Xanax contains alprazolam, the primary active ingredient responsible for its therapeutic effects, which belongs to the benzodiazepines class. It is commonly prescribed to treat anxiety disorders, panic disorders, and, in some cases, short-term relief of anxiety symptoms. Xanax 2 mg is one of its variants. It is a high-dose medication, used for managing severe anxiety disorders and panic disorders. Due to its strength, it carries a higher risk of dependency and is typically prescribed for short-term use. It takes 30 minutes to show its effects. The 2mg tablet is white and contains 2 mg in one whole pill, but it can easily be split into four segments. Each segment is meant to be a single 0.5 mg dose of Xanax. This type of Xanax has ‘XANAX’ clearly imprinted across the surface.
