Upon first blush, patients often innocently confound the supratherapeutic (excessive) effect of a habit-forming drug with its intended effect, leading to unhealthy and unrealistic expectations for how a medicine is supposed to make them "feel." Medications like benzodiazepines that combat anxiety should not result in any discernible "feeling" at all: the patient should merely be devoid of anxiety. Alprazolam (Xanax) in particular results in more euphoria than the others, and patients who are prone to substance abuse are especially distracted by its euphorigenic properties.
