Xanor®

Alprazolam is available under a number of trade names that include Niravam, Xanax and Xanor.

Xanor is distributed mainly in the United Kingdom, EU (especially Austria, Sweden, Norway and Finland), South Africa, and Philippines. Xanor is not known to be officially marketed in the United States. Anyway, Xanor contains the same active ingredient, Alprazolam, as the famous Xanax.

Xanor (Alprazolam) is the same short-acting benzodiazepine used for treatment of moderate to severe panic attacks, anxiety disorders and depression.

Some people may take Xanor (Alprazolam, Xanax) to reach the state of relaxation and disinhibition and may get rapidly addicted to the drug. Due to the fact that Alprazolam has a high potential for abuse, in the USA, Alprazolam (Xanax) is listed by the FDA as a schedule IV controlled substance. The United Nations place Xanax among psychotropic substances. In the UK, Xanax (Alprazolam, Xanor) is classified as a Class C drug.

All the versions of Alprazolam has so much in common that, in fact, anything said about Xanax can be applied to Xanor, including effects, risks, and symptoms of withdrawal.

Like Xanax, Xanor (Alprazolam) should be discontinued very slowly over a prolonged period of time after having been taken regularly for any length of time. Abrupt Xanor cessation may cause heavy withdrawal symptoms. And even after gradual dose reduction, withdrawal-related seizures can be fatal.

Xanor is not advisable for more than eight weeks of usage because the medication is habit-forming and its efficacy is not proved after that period of time - the body becomes quickly tolerant to the drug's effects with the increasing risk of heavier withdrawal symptoms (especially when doses of more than 4 mg per day are taken on a regular basis).

In doses of 0.5 mg or more Xanor may cause an increased feeling of sleepiness and impair reactions. You should avoid driving a car, operating machinery or performing any hazardous tasks when taking the drug.
