Xanax is classified in the sedative and Anxiolytic class of drugs called Benzodiazepines. Xanax’s generic name is Alprazolam.

Xanax pills are usually prescribed by a psychiatrist to treat unbalanced chemicals in the brain to help ease or avoid anxiety symptoms or panic attacks.

Physiology and Side Effects of Xanax  Abuse

Xanax is processed by the central nervous system and the brain. Xanax works by binding y-aminobutyric acid A (GABA) receptors in the brain and boosting them in the brain, which results in slowing down nerve cell activity in the brain. In smaller prescribed doses, Xanax pills can work to reduce emotions that cause anxiety and panic attacks. In larger doses, Xanax can produce a euphoric effect along with severe addictive properties.

Taking Xanax has many side effects, and tolerance is quickly developed. Developing a tolerance to Xanax leads to needing higher, and more frequent doses of Xanax to achieve the same euphoric results that were once obtained by lesser amounts of Xanax.
