Alprazolam is a benzodiazepine that acts on the central nerve system by increasing the effect of the neurotransmitter GABA. This results in sedative (sleep inducing), anti-anxiety, anxiolytic, and muscle relaxing properties.
Alprazolam can be used to treat panic disorder or generalized anxiety disorder. It can help reduce anxiety and panic symptoms and calm the body and mind. It is important to remember that Alprazolam shouldn’t be used for a long time due to the potential of dependence, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms.
Alprazolam dosage varies widely depending on the condition being treated, the patient’s response, their age, weight and general health. Typically, a small dose is started and then gradually increased by a medical professional.
Alprazolam can be a very effective treatment for certain anxiety disorders. Due to the potential for abuse and dependence, Alprazolam should only be used under the guidance of a health professional.
