About

Alprazolam, commonly known as Xanax, is a benzodiazepine medication prescribed to treat anxiety disorders and panic attacks. It works by enhancing the effects of neurotransmitters in the brain, inducing a calming effect. However, it carries a risk of dependence, tolerance, and withdrawal symptoms, especially with long-term use or misuse.
