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.

Sorry madam no,
but I fear that you might suffer from benzodiazepine dependence which might severely impact your memory in year to come. Please consult a psychiatrist (in person and not teleconsultation) to get detoxification and further treatment.

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.

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.
