Request a Generic Xanax (Alprazolam) Online
Meet online with a licensed provider at Rosary Dental to discuss anxiety or panic symptoms. If it is safe and clinically appropriate, a short-term prescription for generic Xanax (alprazolam) can be sent to a licensed pharmacy.
How the Xanax Telemedicine Visit Works
- Fill out a short, secure questionnaire about your symptoms, history, and current medications.
- Connect with a licensed provider by secure video or phone to review your concerns in detail.
- The provider may recommend non-medication strategies, therapy, or non-benzodiazepine medicines first.
- If alprazolam is appropriate, a short-term prescription is sent electronically to your preferred pharmacy.
Some patients may be referred for in-person evaluation, therapy, or psychiatric care instead of, or in addition to, benzodiazepine treatment.
What Xanax (Alprazolam) Does
Xanax belongs to a group of medicines called benzodiazepines. It works by enhancing the effect of a calming neurotransmitter in the brain, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and panic when used short-term.
Because of its side-effect profile and risk of dependence, Xanax is not usually the first-line or long-term treatment for anxiety. Many patients benefit from counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, and other medications such as SSRIs that are safer for chronic use.
Dosage, Use, and Stopping Xanax Safely
Your provider will tailor the dose and treatment length to your situation, other medications, and risk factors. Short-acting benzodiazepines like alprazolam are often prescribed for brief periods or occasional use.
- Tablets are usually taken 2–3 times per day or only during panic episodes, exactly as prescribed.
- Do not crush or chew extended-release formulations, and never take more than your prescribed daily amount.
- Do not suddenly stop Xanax after regular use; doses may need to be tapered slowly to reduce withdrawal symptoms.
If you feel that the medication is not helping, or you experience worsening anxiety, mood changes, or unusual behavior, contact your provider promptly rather than adjusting the dose yourself.
Drug Interactions and Warnings
Medicines That May Interact With Xanax
- Opioid pain medicines and cough syrups (for example, codeine, hydrocodone).
- Other benzodiazepines or sleep medicines like zolpidem, temazepam, or clonazepam.
- Some antidepressants, antifungals, and HIV medicines that affect how alprazolam is broken down by the liver.
- Alcohol, cannabis products, and certain anti-seizure medicines.
Combining Xanax with these substances can increase the risk of extreme drowsiness, slow breathing, poor coordination, and accidents. Always provide a full list of all medicines and supplements you take.
Driving and Daily Activities
Avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing tasks that require full alertness until you know how Xanax affects you. If you feel groggy, dizzy, or have memory problems, do not drive and contact your provider.
Frequently Asked Questions About Xanax (Alprazolam)
Will I definitely receive Xanax after my telehealth visit?
No. The provider will review your symptoms, history, and risk factors for benzodiazepine use. They may recommend therapy or non-benzodiazepine medicines instead. Controlled substances are prescribed only when clinically appropriate.
How long can I safely take Xanax?
Xanax is generally meant for short-term or intermittent use. Long-term daily use increases the risk of dependence, tolerance, and withdrawal. Your provider will set a plan and follow-up schedule tailored to you.
What should I do if I miss a dose?
If you miss a regularly scheduled dose and still feel anxious, take it when you remember, but skip it if it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double up doses. If you are unsure, call your pharmacy or provider.
What are signs of a serious reaction or overdose?
Call emergency services immediately if you or someone else has very slow or shallow breathing, cannot be awakened, has blue lips or fingernails, or seems extremely confused or unresponsive.
