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.

Trika which is alprazolam is highly addictive benzodiazepine and not advised for long term control or treatment of the cause of anxiety. Your bp might be due to anxiety and stress. Also, anxiety is very very common in those with hypothyroidism. So consult a psychiatrist in person or online and get your anxiety and stress, properly treated. Good luck.

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.
