Treatment for anxiety disorders and panic attacks

Why is Alprazolam prescribed?

Alprazolam is one of the benzodiazepines used to treat anxiety disorders, panic attacks and anxiety conditions which are associated with depression. Alprazolam is also sometimes used to treat depression itself, agoraphobia and premenstrual syndrome. As with all the medications in this class, there are benefits and disadvantages to using Alprazolam. It is very important that you make the right decision for you. This means a detailed discussion with your regular physician who can assess your present condition and give you precise guidance on whether to take the risk. If you confirm the decision to take this medication, it works by calming the activity in the brain.

Precautions when about to take Alprazolam

One of the side effects of Alprazolam is drowsiness so, until you know how your body is going to react, you should not drive a car or do anything potentially dangerous that requires your full concentration. This drowsiness is significantly greater if you also drink alcohol (even in small quantities). Because of the additive effect, you should also avoid mixing Alprazolam with any antihistamines, sedatives, tranquillisers and sleeping pills. Your physician will adjust the dosages of these medications to safe levels.

Warn your physician in any of the following situations:

  • a few people are allergic to the benzodiazepines — if you have already had an adverse reaction to medications such as Halcion, Klonopin, Librium and Valium, do not start taking Alprazolam;
  • if you are already taking antidepressants, e.g. Tofranil, Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), e.g. Paxil, or medications for mental illness and seizures, e.g. Procardia;
  • if you have breathing problems including asthma, bronchitis and emphysema, glaucoma, kidney or liver disease (especially alcoholic liver disease), any history of depression or suicidal thoughts or behaviour, or a history of drug or alcohol addiction.

Alprazolam can cause defects in a foetus while in the womb so you should stop taking this medication if you become pregnant and consult your regular physician if you are planning to become pregnant.

If you are about to undergo any surgical or dental procedure requiring the use of an anaesthetic, you should warn the physician or dentist that you are taking Alprazolam.

How to use Alprazolam

When you order Alprazolam online, it is available both in tablet form and as a concentrated liquid that you mix into a drink or moist food which you must consume immediately. You should always follow the directions given by your physician or pharmacist on dosage. The most usual approach is to start on a low dose and slowly increase every four days. But, because Alprazolam can be habit forming, you should be very careful not to exceed the doses directed and, more importantly, you must never take Alprazolam for longer than directed. If you ignore the instructions given, there is a very real risk that you may become dependent on this medication. The withdrawal symptoms can be distressing and difficult to manage given that you are treating an anxiety disorder. Thus, before you plan to stop, you should discuss the strategy with your physician so that you slowly reduce the dosage over time to get your body used to lower concentrations of Alprazolam in your blood. In this way, you can be weaned off the medication.
