Sleep disorders
- By reducing the time to fall asleep and promoting the actual sleep phase, Xanax can help with relief in individuals with history of sleep disorders and insomnia.
Muscle spasms
- Xanax by inhibiting the nerve impulses and reducing the amplitude of muscle spasms, can help with promoting muscle relaxation and offers relief with muscle pain and discomfort.
Anxiety
- By activation of GABA-benzodiazepine receptor complex, Xanax results in overall depression of brain and spinal cord, thus resulting in control of anxiety in individuals with history of anxiety disorders.
