Noah Cyrus is speaking out about her past addiction to Xanax, a type of benzodiazepines that can be used to treat anxiety and panic disorders.
The 22-year-old “July” singer spoke out in her new interview about when she first tried the pill and when she hit her lowest moments.

“My boyfriend at the time, when I was 18, was the first person that gave me a Xanax, and it became a way for us to bond,” she told Rolling Stone. “I think I wanted to fit in with him. I wanted to be what he wanted and what he thought was cool and what I thought everybody was doing. Once I felt that it was possible to silence things out for a second and numb your pain, it was over.” (FYI: Noah did not name the boyfriend, but many believe it to be Lil Xan, who she dated around that time. She called the relationship a “mistake” after their breakup.)
About acquiring the pill, which is only available by prescription, she said, “I was surrounded by people who were easily able to get it by buying it from people.”
She told the magazine she would sleep all day, wake up at 8pm, and it began to impact her memory. In 2020, she hit her worst, she recalled.
She recalled one of her lowest moments was promoting The End of Everything and she started to pass out in the middle of the interview.
“I was completely nodding off and falling asleep, and unable to keep my head up or keep my eyes open, because I was so far gone,” she added.
Another moment she recalls is the death of her grandmother Loretta in August 2020, where she said, “I felt so guilty for not being there when my grandma died. I was there physically, but emotionally, I was not there. I couldn’t be,” she said, adding she shut down from her mom Tish Cyrus, who was grieving. “That was my big eye-opener: I was sitting alone, and I was scared, and I realized that all the people that I love and all the people that I need, I was the one pushing them away.”
In December of that year, Noah came under fire for a tweet using an offensive word (for which she apologized publicly.)
She didn’t go into her recovery, only saying that, “I was being helped by everybody that I needed help from, and it took some time to get on my own two feet.”
