug was taken and whether it was taken with other central nervous system depressants. Many cases of alprazolam overdose have been attributed to drug toxicity from the combination of the drug with other substances. Some recreational users combine alprazolam with other drugs such as cocaine and methadone. Overdoses involving alprazolam can be accidental or intentional in nature. Most patients don’t set out to overdose on prescription medication. Most people who become dependent upon the drug don’t intend to do so. This problem tends to arise once a tolerance to legitimately-dispensed medication leads to escalation of use or other forms of misuse.

Benzodiazepine Detox Can Be Achieved Safely in Less Than Two Hours

The most obvious sign of a physical addiction to alprazolam is the onset of withdrawal symptoms once use is stopped or gradually lessened. The Waismann Method of Accelerated Neuro-Regulation offers renowned benzodiazepine detox that is safe, effective, discreet and compassionate. Our program can get you free of alprazolam dependence in a matter of days and the procedure itself takes less than two hours. The difficult withdrawal period is accelerated with our procedure, which takes place in a fully-accredited hospital. Patients sleep lightly for a short time while under anesthesia. Intravenous medication is administered at this point to cleanse the alprazolam from patients’ receptors. The withdrawal symptoms occur while patients are under and they awake without the awareness they went through it. We also cater to the needs of those clients who wish to extend their recovery by offering them a private suite in our luxurious Domus Retreat transitional living facility. Here, we offer group and individual counseling, biofeedback, massage and other therapies. Our highly-advanced medical approach to benzodiazepine dependence can get you back on your feet in much less time than other programs.
