Alprazolam is a dangerous tablet on longer run and can cause severe cognitive, personality canes and even seizures. Occasional anxiety is a normal part of life. You might feel anxious when faced with a problem at work, before taking a test, or making an important decision. But anxiety disorders involve more than temporary worry or fear. For a person with an anxiety disorder, the anxiety does not go away and can get worse over time. Restlessness or feeling wound-up or on edge

No. Alprax is a temporary solution for anxiety, it should not be taken for a long time. Ssri, snri or tca group of medication can be given after consulting a psychiatrist. Good luck.

Your psychiatrist is doing a very good job, in getting you away from alprazolam to something milder and then to something non-harmful. Kindly follow his/her advise. For your rheumatoid arthritis follow as per your rheumatologist advise. You can taper and stop clonotril, no issues. Ask your psychiatrist.

Hi please consult a therapist and doctor, who can find out if you have other issues or symptoms also for insomnia. Before sleep meditate for 5-10 min, take a walk and use your bed only to sleep not for watching tv, mobile etc. Try to calm yourself, try to have thought free mind. All these you will have practice slowly and it will work.
If need further help can connect me on private chat.
Thanks.
