Can you die if you take too much xanax how much?

Yes, alprazolam is a sedative/hypnotic medication in the benzodiazepine class. It acts on the GABA receptors in the brain and central nervous system and causes sleep, amnesia, and respiratory depression.

In overdose, respiratory depression may occur to the extent that you stop breathing, which leads to death. The risk is higher if you mix it with any other sedating medications, such as alcohol, any pain medication, or other sedatives.
