Dr. Andrew Weil: Xanax Addiction is Worse Than Opioids

Over recent years, cries have rung out from people from all walks of life decrying the opioid epidemic that has been happening in America. More and more people are becoming severely addicted to heroin and pills (Oxycodone, Oxycontin, Percocet, etc.) because more and more doctors are carelessly prescribing powerful dosages of the drugs. This already deadly situation has been made even more critical since dealers are cutting their products with the super-powerful opioid fentanyl.

According to the doc, the much-abused anxiety medication Xanax is a worse addiction than opioids. Check out what he has to say about the matter above.
