Xanax is an FDA-approved prescription drug used as an anti-anxiety medication that acts on specific neurotransmitters in the brain. The drug is classified as a benzodiazepine as it acts on the central nervous system and brain to bring a calming effect within a few minutes of its use. Xanax is one of the most fast-acting medications used to treat anxiety disorders, depression, and panic disorder.

What is Xanax used for?

Xanax is a short-term treatment for generalized anxiety disorders, panic disorder, and depression. It can also act as a sedative and muscle relaxant and is known to help with issues related to muscle tension and spasms.

The tablet works by quickly disintegrating in the bloodstream to join receptors to promote neurotransmitter activities. The tablet focuses on producing GABA, blocks specific brain signals, and decreases activity in the nervous system.

GABA levels are low for patients with anxiety or panic disorder, causing the mind and body to act imbalanced. Xanax reduces abnormal or unusual impulses and simultaneously induces relaxation, calmness, and sedation. After taking Xanax, chemical levels are regulated, leading to the brain and body functioning normally.
