What are Benzodiazepines?
Benzodiazepines such as Valium or Xanax can provide you sweet relief from panic attacks and acute anxiety. These drugs are also known as “Benzos” and are associated with an almost immediate euphoria and calm. Benzodiazepine addiction has also claimed over 67,000 lives in 2018 and has the potential to ruin or end your life.

Can You Get High Off of Anti-Anxiety Medication?
Dependence on anti-anxiety pills develops as your body becomes reliant on the presence of benzodiazepine. Then, can you get high off anti-anxiety medication? When your body forms a firm reliance on anti-anxiety drugs, it requires higher doses to maintain the high and euphoria. It is life-threatening and dangerous to get off these medications on your own.

Understanding Anti-Anxiety Medication
With one in eight adults using benzodiazepines in the U.S, it isn’t surprising that addiction cases are at a troubling high. The anti-anxiety medication acts on the GABA-A receptors of the brain, making nerves less sensitive to stimulation, causing the desired high. These nerves are a part of the central nervous system. Medications like Xanax are intended to relieve acute anxiety symptoms and are fast-acting.
Because of this, this class of anti-anxiety medication usually results in high tolerance and addiction. Anxiety medication is alternatively used as a muscle relaxant, sedative, and hypnotic increasing the likelihood of experiencing a high.

Are Anti-Anxiety Drugs Addictive?
There are not only short-term effects of being addicted to your anti-anxiety medication; there are harmful long-term repercussions as well. Because the chemicals in benzodiazepines work to keep your brain in a tranquilized state, it can lead to cognitive deterioration. Long-term addiction to benzodiazepines can cause impairment in several cognitive domains.
These impairments include but are not restricted to: visuospatial ability, speed of processing, memory impairment, psychological dependence, and verbal learning. Short-term consequences of anti-anxiety medication include memory issues, motor coordination impairment, depression, slurred speech, tremors, and mood swings.
Ultimately, the most permanent impact of getting high on anxiety medication is a fatal overdose. Addiction is not a life sentence, and with proper recovery, we can help you break the pattern of drug abuse.

Effects and Abuse of Anti-Anxiety Medication
Can you get high off anti-anxiety medications? Yes, by crushing or snorting pills, which are sold illegally as well as prescribed. In addition to purchasing street drugs, drug abusers are known to practice “doctor shopping.” Doctor shopping is the act of seeking multiple doctors at once, attempting to obtain more anxiety medications.
If you or a loved one practice this type of behavior, you are at high risk for overdose and addiction. More than 30 percent of overdoses involve anti-anxiety medication, specifically benzodiazepines.

Mental Illness and Anti-Anxiety Medications
When used correctly, benzodiazepines provide temporary relief for mental disorders such as acute anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder, and panic attacks. However, most doctors today do not recommend drugs such as Ativan, Valium, or Klonopin for long-term treatment of anxiety. Long-term use of anxiety medications can lead to other types of mental illness different than stress-related disorders.
If you abuse and are addicted to anxiety medications, you run the risk of being vulnerable to mental illness. Some of these reported risks are hypomania, psychosis, depression, and suicidal thoughts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do anti-anxiety meds do?
Ketamine does not occur naturally; it is entirely synthetic. It was synthesized in 1962 by Calvin Stevens at Parke-Davis pharmaceutical company as part of a search for a safer anesthetic than phencyclidine (PCP). It was first used in humans in 1964 and became widely used as a battlefield anesthetic during the Vietnam War. Today it is produced in pharmaceutical settings for medical use and manufactured in illicit labs for recreational distribution.
Is this little pill a cheat code for anxiety?
No, ketamine is not derived from animals. It is a fully synthetic chemical compound (2-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-(methylamino)cyclohexan-1-one) produced through organic chemistry. It does not exist in nature and cannot be found in animal tissue. The confusion may arise because ketamine is commonly associated with veterinary medicine, where it is widely used as a large-animal anesthetic, but this is a use of a synthetic drug in animals, not a derivation of the drug from animals.
What anxiety meds cause euphoria?
No plant produces ketamine. It is an entirely synthetic pharmaceutical compound with no natural botanical origin. It is produced in laboratory settings through chemical synthesis. This distinguishes it from substances like psilocybin (from mushrooms), mescaline (from peyote cactus), or cocaine (from coca leaves), which originate in plants and fungi. Ketamine's synthetic origin means its entire supply comes from either licensed pharmaceutical manufacturers or illicit production facilities.
What drugs can I take to make me feel happy?
Yes, ketamine is a fully synthetic drug created through chemical synthesis. It has no natural source and does not occur in any plant, animal, or fungus. Pharmaceutical-grade ketamine is manufactured in licensed facilities under strict quality controls and is used in medical and veterinary settings. Illicitly produced ketamine is diverted from legitimate pharmaceutical supply chains or manufactured in illegal labs, primarily in South and Southeast Asia.
What is a calming pill like Xanax?
Ketamine was first synthesized in 1962 by American chemist Calvin Stevens while working for Parke-Davis & Company. It was developed as a short-acting anesthetic to replace PCP, which had problematic side effects. The drug received FDA approval in 1970 and quickly gained use in human and veterinary medicine. Its dissociative properties and relative safety as an anesthetic made it widely used, including as a battlefield anesthetic during the Vietnam War.
What is the 3-3-3 rule for anxiety?
Ketamine is derived from phencyclidine (PCP) structurally, meaning it was developed as a modified version of PCP that retained anesthetic properties with fewer adverse effects. Chemically, it is produced by reacting 2-chlorobenzonitrile with cyclopentylmagnesium chloride and other reagents through a multistep synthesis. The drug has no biological precursor and is entirely the product of chemical manufacturing.
What do anti-anxiety meds feel like?
Ketamine and PCP (phencyclidine) are related in that ketamine was developed as a safer analogue of PCP, but they are distinct chemical compounds. Both are dissociative anesthetics that work primarily by blocking NMDA glutamate receptors, but ketamine is significantly shorter-acting, has a lower potency for inducing severe hallucinations and psychosis, and has a wider safety margin. PCP is rarely used medically today due to its problematic effects; ketamine has retained medical utility as an anesthetic and, more recently, as a treatment for depression.
What is the #1 worst habit for anxiety?
Special K, the street name for ketamine, is made entirely through chemical synthesis in pharmaceutical or illicit laboratories. On the street, it is most commonly found as a powder (pharmaceutical ketamine that has been evaporated from its liquid form) or occasionally in its original liquid form. Most illicitly available ketamine is diverted from legitimate pharmaceutical sources or manufactured in clandestine labs in countries with less strict pharmaceutical controls.
What are 5 warning signs of anxiety?
Ketamine is entirely a chemical substance with no natural origin. It is one of the more purely synthetic substances in common medical or recreational use, having no plant, animal, or fungal source. Its effects are produced by blocking NMDA glutamate receptors in the brain, creating a dissociative state. Unlike many substances with long histories of human use, ketamine is a mid-20th century pharmaceutical invention with no pre-modern use history.
What is the instant anxiety pill?
There is no single "instant anxiety pill" that is both effective and safe for regular use. Benzodiazepines like Xanax act quickly (within 15 to 30 minutes) and powerfully reduce acute anxiety, but they carry serious dependence risk. Propranolol (a beta-blocker) is used for situational anxiety like public speaking and acts quickly without the dependence risk. Hydroxyzine can reduce anxiety within an hour and is non-addictive. For people in recovery from addiction, benzodiazepines should be avoided, and alternatives like hydroxyzine or beta-blockers are preferred for acute anxiety management.
