Alprax is alprazolam a benzodiazepine which is highly addictive and harmful in longer run, causing cognitive deficits, personality changes, withdrawal seizures, dementia, etc. There is a method to add alternates, with neuronal stabilisers with reviews every two weeks. Kindly consult any psychiatrist, they will be able to do the needful. Good luck.

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.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Although recurrence is common, it doesn't mean this is permanent. There may be no technical “cure” for depression, but with assistance and treatment, depression — even recurrent depression — is treatable.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

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.
