Ancolam 0.5 MG Tablet SR Health Feed

Hi lybrate-user, just stop it, if you have taken it by mistake once or twice. If you continue to take it regularly, it is addictive and will have an impact on cognitive abilities in the longer run.

I am not sure who got you hooked onto sleeping pills. 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 sleep evaluated, and he will gradually wane you off the sleeping pills and give pills which promote sleep by acting on the cause of sleep disturbance, he may also educate you on sleep hyigiene.

Yes, you need to consult a psychiatrist who will move you away from alprazolam (anxit) to something less dependence producing and at the same time give some neuronal stabilisers to treat the withdrawal and then make your sleep natural and healthy. All the best.

Make it 1 tab on every alternative day for 2 weeks and 1 on every 4 that day for next 2 weeks and stop after that.

Better take these medications only if prescribed.
Side effects are more than benefits if taken wrong.

That is not the right combination for long term treatment. Anxit i.e. Alprazolam can produce severe unwanted side effects. Consult a psychiatrist, and he/she may give ssri, snri or tca group of medications which act on the cause for anxiety, also behavioral methods need to be incorporated.
