Can Xanax Be Purchased Online?

default
Posted on Mon, 20 Apr 2015
Question: I have noticed you can buy medications, specifically Xanax on line. Is this legal? Is it safe if taken in proper dose? How do I know it is really Xanax and not something that just looks like Xanax?

Brief Answer:
in most of the countries it is not legal to buy xanax online

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Xanax-alprazolam is a benzodiazepine group of medicine. It causes tolerance and severe dependence after long term use. It causes severe withdrawal symptoms if stopped called turkey. So chances of abuse is very much high.Because of this reason the best approach is to use xanax strictly under medical supervision.It is the prescription drug in most of the countries. To buy it without prescription online is not legal in most of the countries.

It is safe only when taken as per prescription and advice of doctor.Safety depends on dose and duration of xanax use.Higher the dose and longer the use more chances of tolerance, dependance and withdrawal.
I prefer klonopin instead of xanax in most of the patients as klonopin has low potential of dependence and withdrawal.

There is no specific method by which a a lay person can differentiate between original and duplicate xanx at home. Only chemical testing can prove it. However its effectiveness when you take duplicate will be lesser. From look no one can tell the difference.

In my opinion do not purchase online. Ask your doctor to prescribe you xanax according to problem. Follow doctor's advice strictly to avoid complication.

Hope I have answered your queries,. Feel free to ask if you have any doubt/query.

Regards,

Dr.Chintan Solanki.
