Anxiety medication- A boon or a curse?

               

There was a time when people were satisfied in their lives; there were no worries, no tensions and no stress busters. The current scenario is just the opposite. There is hardly anyone who is not anxious. Be it a 60 year old man who has to think of the ways to earn his living or a 10 year old boy who is already stressed because of the current competition going in the school, almost everyone has a lot of stress in their lives. To strive under the current competition, people have resorted to consume pills claiming to reduce their stress.

Xanax is one such anxiety medication that comes under the category of drugs called benzodiazepines.
