Im a newer player at this game but understand it pretty well. I have taken xanax and 4 out of the 17 times i have, i have overdosed. Im unsure if this is just really shitty luck considering i have active faction perks to reduce this, or is their something more i should be doing to reduce how often this happens?

Addiction mitigation merits will not reduce your OD chances.
you said it yourself - shitty luck
don't sweat it, it happens

23% OD on xanax is real shitty though,
It’s basically just RNG.
You’ve got the faction perks so they’re the only thing that really helps.

It'll average out at like 2-3% over time.
As others have mentioned, overdose chance really is just random. With relatively few xanax taken, your overdose percentage can seem way high. But as you take more, that should even out eventually to the apx. 2% rate for xanax. Faction specials do help, though you may not be feeling like that now.
Have you been taking Xanax that was purchased in Canada by chance? Never ingest the Canadian Xanax. It is tainted.
I had a high rate of xanax OD early on in the game also. Don't sweat it. Keep doing it, xannies are your friend in the game!
A 7* or higher Nightclub has perk for such thing. Not really a new player type job with the stats required, but you may find one that will take you.
Tolerance: 50% drug overdose chance reduction

In addition to this you really oughta say your prayers in the church daily.
“Dear Lord,
Please, please, please protect me from overdosing on this xanax I am about to pop in my mouth.
Amen.”
Your overdoses will lessen dramatically.

To reduce overdose you should join a faction that has full toleration upgrade on main trees and secondary trees.
It can also be reduced by 50% in a 7* Nightclub company with the passive "Toleration" special.
You can spend your merits to fully upgrade on Addiction Mitigation : Reduces the negative effects of addiction by 2%
However you still have a chance of overdosing, this game is made for that. There are no perfection when play this game so get used to it.

Agreed that over more Xanax you'll see the real overdose chance. 17 Xanax is barely enough to qualify as a representative data. Just keep taking it. Rehab as necessary.

If you look at my overdose stats. I'm right around 2% and I've done some of the drug merits. Ketamine greatly skewed my ODs early on. But now that I'm just using Xanax it's evened right out to that 2% area.
Shit luck but that's about all it is.
