Hi Donna; Alprazolam is a benzodiazepine, in other words, a tranquilizer. It is the generic name for the prescription medication Xanax.  You may have heard of Valium or Librium, and this medication works in a similar fashion. You can read more about alprazolam here. This can be obtained by a prescription only. I hope this helps,   Dr. Diana Walcutt The Stress Masters *Dr. Walcutt is a Psychologist, not a Psychiatrist. Psychiatrists prescribe medications.
