In reply to how does xanax work?, posted by gingersnap on July 21, 2003, at 22:28:24
In the most simplest of explanations, most of these types of meds work by acting on some chemical brain systems to decrease their "excitablilty". Through those actions, it calms down the "fight or flight" response that gets overactivated in anxiety and panic states. There are those here who can really explain it, but that's my understanding and simple seems to work better for me to figure it all out.
