A medicine cannot be avoided by starting another medicine and you have to gradually taper the dose spread alternate days and move on to one in two days and finally stop it.

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.

Madam,
another option to manage your difficulty/anxiety through strategies such as cognitive behaviour therapy, meditation etc.

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.

Hello. There are many indications for the use of anxit which is a benzodiazepine. And these drugs are available only with the prescriptions as these are misused by many people as drug of abuse.
So a psychiatrist would want to know the details of your intake and reason for it so that you get the required prescription.
