Question: Hi doctor,
I am prescribed with xanax .5mg for my anxiety and panic attacks. This week I ran out of xanax so a friend of mine got me a pack from switzerland and took a pill 5 hours ago.
Then a friend of mine told me to beware from fake xanax that can be sold world wide as they are fatal.

Brief Answer:
You will get withdrawal effects if it is empty pill
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
The only way to know the fake product is by way of laboratory tests. In case that is not possible other way is to get withdrawal effects of xanax as you are taking it over the years.
The withdrawal effects for xanax prominently includes restless, feeling at edge, insomnia, increased anxiety, bad dreams, irritability among others. In case any of these symptoms are observed despite taking same dose probably you are dealing with fake product or empty pill.
You need to remain aware that fake products are not only the empty pills, they are adulterated with spurious products of potentially harmful nature. This is my humble request to stay away from the likely fake products as it may harm you in multiple ways depending on the nature of ingredients.
I hope this answers you.
Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions.
Thanks and regards.
