Types Of Xanax Dosage Available in Market

Now before we move on to the different kinds of Xanax bars and why they prove themselves to be useful, let us first discuss the drug Xanax. Basically, Xanax is the brand name of the drug Alprazolam and belongs to a class of drugs called benzodiazepines, which work as a central nervous system (CNS) depressant.

This means that the drug is prescribed to treat anxiety and panic disorders as it works by depressing the working of a neurotransmitter called GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) and helps a person feel calm. Even though the drug is prescribed to treat anxiety and panic disorders, but it is suggested that the drug should be taken only when the situation causing anxiety or making a person feel panic goes out of control.

Now we would like to introduce to the different kinds of Xanax bars: Xanax is the name of the drug by which the drug Alprazolam is popularly known as and is generally prescribed for the treatment of the symptoms of anxiety and panic disorders, specifically generalized anxiety disorder. Each Xanax bar comes with its own special features and the color of each Xanax bar or pill depends on the manufacturer of the drug. Now you might be thinking that why we are trying to relate yellow Xanax bars with R039, then our answer is very simple.

This is so because each Xanax bar has something different that differentiates it from the other Xanax bars. The same can be said for R039, which is actually the number imprinted on the yellow Xanax bar and is usually identified as the pill filled with the drug in the quantity of 2mg. However, there can be hazardous results of buying the Xanax yellow bar R039 from the street because the price of the drug might vary according to the vendor selling the drug.

Also if you buy the drug from the street and face any problem after taking the drug, there is no guarantee that the vendor who is selling you the drug will be at the place from where you bought the drug or not. In short, if you want to take Xanax or any of its bars, it’s best to buy the drug online and from an online pharmacy that is able to provide you with a prescription and helps you in case of facing a medical emergency or when you seek medical attention.

Since Xanax is prescribed to treat a person’s anxiety and panic disorder, it has gone on to become the most highly prescribed benzodiazepine in the U.S. with about 50 million prescriptions written each year.

These are rectangular bars that contain 2 mg of active alprazolam and go by the street name sticks. White is the most common color for medications. Tablets of this color are produced by many pharmaceutical companies around the world. It is important to note that the maximum dose of alprazolam is 4 mg per day, so white Xanax bars of 2 mg are a very high dose of the drug. This form of the drug produces strong sedation within minutes of being consumed. The bar is typically marked with scores to make it easy for the user to split into smaller portions.

The bar shape of alprazolam in any color (white, yellow, or green) usually contains a 2-mg dose. Because white Xanax bars have such a high strength, it is not advisable to quit them because this can produce dangerous withdrawal symptoms. Each manufacturer puts their own unique imprint on the bars, for example, G 372 2 or X ANA X 2. White pills are also available in round, rectangular, oval, and triangular shapes with strength varying from 0.25 mg to 2 mg.
