Anxiety and panic disorders are haunting the daily life of many people. Unfortunately, these are some of the most common mental disorders present in us in some form.

Xanax is a prescription medicine that helps in the treatment of anxiety and panic disorders. It is related to a class of drugs known as benzodiazepines.

It works in the brain and suppresses the chemicals that are causing anxiety in the user. It also helps to calm the brain's nerves by enhancing the effects of certain chemicals in the brain known as GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid).

The generic name Xanax is Alprazolam, a schedule IV controlled substance by the Drug and Enforcement Administration.
