The past couple weeks we’ve been working on a project called “Your Brain on Drugs” we all chose a common addiction and have to learn about it and make a presentation about it, such as drugs, alcohol and social media. I chose to do my presentation on Xanax. Taking Xanax will cause a feeling of relaxation or calmness, so it is often prescribed for those with anxiety or stress. However, taking too much Xanax can cause side effects such as memory loss, tiredness, dizziness, lack of focus, poor balance and insomnia. A couple of street names for Xanax are; bars, bricks, blue footballs, xanny and yellow school bus. Xanax is illegal without prescription but unfortunately that doesn’t mean that it’s very difficult to find. Try to avoid Xanax if it’s not prescribed to you. 🙂
