Xanax is a brand name for the medication alprazolam, which belongs to a class of drugs known as benzodiazepines. It is primarily prescribed for the treatment of anxiety disorders and panic disorder, as well as for the short-term relief of symptoms of anxiety. Xanax is commonly prescribed to manage symptoms of various anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder (SAD), and specific phobias. It helps to reduce feelings of anxiety, worry, and nervousness by enhancing the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that has a calming effect on the brain.
