Need advice on what is the the main difference between valium and xanax (alprazolam)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Short vs long acting: Xanax (alprazolam) works for shorter periods, typically 4-6 hours, while valium works for 12-16 hours. Both are in the class of medications known as benzodiazepines, which work by increasing the effect of gaba, the generally inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain.
