they are made by many different manufacturers; so the size, shape and color will be different from pill to pill, alot actually look like blood pressure medications. so if you buy them off the street their is a very good chance it probally wont even be what your looking for. the best way to know what it looks like is to get a prescription from a doctor and take it to the pharmacy.
for the powerful question yes they have different strengths and again they look different from manufacturer to manufacturer.
xanax works with your central nervous system to calm it and thus calming you. its used for anxiety, sleeplessness and seizures. and i don’t recommend taking any without a doctors prescription.

Is Marijuana Proven to Be Addictive?
Question by fangfist: Is marijuana proven to be addictive?
I thought it was only psychological but this government website says otherwise, if you have any websites to recommend to look at for addictive potential list them. Does this only apply to long-term users? Here is the link and what it says http://drugabuse.gov/infofacts/marijuana.html
Addictive Potential
Long-term marijuana abuse can lead to addiction; that is, compulsive drug seeking and abuse despite the known harmful effects upon functioning in the context of family, school, work, and recreational activities. Estimates from research suggest that about 9 percent of users become addicted to marijuana; this number increases among those who start young (to about 17 percent) and among daily users (25-50 percent).
Long-term marijuana abusers trying to quit report withdrawal symptoms including: irritability, sleeplessness, decreased appetite, anxiety, and drug craving, all of which can make it difficult to remain abstinent. These symptoms begin within about 1 day following abstinence, peak at 2-3 days, and subside within 1 or 2 weeks following drug cessation.3
Heroin Withdrawal: What Type of Drugs Would a Mother Take if the Baby Was Born Wityh Amphetamines and Opiates in It’s Sysyem?
Question by mom2ahkg: what type of drugs would a mother take if the baby was born wityh amphetamines and opiates in it’s sysyem?
We are adopting a baby that was born with amphetamines and opiates in it’s system. I am not familiar with drugs at all. What kind of drug would the mother be taking to get this mixture to her unborn child. I highly doubt it is prescription, as she would never go to the dr while pregnant.I’m sure it’s a street drug one could make at home. I want to do research on this and worst case scenarios we could look for as the baby’s central nervous system grows. We love the baby no matter what, but what kind of help could she need? I can only get those answers if I know what drug to look up, I guess. We see a neurologist soon. Just curious, meanwhile. Thanks
