Yes, you need to consult a psychiatrist who will move you away from alprazolam (anxit) to something less dependence producing and at the same time give some neuronal stabilisers to treat the withdrawal and then make your sleep natural and healthy. All the best.

It's important to discuss any concerns about medication, especially when it involves managing a condition like ocd (obsessive-compulsive disorder). Here's some general information about the medicines you mentioned:

That is not the right combination for long term treatment. Anxit i.e. Alprazolam can produce severe unwanted side effects. Consult a psychiatrist, and he/she may give ssri, snri or tca group of medications which act on the cause for anxiety, also behavioral methods need to be incorporated.

Hello lybrate-user,
I understand your situation and it would not be a good idea to increase the dose of the medication since this medication has a very high addiction potential. Read more on url/medicine/anxit-0-5-mg-tablet

I would not advice plain alprazolam (restyl), since it is habit forming if taken for a prolonged period. Please consult with a psychiatrist if you have any sleeping issues and those can be easily treated with other medicines which are given for a short course. There are also other medicines which can be used on sos basis for sleeping, if, yes, you can take it with a glass of milk.

Everyday you do some exercises (like simple physical exercises, faith on god, prayers in the morning, engage in certain activities you like most, interact with your friends and relations.
