The choice of anti anxiety drug to be used depend son severity of the anxiety, it's type, duration and relation with any stressors or biological problems like heart diseases, headaches, hormone imbalances etc. I would advise you not to make any wild guesses about treatment options and consider visiting a psychiatrist personally.
Amixide h is used for anxiety but may not always be useful.

I am not sure who got him hooked onto Aplrazolam. On a longer run they will shrink your brain, resulting in early onset dementia, personality changes, memory changes, even withdrawal seizures. Kindly consult a psychiatrist, get your symptoms evaluated, and he will gradually wane you off the pills and give pills which promote better psychological well being by acting on the cause.
