About
Xanax is a widely recognized brand name for the prescription drug alprazolam, which falls under the benzodiazepine class of medications. Primarily prescribed for the treatment of anxiety disorders, panic disorders, and anxiety associated with depression, Xanax exerts its effects by enhancing the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that helps regulate brain activity.
