Namaste,

Mr Green is absolutely correct. I just wanted to add some additional information, however, that you might find helpful.

Xanax is in a group of drugs called benzodiazepines (ben-zoe-dye-AZE-eh-peens). Xanax affects chemicals in the brain that may become unbalanced and cause anxiety.

Xanax is used to treat anxiety disorders, panic disorders, and anxiety caused by depression.

Xanax may also be used for purposes other than those listed.

Hope this helps.
