How it works:
Alprazolam is effective due to its ability to enhance the action of a relaxant chemical in your brain which is known as GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). GABA is a decelerating agent of nerve activity, which makes you become relaxed, less anxious, and in control. To put it briefly, it serves to calm down the hyperactivity of the brain, that is what actually leads to anxiety and panic symptoms.
