*'''[[Effect::Compulsive redosing]]''' - Alprazolam produces [[disinhibition~~]] and [[euphoria~~]] which, along with its memory suppressing effects, can easily lead the user to black out and redose continually until their supply runs out or they lose consciousness. This effect can place the user at risk of fatal overdose from respiratory depression if they are consuming it with [[alcohol]] or other [[depressants]].

*'''[[Effect::Compulsive redosing]]''' - Alprazolam produces [[disinhibition]] which, along with its memory suppressing effects, can easily lead the user to black out and redose continually until their supply runs out or they lose consciousness. This effect can place the user at risk of fatal overdose from respiratory depression if they are consuming it with [[alcohol]] or other [[depressants]].

*'''[[Effect::Confusion]]''' - Alprazolam can cause confusion at heavy doses. This effect is a result of the drug suppressing basic cognitive functions such as comprehension, memory, and reasoning skills.

*'''[[Effect::Delusions|Delusions of sobriety]]''' - This is the false belief that one is perfectly sober despite obvious evidence to the contrary such as severe cognitive impairment and an inability to fully communicate with others. It most commonly occurs at heavy dosages.

*'''[[Effect::Disinhibition]]~~'''{{citation needed}} - Alprazolam has strong disinhibiting effects greater than that of other benzodiazepines like [[valium]] as well as [[alcohol]], but lower than that of [[GHB]].~~

*'''[[Effect::Disinhibition]]

*'''[[Effect::Dream suppression]]'''{{citation needed}} - Benzodiazepines like alprazolam generally inhibit REM sleep and suppress the experience of dreaming. Sleep on benzodiazepines is generally reported to be deep and refreshing, although it should be noted that the actual sleep quality is lower which is why the use of benzodiazepines as long-term sleep aids is not advised.

*'''[[Effect::Emotion suppression]]''' - Although alprazolam primarily suppresses anxiety, it also dulls other emotions in a manner which is distinct but less intensive than that of [[antipsychotics]].
