Alprazolam is a highly effective, fast acting benzodiazepine drug used for anxiety and panic disorders. Though of low risk to the user short term, (30 days or less) it's addictive potential makes it very risky for use long term. One physician has described it as "An excellent drug for short-term use, a very bad drug for long-term use". It's most common trade name is Zanax.

Alprazolam is commonly used to treat anxiety disorders, panic disorders, and anxiety associated with depression. It is a benzodiazepine that works by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter in the brain to promote calmness and relaxation. It should be used cautiously due to its potential for dependence and tolerance.
