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.

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.

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.

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.
