The active ingredient in this popular anti-anxiety medication is alprazolam. This medicine is most commonly prescribed for the treatment of panic attacks and anxiety disorder. Everyone experiences anxiety from time to time. People that suffer from anxiety attacks or panic disorder often experience crippling anxiety that basically disables them. A panic attack can happen at any time even when there is no apparent danger. When people have a panic attack for the first time, they may feel like they are having a heart attack and this can be an extremely frightening situation.

So now you know how to take this medicine, but what about after you take it, what does Xanax feel like? Let's find out!
Unlike some drugs which produce a feeling of euphoria (a 'high' feeling), users can expect to feel an almost instant feeling of calmness and reduced cognitive functions. This medicine works on body to increase the effects of a chemical called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which is the body's natural anti-anxiety medication. When this medicine binds with GABA, it produces an intense feeling of calmness which allows people suffering from anxiety to relax. It is because of the Xanax effects, and how it makes people feel calm so quickly, which makes it one of the best anti-anxiety medications on the market.
Basically, this medicine will make you feel calm and relaxed inside a short space of time, but, how long does Xanax last on the body? Let's read farther!
As with all medication, the onset time of this anti-anxiety medication (how long it takes to kick in) and the duration of action can be influenced by certain factors such as when the patient last ate a heavy meal.

After taking this anti-anxiety mediation it is common for patients to develop a tolerance to the drub. This basically means that the longer you take the medicine, your dosage will need to be increased in order for the medication to last as long as it originally did when you started taking it.
If taken in accordance with the patient information leaflet (dosage guidelines), the effects should last from between four to six hours, after which time the patients will be required to take another dose.
Other factors that can affect the onset time and how long the effects can be felt for is the patients BMI (body mass index).

If you have ever had an allergic reaction to this medicine or another benzodiazepine anti-anxiety medication then you should speak with your doctor to see if this medicine is suitable for you.
Xanax is benzodiazepine, sometimes called 'benzos'. In general, all benzodiazepines work on the body in a similar way, promoting a feeling of calmness and relaxation by reducing the communication between nerve cells. Other similar medicines in this class include diazepam (Valium), lorazepam (Ativan) and clonazepam (Klonopin). Because they have a similar mechanism of action, these medicines are also often prescribed to people that want to buy anti-anxiety medication.
When looking for a reputable store to buy Xanax, there are a few important factors to keep in mind. Because this anti-anxiety medication is so popular, often the price is inflated by vendors in the hope of making a quick buck. Of course, the brand selected will reflect the price, and when you buy anti-anxiety medication that holds an original brand name you can expect it to be expensive. If on the other hand you buy Xanax from a legitimate manufacturer of high-quality generics you can expect to receive a product that is equally effective at treating anxiety at a fraction of the price. But, is Xanax safe, if it comes from a generic manufacturer? Let's take a look below!
Why are generic anti-anxiety medications so much cheaper than their branded counterpart? The answer is simple. In order to get a new drug off the ground, it generally takes teams of scientists and chemists' years to research and develop it to a standard which it can get approval from the FDA, or other relevant medical safety inspection body. This research and development can often cost billions, and the pharmaceutical companies need to make their money back somehow. They do this by marketing the new drug at a price that absorbs these costs and allowing the customer to pay for it inside the time frame of their patent.
A patent on a new drug does not last forever and when a patent expires, other pharmaceutical companies are allowed to recreate their own brand of anti-anxiety medication. They are able to do so without investing billions in research and development costs and therefore are able to sell their brand at a considerably reduced price.
All other health and safety standards must be met in order for a generic brand to get FDA approval and therefore, when you buy Xanax in its generic form you can be 100% sure that it will work in exactly the same way as the original anti-anxiety medication. One popular generic brand is Galenika Ksalol Anxiety Tablets, which can now be found at a number of online pharmacies that serve worldwide.
