Xanax (alprazolam) is an oral prescription medication used to treat such conditions as anxiety and panic disorders. Inform your doctor about the fact of having breathing problems, kidney or liver disease, a history of depression, glaucoma, addiction to drugs and alcohol, or suicidal thoughts before asking for prescription, as this can affect your treatment with Xanax. If you are allergic to other benzodiazepines, such as clorazepate, diazepam, lorazepam, oxazepam, or chlordiazepoxide, do not take Xenical to avoid serious consequences. If you have a history of depression, asthma, kidney or liver disease, bronchitis, emphysema, glaucoma, suicidal thoughts or behavior, a history of drug or alcohol addiction, additional tests may be required for you to safely take this medicine.

Seek medical assistance if you experience these serious side effects of Xanax: fainting, lightheadedness, urinating less than usual, muscle twitching, tremor, jaundice, depressed mood, suicidal thoughts, agitation, hostility, hyperactivity, hallucinations and seizures. When you talk to your doctor about taking Xanax make sure you mention the fact of taking any of the following drugs: antidepressants, antibiotics, seizure medication, propoxyphene, isoniazid, diltiazem, birth control pills or cimetidine.
