Possession of Karen
Evermore common; it’s frightening how similar this demeanor, behavior, possession is to other persons more and more.
The cackling, laughing, self-cajoling and talking to self as if others were present…raging and mania, a cadre of spirits or entities present…an infestation of demonica known also as “LEGION”. Reminds strongly of the related Klebold and Harris facades.
Xanax (Alprazolam) is a medication belonging to the benzodiazepine class, primarily used to treat anxiety disorders, panic disorders, and sometimes generalized anxiety caused by depression. It works by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, which produces a calming effect.

- Panic Disorders: Helps manage sudden episodes of intense fear.
- Short-Term Management: Sometimes prescribed for insomnia or acute stress in specific situations.
Common Side Effects
- Drowsiness
- Dizziness
- Fatigue
- Dry mouth
- Reduced coordination or balance
- Cognitive and memory impairments
Serious Side Effects
- Dependence and Withdrawal: Long-term use or abrupt discontinuation can lead to physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms, which may include seizures.
- Memory Issues: Xanax can cause short-term memory impairment or amnesia, particularly at higher doses.
- Hallucinations: Rare but possible, especially in sensitive individuals or with misuse.
- Mood Changes: Irritability, agitation, or depressive symptoms.
- Dementia Risk: Some studies suggest a potential association between long-term benzodiazepine use and an increased risk of dementia, although this is debated and not conclusively proven.
- Respiratory Depression: Can suppress breathing, especially when combined with alcohol or other depressants.
Precautions
- Age: Older adults are more prone to side effects like confusion and increased fall risk.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: May harm the fetus or pass into breast milk.
