Dear Shweta, At your age it is better that you don't use alprazolam to get out of anxiety unless it is only in certain situation and will not repeat. Please learn relaxation exercise, yoga, pranayama or meditation to reduce your anxiety level. Alprazolam is a short acting tablet needs to be used 3-4 times a day.

Alprazolam is given for immediate relief. But it's only prescribed for short term ie 2-3 weeks max. As it has habit forming potential if taken for long. Since you are very young, I would suggest you to take it only on sos basis ie only if required whenever you feel anxious. If you are feeling ok then don't take medications on that day. This way you shall take it once a while and not everyday. Hence reducing the risk of addiction to the medication.

Take prn basis - meaning 'as and when required' however, if you need it for long time (say, more than couple of weeks) then you should get long term treatment for anxiety - medications, or psychotherapy.

Dear user, you know you have anxiety but di you know what is the reason behind your anxiety. Medicine will give you temporary relief, when you will stop taking medicines the problem will appear again. Bcoz you are not working on the root cause of your problem. You are too young to take these medicines so it's my humble request not to make it a habit for future. You can reduce your medicines and then stop slowly but first of all I need a complete case history of yours and want to guide you about your thoughts and worries so that without medicines you can enjoy your life in a better way, but without knowing everything I won't be able to help you. If you want to get rid of over thinking and negative thoughts medicines are not enough counseling will help you in a better way. If you quit medicines with counseling there are bright chances to get rid of medicines permanently. Change your routine and life style, add some more activities and exercise to your routine, spend time in your favorite activities, meet your friends and one most imp thing strong your will power and enhance your insight. I will help and support you so please call me and discuss all the details. My clinic no is mobile.
