Xanax tablets, comprising lorazepam, are prescribed to mitigate symptoms of anxiety disorders, insomnia, and specific types of seizures. Lorazepam acts by enhancing the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that induces relaxation. With its calming effect on the central nervous system, Xanax aids in alleviating anxiety, promoting sleep, and reducing the severity and frequency of seizures. Caution is advised due to potential dependency and withdrawal symptoms. Healthcare providers typically prescribe Xanax at the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary, with close monitoring to manage potential side effects and assess effectiveness.
