What is "alprazolam"?
Alprazolam is a medication prescribed to treat anxiety and panic disorders. It works by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter in the brain to cause relaxation and reduce anxiety. Alprazolam is often used on a short-term basis because of its potential for addiction and withdrawal symptoms if used long-term.
