Dear, alprax contains alprazolam. It is a short acting medicine that makes one drowsy/sleepy. But when used for a longer time and then suddenly stopped it can lead to rebound sleeplessness. It does have side effects and I would not recommend that you take it continuously.
You may gradually try to decrease the dose to half then take it alternate day and then stop it over 2 weeks. Don't stop immediately. There are other safer drugs for insomnia that you can use instead.

If you are uncomfortable with a doctor for any reason, you can seek a second opinion. These symptoms must be reported to the doctor to see if it is because of the medication or because of any other medical reason you may have. The doctor will review the medication and dosage to make the necessary changes to affect a different response. I am also suspicious that you are not going for counseling too. If that is the case, you are depriving yourself of a very important parallel support to recovery. ...more

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.
