Does xanax (alprazolam) completely stop anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Xanax (alprazolam) is a benzodiazepine. This is a class of medication that is similar in effect to alcohol, and can be helpful for anxiety. It is best to use only in the short term; other medications such as ssris (for example, lexapro) are better choices in the long run.
