"Xanax bars" is a street and colloquial term for the high-dose, rectangular pill form of alprazolam, a prescription benzodiazepine primarily used to treat severe anxiety and panic disorders. The name originates from the distinct, block-like shape of the tablet A standard, legitimate Xanax bar typically contains 2 milligrams (mg) of alprazolam. Because 2 mg is considered a high-strength dose, these rectangular pills are manufactured with score lines. These indentations allow a patient to easily break the bar into halves (1 mg) or quarters (0.5 mg or 0.25 mg) for precise dosing as directed by a doctor While brand-name Xanax bars are white, generic versions come in multiple colors depending on the pharmaceutical manufacturer. Common street nicknames are heavily influenced by these colors and shape
