| Alkohol / Ethanol | Alprazolam | |
|---|---|---|
| Class | Depressiva | Depressiva |
| Risk Level | high | high |
| Mechanisms | GABA-A-Potenzierung, NMDA-Antagonismus, Endorphinfreisetzung | GABA-A positive allosterische Modulation |
| Receptors | GABA-A, NMDA | GABA-A |
| Effects | — | anxiolytisch, sedativ, muskelentspannend, antikonvulsiv, amnesierend |
