What Can Be Done For Abnormal Behavior After Taking Xanax?

My son took Xananx that was prescribed for my wife and he started acting really different. Not making sense when u talks and is doing things that he has never done before. It's been 24 hours now and he is starting to come back to his self. What should I do? I had him take a drug test and it showed BZO as the drug he said he took for first time.

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Xanax is a benzodiazapine and its elimination half life is 10-12 hours. It would come out of body in 2 to 3 days. There is nothing to worry about these symptoms. These symptoms may be due to drugs sedative effect which would resolve in few days. Remain cautious about future.

Thanks
