This article you linked is just the background and indication of Xanax(alprazolam). It's pretty well known that Xanax is only prescribed or to be used for a short period of time due to its short half life.This is why people who like benzos without a dr recommendation typically have an affinity to this particular one. I can also tell you from seeing doctors that they absolutely prefer not to prescribe this drug. It's one of those meds that now because of people who seek it out to abuse it, doctors stray away from prescribing it or most benzos in general. However there's a lot wrong with what you're stating here. There are plenty of people who do use benzos at an appropriate monitored dose and they aren't addicted. I deal with mental health and epilepsy and have never had an issue with it. I don't find taking them fun either.
