Mexican xanax

What is Mexican xanax

Mexican xanax is a benzodiazepine drug used to treat anxiety and panic disorder. They are a brand of alprazolam (Xanax) in Mexico produced by Ifa Celtics with registration number 420M2001 SSA II:

• Farmapram
• Tempus alprazolam
• tafil 2mg

Class
• Neuroscience-based Nomenclature: GABA positive allosteric modulator (GABA-PAM)
• Benzodiazepine (anxiolytic)

So mexican Xanax belongs to the benzodiazepine family which works to slow down the movement of chemicals in the brain that results in reduction of anxiety.

Xanax is the brand name for Alprazolam, a short-acting tranquilizer of the benzodiazepine class which acts on the brain and central nervous system (CNS) to produce a calming effect. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved it in October 1981. It is a federal controlled substance (C-IV) because it can be abused or lead to dependence.

It’s no secret that drug and pharmaceutical prices in the United States can be outrageously expensive at times. Recent media reports have mentioned how many people are seeking to purchase drugs in other countries or online. Many common drugs available in the United States including mexican Xanax can be purchased in Mexico, often at a significant reduction in cost.

How to Dose mexican xanax

• For anxiety, alprazolam IR should be started at 0.75–1.5 mg/day divided into 3 doses; increase dose every 3–4 days until desired efficacy is reached; maximum dose generally 4 mg/day
• For panic, alprazolam IR should be started at 1.5 mg/day divided into 3 doses; increase 1 mg or less every 3–4 days until desired efficacy is reached, increasing by smaller amounts for dosage over 4 mg/ day; may require as much as 10 mg/day for desired efficacy in difficult cases

How the mexican xanax Works

• Binds to benzodiazepine receptors at the GABA-A ligand-gated chloride channel complex
• Enhances the inhibitory effects of GABA
• Boosts chloride conductance through GABA-regulated channels
• Inhibits neuronal activity presumably in amygdala-centered fear circuits to provide therapeutic benefits in anxiety disorders

How Long Until mexican xanax Works

• Some immediate relief with first dosing is common; can take several weeks with daily dosing for maximal therapeutic benefit

If It Works
• For short-term symptoms of anxiety – after a few weeks, discontinue use or use on an “as-needed” basis
• For chronic anxiety disorders, the goal of treatment is complete remission of symptoms as well as prevention of future relapses
• For chronic anxiety disorders, treatment most often reduces or even eliminates symptoms, but not a cure since symptoms can recur after medicine stopped

• For long-term symptoms of anxiety, consider switching to an SSRI or SNRI for long-term maintenance
• If long-term maintenance with a benzodiazepine is necessary, continue treatment for 6 months after symptoms resolve, and then taper dose slowly
• If symptoms reemerge, consider treatment with an SSRI or SNRI, or consider restarting the benzodiazepine; sometimes benzodiazepines have to be used in combination with SSRIs or SNRIs for best results.

If It Doesn’t Work

Consider:

• switching to another agent or adding an appropriate augmenting agent
• psychotherapy, especially cognitive behavioral psychotherapy
• presence of concomitant substance abuse
• presence of alprazolam abuse
• another diagnosis, such as a comorbid medical condition

Side Effects mexican xanax

• Same mechanism for side effects as for therapeutic effects – namely due to excessive actions at benzodiazepine receptors

• Long-term adaptations in benzodiazepine receptors may explain the development of dependence, tolerance, and withdrawal
• Side effects are generally immediate, but immediate side effects often disappear in
