It is one of the most commonly prescribed medications for these conditions, and is also used to treat insomnia, seizures, and other mental health issues. Xanax works by increasing the activity of a neurotransmitter in the brain called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which helps to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. It is available in both immediate-release and extended-release forms, and is usually taken orally. Xanax is one of the most widely prescribed medications for mental health disorders, and is often used in combination with other medications and therapies. It is generally considered to be safe and effective when taken as prescribed, but can be habit-forming and should be used with caution.
