How To Treat Anxiety & Depression ?
Xanax is a brand name for the medication known generically as alprazolam. It is a prescription medication that belongs to a class of drugs called benzodiazepines. Xanax is primarily used for the management of anxiety disorders and panic disorder.
Alprazolam works by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. GABA helps to calm excessive brain activity, resulting in a sedative and anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) effect.
Xanax is available in immediate-release tablets and extended-release tablets (Xanax XR). The immediate-release formulation is commonly used for the treatment of anxiety disorders, while the extended-release formulation is used for longer-lasting symptom control in individuals with panic disorder.
