Alprax 0.25 MG Tablet For Anxiety

I am a 70 years old male. Other than hypertension, I have no other health problem. My recent blood report and ecg, ecko are also all right. I am taking bp medicines regularly. Recently, due to some anxiety related and sleeplessness issues, my doctor has given me alprax 0.25, one at night and I am taking this medicine for the last one month. For the last 10 days I am experiencing drowsiness/sleepiness in the day time and sometimes uneasiness in the back side of the head. My question is, is it due to side/withdrawal effect of this particular drug and is so, how can I get rid of this problem? Shall be grateful for your help and suggestion.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. The most common causes of excessive sleepiness are sleep deprivation and disorders like sleep apnea and insomnia. Depression and other psychiatric problems, certain medications, and medical conditions affecting the brain and body can cause daytime drowsiness as well. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Numbness in left leg has got nothing to do with teeth extraction. But definitely if you are having numbness for a quite long time, it's worrisome. Are you a diabetic or hypothyroid? Because these conditions can cause neuropathy. If the numbness persists you also need to get a nerve conduction velocity study done. Otherwise take tab alprax 0.5 at night for 10 days and stop. This will reduce your anxiety.

Dear lybrate-user, please consult a psychiatrist at the earliest. You seem to be having ideas of self reference. It can occur in many disorders. It needs proper diagnosis. Alprax is not a solution for this - nor it is for sleep. Stop it, if not available.

Sir, i'm 72 years old man suffering sever cervical spondylitis pain for the past several years. One orthopedic doctor prescribed me ultra cet tab for 5 days. But pain still persists. Nice tab gives some relief. Which tab is safe whether ultra cet or nice? I also take 0.25 mg of alprax for anxiety. The ultracet contains tramadol and it makes one drowsy. Should I stop alprax when I am on ultracet?

Stop alprrax and you can take pain medication which suits you considering other medical issues. But along with medicine you must start physiotherapy for neck to get complete relief.

Apart from series of sleeping and anxiety medication you should undergo a good clinical examination by a physician. Supporting mind relaxing techniques, yoga, meditation, regular exercise, healthy life style are important. Sleeping pills every night may not be safe and correct remedy.

Hi lybrate-user! alprax ek psychiatric medication hai. Iski definitely 50 goliya sate me nahi khani hai. Aur 50 ek saath sale bhi nahi hoti. Mujhe nahi pata kisiki body raise react karegi, but jaan jane se zyaada, apace brain ko effect kar sakti hai. Mujhe nahi pata ape ye sawal kya pucha, par agar aap ya toh koi jise aap pehchante ho, kisi mushkil samay se guzar rahe hai.

I had chest pain and doctor advised testing ecg, echo cardiograph, troponin test, stress test, blood test haemogram, sugar, liver etc all test are negative no issues, but chest pain is still there, I am able to do work normally no issue in breathing, able to walk 8 km per day. Doctor gave me temla40+metoprolol 25 once a day and night ecosprin av 75 mg, but some times I get good sleep some times not, heat beat is fast at night and I get up.in morning I have lot of pain on my cheat area, but I am normal I go for walk 5 km no issues in doing so. Can you suggest is this due to any blockage issues or like pulmonary embolism or is this just anxiety/stress kindly advice, I had a good lifestyle and used to play daily tennis 2 hours and yoga pranayam, playing badminton before this issue, now I am walking around 7 km daily. I have gone to all doctors but no improvement, bp is normal like under 140/90 even I do not take temla 40/metoprolol 25 bp does no increase. I want some one to give me correct diagnosis what exactly is issue. Doctor also advice me in anxiety is more take alprazolam or alprax 5 mg. When I take alprazolam or alprax I feel normal.

Dear user problems are a part of our life but we have to know how to deal with them, if we manage them properly we will grow and enjoy our life but if we are not able to face them and surrender to them then problems will grow. You are only 25 years old taking such medicines, for sometime it is okay and then you have to learn to deal your problems on your own, medicines are a temporary solution to your problem. Do some breathing exercises, walk, meet your friends, change your life style, I ll help you to change yourself in a better way but first of all I need complete case history so that I ll guide you better. For help and proper guidance you can call me and discuss all your worries and doubts. May be your counselling is not up to mark, connect with me for some sessions and you ll see with some counseling sessions you will feel confident, more focused and satisfied, your medicines are gradually reduced and then removed. Call me: mobile.
