<!--prescribe just a few pills on occasion
for patients with fear of flying; it works," said Dr. Catherine Birndorf,
a New York City psychiatrist and a self contributing expert.Yet its cred
as a highly effective drug also makes it a frequently abused one:
Experts say that benzos are so widely available and sometimes used so
casually that they can seem benign."The culture in which we live sends
messages that there is no reason to tolerate discomfort," said Susan Foster,
vice president and director of policy research and analysis at the substance
use and addiction nonprofit CASAColumbia, adding, "That fuels misuse of
prescription medications."Consumed daily in high doses, even for a month,
Xanax can lead to physical dependence. But just accepting pills (hashtag:
#Xannies) from friends here and there is riskyand not only because it's
against the law. It puts users at risk for a psychological dependence,
in which they believe they can't get through life without help from
a pill."I know from a clinic where I work that even people
who aren't physically dependent on benzos can get desperate for them," Reinhold
said.The more people regularly take these little pills to soothe themselves,
the more their minds may start to crave them.As she notes: "Maybe
they can't get through a job interview or a big date unless
they have one. They ask friends for them, they go to multiple
doctors or they may even try online pharmacies that illegally hand out
pills
em generic Xanax, noting that two nights before
she passed out, she'd run out of the pills she'd been using
for anxiety.After testing her blood and urine, staffers administered another
drug that, like Xanax, is in the benzodiazepine family."Almost immediately,
I stopped shaking and felt totally normal," Jenna said. "It was as
though nothing had ever happened. Nobody there told me, but I put
it together: I'd been in withdrawal. I was dependent on Xanax."Jenna had
first gotten a prescription eight years earlier when she was a student
and saw a doctor, complaining of insomnia. After discussing her problem,
"he decided I was anxious," she said. "I had a busier life
than some, but I didn't think I was especially anxious. He told
me there was this great drug I could take. He prescribed a
milligram per day of the generic form."At first, she loved it."It was
amazing," she said. "I could sleep anywhere, on the spot."A few months
later, though, her insomnia returned, along with a new sense of nervousness
that struck between pills. Over the next couple of years, her doctor
upped the dosage until it reached 6 mg per day, an unusually
high level.Jenna's experienceextreme as it isshows that this drug, which
more and more women today are using, may carry severe risks."Dependence
on benzodiazepines like Xanax is a serious problem, especially among young
women," said Harris Stratyner, cochairman of the medical scientific subcommittee
of the nonprofit
