After witnessing all of these side effects and how much it destroys the person's brain, I gotta ask...
Who the fuck prescribes Xanax? Or any drug that basically destroys the brain?
Because when you affect a person's memory, you technically kill them.
Might as well dome yourself and save yourself the long suffering of popping Xanax all the time.
Most drugs are fine when prescribed for a limited period of time, under supervision, and with a plan for long-term management of a mental disorder.
However it depends on the illness.
Most people who get antidepressants are on them for a short period, usually because they have a major dip in mood, and they need something to help them through their grief.
Schizos are on anti-psychotic medications for life usually because they're unmanageable without them.
Bipolar people need mood stabilizers to keep them from going from pole(depression)to pole(mania) so extremely.
Xanax is usually for people who have anxiety in a serious sense, like panic attack level. Being a benzo family drug, it's a tranquilizer, so it slows a person down. For someone with severe anxiety it makes them chill.
The problem is a person like Ralph. Being a piglet who drinks heavily, likely to the point of him getting Delirium tremens, combining with xanax is compounding the usually depressive effects of alcohol.
Being a fat retard who has embraced a completely unproductive lifestyle of wiggerism, Ralph is perturbed by the gulf between his fantasy of being a happy wigger, and the reality that being a wigger entails.
For a person who wants to check out of life this is the appeal of pill popping and drinking. Ralph wants to escape the hell of his own creation by escaping his reality through liquor and xannies.
The danger is by combining the two, he leads himself down the two paths of lethal withdrawal possibilities.
Alcohol is often extremely deadly to withdraw from because your body forms a physical as opposed to a purely psychological dependence on it. Withdrawal for heavy drinkers usually results in seizures and a miriad of other physical effects.. Ironically benzos are used to supress these seizures and are considered effective for the treatment of severe alcohol withdrawal.
Wikipedia gives us the following rather chilling warning.
"The risk factors for benzodiazepine dependence are long-term use beyond four weeks, use of high doses, use of potent short-acting benzodiazepines, dependent personalities, and proclivity for substance use. Use of short-acting benzodiazepines leads to repeated withdrawal effects that are alleviated by the next dose, which reinforce in the individual the dependence. A physical dependence develops more quickly with higher potency benzodiazepines such as
alprazolam (Xanax) than with lower potency benzodiazepines such as
chlordiazepoxide (Librium).
Symptom severity is worse with the use of high doses, or with benzodiazepines of high potency or short half-life. Other
cross-tolerant sedative hypnotics, such as
barbiturates or
alcohol, increase the risk of benzodiazepine dependence."
TLDR;
Benzos have their legit uses. Ralph is not a legit user.
I would strongly recommend people read through these Wikipedia articles on the topic, as they give a pretty concise overview of what to expect when expecting rage-pig decay.
