Xanax is given to people who suffer from anxiety and stress because it makes a calming effect by influencing the result of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). This acid is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in human nervous system. Almost 80% of nervous connections are related to this acid.
During high anxiety and depression brain releases gamma – aminobutyric acid (GABA) which calms down the person. Xanax binds these receptors and reduce the chances of anxiety and negative activity of our brain.
