Xanax, chemical name: Alprazolam (al-PRAZ-oh-lam) belongs to the class of psychoactive drugs called Central Nervous System Agents/Anxiolytics, Sedatives and Hypnotics/Benzodiazepines. It is a benzodiazepine anxiolytic used in the treatment of anxiety disorders. Benzodiazepines are the most commonly used anti-anxiety drugs because they are fairly safe, they rapidly reduce the symptoms of anxiety and they don't have to be taken on an ongoing basis in order to be effective. All benzodiazepines cause dose-related suppression of the central nervous system, varying from slight impairment to hypnosis. http://www.erowid.org/pharms/alprazolam/alprazolam.shtml
