In this episode, I discuss the most powerful "benzo", Xanax. Xanax is extremely useful for short-term anxiety/panic disorder treatment. However, there are many major and serious risks associated with its use, including death & overdose. I weigh the pros and cons in this episode of Deep Dive, and what to look out for. Always discuss these types of medication (and every medication) with your doctor or a professional, as they *should* know best.  Info on Benzos: https://www.goodrx.com/benzodiazepines Distressing Facts about Xanax: https://discoverymood.com/blog/facts-stats-behind-xanax/ Xanax Overview & Facts: https://www.rxlist.com/xanax-drug.htm#description Drug Abuse: https://www.drugabuse.gov/drug-topics/opioids/benzodiazepines-opioids # of Prescriptions for Xanax: https://clincalc.com/DrugStats/Drugs/Alprazolam Call This Number for Addiction Treatment: 1-800-662-4357 (SAMHSA Hotline) --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/liam-scully/support
