Frequently Asked Questions
Is alprazolam the same as Xanax?
Yes — alprazolam is the generic name for Xanax. It contains the same active ingredient at the same doses and costs $8–$15/month.
How does alprazolam compare to lorazepam for anxiety?
Alprazolam has a faster onset and shorter half-life than lorazepam. Lorazepam lasts slightly longer. Both are controlled substances; your doctor determines which is appropriate.
Is buspirone a good non-addictive alternative to alprazolam?
Buspirone is non-habit-forming and effective for generalised anxiety disorder, but it takes 2–4 weeks to work — unlike alprazolam which acts quickly. Ask your doctor if it suits your situation.
Can I get alprazolam cheaper through Script Unlock?
Generic alprazolam is already very affordable, but Script Unlock pharmacies regularly offer cash prices of $10–$18/month, sometimes beating GoodRx.
Is there a non-controlled anxiety medication that works like alprazolam?
Buspirone and SSRIs (sertraline, escitalopram) treat chronic anxiety without the controlled-substance risk. They are not effective for acute panic the way benzodiazepines are.
