About
Xanax, also known by its generic name alprazolam, is a widely prescribed benzodiazepine medication that is primarily used to treat anxiety disorders and panic attacks. It is classified as a central nervous system (CNS) depressant, which means it slows down brain activity to induce a calming effect.
One of the main reasons Xanax has become a popular prescription medication is its quick onset of action. When taken orally, its effects can usually be felt within 20-30 minutes. This rapid relief from anxiety symptoms is particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with acute anxiety or panic attacks.
