Since Xanax® (alprazolam) can cause physical and psychological dependence, Xanax addiction may be likely to occur if the drug has been taken daily in high doses or for long periods of time. If you are taking increasing doses of Xanax or feel like you cannot stop the medicine, you need to talk with a healthcare provider because Xanax addiction is a serious problem that requires treatment.
