Hello
I can understand that you may be feeling anxious lately. However medicines like Alpraquil should NEVER be taken WITHOUT DOCTORS PRESCRIPTION. A doctor prescribing this to you would ensure you get the right dosage based upon your weight, height and condition.
Please see an experienced psychiatrist online or in person to learn how to manage stress better, both with and without medications.

Anxit (alprazolam) can be used for emergency for anxiety. If the symptoms are present on most of the days continuously, you need to consult a psychiatrist and get your anxiety/ depression evaluated and may need a course of safe daily medications. Anxit should never be taken daily. Long term it can cause serious problems like early dementia, cognitive changes, personality changes, even withdrawal seizures, all the best.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Alprazolam is an anti anxiety drug, given to calm the mind. Where as the tablet you have mentioned is a hypnotic that is sleep inducing drug. Both are different. Thanks.

Hi lybrate-user, alprazolam is a very addictive drug. It can cause agitation, tension,anxiety and sleeplessness on suddenly stopping it. It is a dependence producing drug. I suggest you take your friend to a neaby neuropsychiatrist. He will definitely help your friend .Wish him a speedy recovery, best of luck.

Anxiety may be due to excessive medication and diet restrictions. Why do you take rosuvastatin? It should be taken by those who have suffered serious blockages, very very seldom useful for abnormal levels of cholesterol. Take a balanced diet with less sugar jaggery alcohol tobacco and starchy foods. Include traditional foods like butter, nuts, oils, milk etc. The secret to good health is good food. Following modern fashions about diet is quite harmful. Best wishes.

Anxiety is not a steroid, but still a dangerous sleeping pill. On a longer run they will shrink your brain, resulting in early onset dementia, personality changes, memory changes, even withdrawal seizures. Kindly consult a psychiatrist, get your sleep evaluated, and he will gradually wane you off the sleeping pills and give pills which promote sleep by acting on the cause of sleep disturbance, he may also educate you on sleep hyigiene.
