xanbars
Ok I have a friend that Im truly worried about shes been smoking like a chimney ( she only has one lung) shes also been drinking like a fish, now i find out shes taking xanbars, WHAT is that? Is it a pill or what? i went to a web site and it was a tokers 420 that said it was great! then I went to another site that was some sorta pharmacy thing, So any one know of what it really is? I guess its getting popular and im just sheltered. Any way any information would be great I need to know as much as I can if im gonna help my friend.
Thanks
Thanks
I was taking 1mg and 3mg XR. I tried to avoid taking them on weekends. I would sporadically have minor withdrawal symptoms from the 1mg tablets on the weekends, so my doc said just stick with the 3mg XR. No problem. I do not abuse it, nor do I drink heavily although I do have a very high threshold and probably could without difficulty. I don't though because I am also taking 2.5mg Risperidone, 1000mg of Depakote, (Way overrated compare to Seroquel, but less expensive), and 80mg of Prozac.
Xanax is a benzo and if your friend has only one lung she should be really careful ytaking this med. It suppresses the respiratory system and can cause death. The person can literally stop breathing in thier sleep/ It slows down your breathing and is very dangerous to people with comprimixed lungs. She needs to be very careful.

Xanbars are 1mg Xanex which is an anti-anxiety pill. It's a long pill that can be split into 4 equal sections. Yes, it is highly addictive to some. Hold on... I'm gonna go get some info for ya and post it...
I am pretty sure "xanbars" are the really big ones 4mg 3perforations so you can split it up into smaller doses or half dose either way criminal is right benzo's are very adicting and dangerous, now might be a very good time to "talk" to your friend.
xanbars are XANAX its a class of drug called BENZODIAZOPINES..xanax are like valium or clonopin. they are an anti-ainxiety pill wich are HIGHLY addictive and during withdrawals people have seizures,headaches high bl00d pressure and alot of people die during detox (if not under a doctors care during the withdrawals) i myself get prescribed xanax but my doctor refuses to give me the 2mg bars..so i get the 1mg football shaped ones..so keep an eye out for those too. im not tryn to worry you im just bein honast
It's A long thin pill that is used for antianxiety treatment, and/or for people with bad nerve problems. It has four sections, and is basically just four xanax per pill or "bar". Some call them handlebars, or zansabars.
Most people take half to four of these at a time with alcohol. It tremendously increases the effects of alcohol, and most people have a huge amount of memory loss the next after taking it. They are not able to remember much of what happened or what they did the night before.
Tell her these are terrible for her, especially in her condition.
Good Luck, Hun!
