用法筆記
Xanax is a trademarked brand name (owned by Pfizer), though English speakers often use it to refer to the generic drug alprazolam. Frequently used in the pattern 'be on Xanax' to describe someone receiving the drug as ongoing treatment. The word is usually uncountable ('she takes Xanax') but can be countable for a single tablet ('she took a Xanax').
