It modulates the effectiveness of the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, of course it causes horrible dependence. People have such a problem with xanax because of its short half life not because its very unique aside from its ability to pass through the blood brain barrier faster and easier than other meds. I dont think its hitting any GABAa receptors other benzos arent.
Although in high daily doses its shown anti-depressant effects. But were talking 3-5+ mg daily.
