Xanax works by facilitating the release of GABA. GABA is a type of neurotransmitter that is naturally produced by the brain. When you take Xanax, your brain releases more GABA than usual. The effects are especially pronounced if you don’t suffer from an anxiety disorder because many anxiety disorders deplete your GABA levels.

Xanax can become both psychologically and physically addicting. Because of the intense euphoria Xanax produces, the effects can cause your brain to begin associating Xanax use with pleasure. The pleasure reward center in your brain releases excessive neurotransmitters when you use Xanax to reward pleasurable behaviors. However, this also causes your GABA levels to become depleted when Xanax wears off, which leads to depressant effects.

Symptoms of Xanax use include:

• Drowsiness and fatigue
• Confusion and memory problems
• Difficulty concentrating
• Slurred speech
• Impaired coordination and balance

Detecting Xanax addiction in teenagers can be challenging due to the subtlety of initial symptoms, making understanding the signs of addiction crucial. Recognizing these signs early can lead to timely intervention, increasing the chances of successful recovery.

• Mood and personality changes
• Always looking or acting exhausted, tired, and fatigued
• Experiencing blackouts or memory loss
• Concealing or hiding your Xanax use

Xanax addiction is dangerous, particularly among teenagers, due to its potential to cause severe physical, emotional, and cognitive impairments. The danger escalates when coupled with the drug’s high dependency risk and the profound impact it can have on a developing brain, necessitating urgent intervention and treatment.
