Alprozolam

Alprazolam (Xanax®) is a medication that is prescribed for treating panic disorder and anxiety. The drug, which is a type of benzodiazepine, can help to improve symptoms of these conditions by relaxing muscles, stopping seizures, and reducing anxiety. It comes in tablet form and is available in four strengths -- 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg, and 2 mg. The medicine is generally taken two or three times daily.
 
From time to time, alprazolam may be prescribed "off-label" for the treatment of conditions other than those mentioned above. Among these possible off-label alprazolam uses are the treatment of agitation, insomnia, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Some possible side effects of alprazolam include sexual problems, fatigue, weight gain, and drowsiness.
