Alprazolam, available as Alprex, is one of the most prescribed medications for anxiety and panic disorders in the world. Understanding how it works can help you make informed decisions about your treatment.
How Alprazolam Works
Alprazolam belongs to the benzodiazepine class of medications. It works by enhancing the effects of GABA, a neurotransmitter that promotes calmness and relaxation in the brain. This results in rapid reduction of anxiety symptoms.
