Controversy surrounding Xanax and Psy's proxy receipt: What are the effects and side effects?

The recent issue that has surfaced is the Xanax scandal. Singer Psy is under police investigation on allegations that he received sleeping pills on his behalf through his manager. His agency stated, "The receipt of the medication on his behalf was an oversight, but there was no prescription on his behalf."

 

Regardless of the truth of the incident, many people are confused about the nature of sleep and anxiety medications like Xanax. This time, we've compiled a comprehensive overview of Xanax's effects and risks, as well as its differences from similar medications like Stilnox.

▶ What is Xanax?

Xanax is a benzodiazepine psychotropic medication used to treat anxiety, panic disorder, and insomnia. It works by enhancing the action of the neurotransmitter GABA, thereby relieving anxiety and providing a calming effect.

 

- Effects: Relieves anxiety, relieves tension, and induces sleep.
- Target audience: Mainly patients with anxiety disorder, insomnia, and depression
- Caution: Long-term use is dangerous as it may cause dependence and tolerance.

 

So, Xanax is a drug that must be diagnosed and prescribed by a specialist, and the prescribed dosage must be followed.

People who actually take Xanax say it works well initially, but over time they need more and more to achieve the same effect. This is called "tolerance."

▶ Differences between the effects of Xanax and Stilnox

The drug that is often compared is Stilnox.

= Xanax: Focused on relieving anxiety and aiding sleep
= Steelnox: Sleeping pill series, strong immediate sleep-inducing effect

 

In other words, Xanax is mainly used to relieve anxiety and tension. Stilnox is better known as a 'sleep aid'. 

Both drugs carry a risk of dependence, and abuse can lead to withdrawal symptoms, memory impairment, and difficulty concentrating.

 

It is often used, especially in occupations with irregular schedules and high stress levels, such as celebrities, but this is also why it is often controversial.

▶ Controversy over Psy's proxy prescription and proxy receipt

- Psy's agency's position:

- Proxy receipt is a fact, an admission of negligence
- However, he drew the line and said there was no proxy prescription.
- Psy claimed to have been diagnosed with a chronic sleep disorder and was taking medication according to the prescribed dosage.

 

 

- Parts under police investigation:

- Whether or not you have been prescribed medication for several years without a face-to-face consultation
- Number of times the manager received it on your behalf and whether it was repeated
- Possibility of violating the Medical Act or Pharmaceutical Affairs Act

 

 

What's important in this case is 'Proxy collection' and 'Proxy prescription' ' It's the difference.

 

proxy prescription The illegality is greater,

Proxy receipt It is a problem, but the level of punishment can vary depending on the situation.

 

But it is also true that because he was a famous celebrity, he caused a bigger social stir.

▶ Xanax Side Effects and Precautions

Xanax is as powerful as it is effective. side effect It definitely exists.

- Drowsiness, dizziness, memory loss
- Drug dependence and withdrawal symptoms when taken for a long period of time
- Risk of respiratory depression when taken with alcohol

 

Once you start taking it habitually, it is not easy to stop, and if you suddenly stop taking it, withdrawal symptoms may appear severe, so you must reduce the dose under the guidance of a doctor.

For this reason, Xanax is regulated as a 'strictly prescribed drug' overseas.

▶ Conclusion: How to take Xanax safely

Although it is receiving renewed attention due to the Psy incident, Xanax itself is not a dangerous drug.

However, it is safe to follow the established procedure (diagnosis → prescription → administration). 

 

This controversy is not a personal problem for Psy, but rather an example that shows the lack of awareness and management of the use of sleeping pills and anti-anxiety drugs in our society as a whole.

 

Psychotropic drugs including Xanax 'A drug that is easily accessible but easily addictive' I think we should always remember that.

 

I hope that this celebrity incident will serve as an opportunity for ordinary people to become aware of the dangers of indiscriminately purchasing drugs.
