Ancolam 0.5 MG Tablet SR Health Feed

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.

These are very low doses with fewer chances to cause side effect but still you are having some need to shift to other group of antianxiety /antidepressants. Regular use of alprazolam/ clonezapam is habit forming kindly avoid.

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. All the best.

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.

Hi lybrate-user, alprazolam is a very addictive drug. It can cause agitation, tension,anxiety and sleeplessness on suddenly stopping it. It is a dependence producing drug. I suggest you take your friend to a neaby neuropsychiatrist. He will definitely help your friend .Wish him a speedy recovery, best of luck.
