What is Alprazolam?


Alprazolam is in a group of drugs called benzodiazepines. To be more precise, Alprazolam is a triazolobenzodiazepine - that is, a benzodiazepine with a triazolo-ring attached to its structure. Benzodiazepines produce a variety of effects by modulating the GABAA subtype of the GABA receptor, the most prolific inhibitory receptor within the brain. Alprazolam affects chemicals in the brain that may become unbalanced and cause anxiety. The medication is used to treat anxiety disorders, panic disorders, and anxiety caused by depression.

Alprazolam is FDA-approved only for the short-term treatment (up to 8 weeks). The body gets quickly used to the drug's effects, and, as a result, the efficacy of the medicine decreases.

But the major limiting factor against long-term use of Alprazolam and other benzodiazepines is physical dependence. Like all benzodiazepines, Alprazolam has the potential for abuse. Although it is not manufactured illegally, it is often diverted to the black market. The state of relaxation and disinhibition induced by benzodiazepines is the main reason for their illicit use. You should remember the facts when planning to buy Alprazolam.
