Ancolam 0.5 MG Tablet SR Health Feed

Hi lybrate-user, thank you for your query. White coat hypertension per se might not be the actual reason for your elevated bp. Kindly consider other factors like: stress from work or home, eating food that’s high in sodium or consuming a lot of caffeine etc. The list goes on.
Regarding alprax, that is a treatment modality considered for anxiety or panic attacks.
If possible kindly rest for 15-30 mins before bp check up. Keep your mind open. Hypertension if present is treatable.

You can slowly tapper of the Medicine. U can also consult a Psychiatrist for the help you need to stop alprazolam.
There r 2 possible scenarios:
1. Slowly reduce dose of alprax
2. Alprazolam is a short acting benzodiazepine, it can be replacez with long acting benzodiazepine and then slowly reduce the dose.
U can consult me for further queries.

Headache after 10 days cannot be related to alprazolam (alprax). The headache is a common symptom and it is not related to alprazolam taken 10 days back. The maximum dose of alprazolam is upto 4 mg / day however in elderly it is 1-2 mg/day.

you need to learn to manage your stress and anxiety so that your acidity is managed. I suggest psychotherapy for you

1) It will not cause much harm, may make you a little sleepy. 2) please do not self -medicate yourself 3) Please consult a psychiatrist for your stress issues and please remember, no problem in life is big enough to need medication overdose.

Anxit is alprazolam a benzodiazepine which should not be taken for more than 2 weeks. It leads to severe long term harm like early dementia, cognitive impairment, personality changes, agitation, even withdrawal seizures and brain shrinking. It has been named in a misleading way for gullible people. I am not sure how you got hooked on to it. Kindly consult a psychiatrist and take proper medicine for your stress. All the best.

You may be already habituated to alprazolam. Get rid of taking it even half. Take pari cr at night and other herbal ramedy as you wish.

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.

Generally it is for short term use . Even though meet a doctor to take help in reducing the dose.never stop abruptly . Take care of your health properly with lots of vitamin enrich fruits and less simple food with green veges etc. Do pranayam and some more physical workout to reduce the symptoms.

Dont sleep at day time, dont take tea/cofee after last light, stop drinking water 2 hrs before sleep, have a comfortable bed and clothing and then you discontinue this medication gradually. take 1/2 tablets for 10 days and then stop. You will be surprised that you can get rid of it easily.
