What Is Alprazolam and What Does It Treat?

Alprazolam is a benzodiazepine. It is approved for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and panic disorder with or without agoraphobia. However, benzodiazepines are also commonly used to treat difficulty sleeping and alcohol withdrawal.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) occurs when a person experiences excessive anxiety or worry for at least six months. Other symptoms include:

• Restlessness
• Fatigue (low energy, feeling tired all the time)
• Difficulty concentrating
• Irritability
• Muscle tension
• Sleep disturbance (difficulty falling asleep or waking up in the middle of the night)

Panic Disorder occurs when a person experiences unexpected and repeated episodes of intense fear. These episodes have physical symptoms including chest pain, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, sweating, dizziness, and nausea. Fear of future episodes is also part of panic disorder.

What Is The Most Important Information I Should Know About Alprazolam?

Do not drive a car or operate machinery until you know how this medication affects you because you may notice that you feel tired or dizzy.

When starting alprazolam, anxiety or insomnia may improve rapidly or over a period of days.

Benzodiazepines, such as alprazolam, are often used for short periods of time only. They may produce emotional and/or physical dependence (addiction) even when used as recommended. With input from you, your health care provider will assess how long you will need to take the medicine.

Do not stop taking alprazolam without talking to your healthcare provider first. Stopping alprazolam abruptly may result in one or more of the following withdrawal symptoms: irritability, nausea, tremor, dizziness, blood pressure changes, rapid heart rate, and seizures.

The use of alprazolam with drugs like opioid medications has led to serious side effects including slowed and difficulty breathing and death. Opioid drugs are medications used to treat pain and include medications such as: codeine, oxycodone, morphine, and illegal drugs like heroin. Some opioid medications are also in cough syrup.

If you are taking alprazolam with an opioid medication, get medical assistance immediately if you feel dizziness or sleepiness, if you have slow or troubled breathing, or if you pass out. Caregivers must get medical help right away if a patient does not respond and does not wake up.

Avoid alcohol while taking this medication.

Are There Specific Concerns About Alprazolam and Pregnancy?

If you are planning on becoming pregnant, notify your healthcare provider to best manage your medications. People living with anxiety disorders who wish to become pregnant face important decisions. It is important to discuss this with your doctor and caregivers.

Regarding breastfeeding, caution is advised since alprazolam does pass into breast milk.

What Should I Discuss With My Healthcare Provider Before Taking Alprazolam?

• Symptoms of your condition that bother you the most
• If you have thoughts of suicide or harming yourself
• Medications you have taken in the past for your condition, whether they were effective or caused any adverse effects
• If you experience side effects from your medications, discuss them with your healthcare provider. Some side effects may pass with time, but others may require changes in the medication.
• Any other psychiatric or medical problems you have including obstructive sleep apnea
• All other medications you are currently taking (including over the counter products and herbal and nutritional supplements) and any medication allergies you have
• Other non-medication treatment you are receiving such as talk therapy or substance abuse treatment. Your provider can explain how these different treatments work with the medication
• If you are elderly or are prone to falls
• If you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
• If you drink alcohol or use drugs

How Should I Take Alprazolam?

Alprazolam may be taken with or without food. Take with food if you experience an upset stomach.

Alprazolam may be taken every day at regular times or on an as needed (“PRN”) basis. Typically, your healthcare provider will limit the number of doses you should take in one day.

Your healthcare provider will determine the dose and method of taking the medication that is right for you based upon your response.

Alprazolam orally disintegrating tablets must remain in their original packaging. Open the package with clean dry hands before each dose. Do not try to put tablets in a pillbox if you take the orally disintegrating tablets. Take the tablets right away, do not store for later use.

Alprazolam orally disintegrating tablets will dissolve in your mouth within seconds and can be swallowed with or without liquid.

Extended release tablets: Swallow whole. Do not chew, crush or split tablet.

Alprazolam liquid: Measure with a dosing spoon or oral syringe, which you can get from your pharmacy.

If you take the medication every day (instead of ‘as needed’), use a calendar, pillbox, alarm clock, or cell phone alert to help you remember to take it. You may also ask a family member or a friend to remind you or check in with you to be sure you are taking your medication.

What Happens If I Miss a Dose of Alprazolam?

If you miss a dose of alprazolam, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is closer to the time of your next dose. Discuss this with your healthcare provider. Do not double your next dose or take more than what is prescribed.

What Should I Avoid While Taking Alprazolam?

Avoid drinking alcohol and using illegal drugs while you are taking alprazolam. They may decrease the benefits (e.g., worsen your condition) and increase the adverse effects (e.g., sedation) of the medication. Alcohol increases the risk of accidental overdose with medications like alprazolam.

What Happens If I Overdose With Alprazolam?

If an overdose occurs call your doctor or 911. You may need urgent medical care. You may also contact the poison control center at 1-800-222-1222.

Symptoms of overdose include confusion, impaired coordination, slow reflexes, coma, and death.

A specific treatment to reverse the effects of alprazolam does exist. This medicine, called flumazenil, can reverse the effects of alprazolam but must be given through an IV at a hospital. Only a doctor can decide if you need this medication.

What Are Possible Side Effects Of Alprazolam?

Common side effects

• Feeling dizzy, drowsy, fatigued, or lightheaded
• Impaired coordination, decreased ability to concentrate

If you experience these side effects after starting clonazepam they will often improve over the first week or two as you continue to take the medication

Rare/serious side effects

• Shortness of breath, trouble speaking, feeling very tired, dizziness, or passing out.
• Increased heart rate, headache, memory impairment, irritability, and restlessness may occur.
• Some people taking benzodiazepines develop a severe allergic reaction and swelling of the face. This can occur as early as with the first dose.
• Some people taking benzodiazepines for sleep have experienced various behaviors while they were asleep/not fully awake, such as sleep driving, making phone calls, and preparing or eating food. The individuals have no memory of the events when they awaken.
• Signs of feeling depressed or low mood, thoughts of harming or killing yourself, or lack of interest in life.

Are There Any Risks For Taking Alprazolam For Long Periods Of Time?

Alprazolam is a safe and effective medication when used as directed. Benzodiazepines may produce emotional and/or physical dependence (addiction) even when used as recommended. Physical dependence may develop after 2 or more weeks of daily use.

What Other Medications May Interact With Alprazolam?

The following medications may increase the levels and effects of alprazolam:

• Ketoconazole (Nizoral®), itraconazole (Sporanox®), nefazodone (Serzone®), fluvoxamine (Luvox®), and cimetidine (Tagamet®)

The following medications may decrease the levels and effects of alprazolam:

• Carbamazepine (Tegretol®), phenytoin (Dilantin®), and phenobarbital (Luminal®)

Alprazolam should not be taken with other benzodiazepine medications.

Alprazolam may cause drowsiness, so caution should be used when combining it with other medications that cause drowsiness. These could include:

• Antihistamines such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl®)
• Narcotic pain medication such as morphine, oxycodone (OxyContin®), and hydrocodone (Vicodin® and Lortab®)
• Opioid cough medications such as codeine cough syrup
• Sleeping medications such as zolpidem (Ambien®)
• Other anti-anxiety medications, antipsychotic medications, certain anticonvulsant medications, and tricyclic antidepressant medications (such as amitriptyline)

How Long Does It Take For Alprazolam To Work?

When starting alprazolam, anxiety or insomnia may improve rapidly or over a period of days or within hours of the first dose of medication.

Summary of FDA Black Box Warnings

The FDA has found that benzodiazepine drugs, such as alprazolam, when used in combination with opioid medications or other sedating medications can result in serious adverse reactions including slowed or difficult breathing and death. Patients taking opioids with benzodiazepines, other sedating medications, or alcohol, and caregivers of these patients, should seek immediate medical attention if that start to experience unusual dizziness or lightheadedness, extreme sleepiness, slow or difficulty breathing, or unresponsiveness.

Effects of Alprazolam on Driving Ability, Memory Functioning and Psychomotor Performance: A Randomized, Placebo-controlled Study

Effect of alprazolam (0.5 mg) on driving performance of anxiety patients and healthy controls

Alprazolam is a widely prescribed anxiolytic for the treatment of anxiety, panic disorder, and depression. Current literature suggests that alprazolam impairs driving performance. In the present study the major objective was to investigate the effect of alprazolam in treated and untreated anxiety patients compared to a healthy control group after oral alprazolam administration (0.5 mg) (acute phase) in a simulated environment. Primary variables were the vehicle variables (driving performance measures). The secondary objective was to compare multiple cognitive and subjective measures collected for each participant in order to establish the whole range of driving impairment. In this study, the alprazolam effect (0.5 mg) on driving performance was investigated in three experimental groups: a) treated anxiety patients, b) untreated anxiety patients, and c) control group. 51 participants completed two driving tasks; a lane tracking and a car following scenario with a semi-dynamic passenger car simulator. Impaired weaving control was observed in all groups after alprazolam administration. Increase in brake reaction time (sec) was found in treated and untreated anxiety patients when driving in the car following scenario. Healthy participants showed riskier close following behaviour after alprazolam administration compared to treated and untreated anxiety patients. A significant decrease in alertness -measured in computerised attention tests -was found only in healthy participants. Untreated patients and healthy participants reported decreased vigilance. This study clearly showed an alprazolam effect (0.5mg) in driving performance in treated, untreated anxiety patients and healthy participants.

Treatment of anxiety in general medical practice

Article No. 64. Anxiety disorders are often found in general medical practice in patients with somatic diseases: more than 20% of patients who come to medical consultations have clinically significant symptoms of anxiety.However, the word “anxiety” itself is rarely found in the complaints presented. More often you can hear complaints of anxiety about little things, insecurity, constant concern for your future, excessive fears, a feeling of constant expectation, easily arising anxiety, difficulty falling asleep or interrupted sleep, unpleasant dreams, irritability, inability to concentrate. These complaints are mental in nature and directly indicate the presence of anxiety. More difficult in the differential diagnosis are somatic complaints, such as fussiness, tension headaches, tremors, inability to relax, tachycardia, sweating, dry mucous membranes, difficulty breathing, nausea, dyspepsia, diarrhea, chills, persistent weakness, heart failure, feeling compression or compression in the chest, increased blood pressure (BP), abdominal cramping, back and lower back pain, myalgia, pallor or redness, “goose bumps”, itching, urticaria, sexual dysfunction, etc.[one]. Most of the somatic complaints are due to muscle tension and autonomic dysfunction, which is characteristic of anxiety.

The ability to recognize possible somatic symptoms of anxiety is important for physicians in somatic specialties in order to differentiate between anxiety disorders and somatic diseases, taking into account their frequent combination with each other.

The ICD-10 diagnostic criteria for generalized anxiety disorder (F41.1) are as follows.

1. Generalized persistent anxiety, not limited to any specific circumstances (or arising mainly under these circumstances).

2. Related:

– fears (fears) for health and your life, life and health of loved ones, other bad feelings;

– motor (muscle) tension – fussiness, tremor, inability to relax;

– vegetative and vegetative pain symptoms.

3. The presence of symptoms most days of the week for several weeks or months [2].

In clinical practice, it often happens that in the presence of psychological and somatic symptoms of increased anxiety, their number or duration is insufficient for a definite diagnosis; then they speak of subsyndromal anxiety. It is often caused by high levels of personal anxiety. According to neurophysiological studies in such persons, there is a tendency to a background increase in pulse rate, blood pressure, heart disorders, as well as large shifts in these indicators in mental activity and stress [3].The question of the need to prescribe pharmacotherapy for subsyndromic anxiety is decided individually, in contrast to clinically expressed anxiety disorders. Numerous studies have shown that anxiety disorders have a long-term undulating course, exacerbating after stress. After 5 years, spontaneous complete remission is observed in only 1/3 of patients. In this regard, the mandatory appointment of anti-anxiety pharmacotherapy becomes clear.

The search for the most effective drugs for the treatment of anxiety disorders is ongoing.It is known that neurochemical and neuroendocrine levels are involved in the development of anxiety: GABAergic, noradrenergic, serotonergic, histaminergic systems, as well as hormones or peptides like corticotropic releasing hormone associated with corticosteroid, neurosteroid hormones, hypothalamus hypothalamus axis and hypothalamus axis and hypothalamus axis. This explains such a wide range of pharmacological drugs used to relieve anxiety disorders.

At the beginning of the XX century.bromides have been used to treat anxiety and insomnia; in the 40s – ethyl alcohol and its structural analogs, for example, Paraldehyde and Chloral hydrate; in the 50s. – barbiturates and propanediol derivatives, including meprobamate. In the 1960s. appeared benzodiazepines, which are still the most frequently prescribed drugs [4]. In modern medicine, in addition to the latter, “small” antipsychotics, antidepressants and non-benzodiazepine anxiolytics are also used. Let’s dwell on each of these groups in more detail.

The effect of taking benzodiazepine drugs in case of anxiety is due to inhibition of the central nervous system through GABA receptors. In relatively low doses, they exhibit anxiolytic properties, and in higher doses, sedative-hypnotics. Based on the varying degrees of evidence of the studies carried out, as well as on their pharmacokinetic properties for each of the drugs, a predominant indication was derived. For example, Phenazepam, Flurazepam, Temazepam and Triazolam are used more often for the treatment of insomnia due to the pronounced hypnotic effect.

Diazepam (Sibazon, Relanium, Seduxen) is effective in the drug treatment of situational anxiety at a dosage of 5 mg 3 times a day. If necessary, the dose can be increased to 30 mg / day. In the case of generalized anxiety disorder, the daily dose may be increased from 15-30 mg to 40-50 mg. In some patients, stable improvement occurs after 2–6 weeks of therapy, but in most cases, discontinuation of therapy leads to a relapse of anxiety. In this regard, it is recommended to combine psychopharmacotherapy with cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy [4].

Alprazolam and Clonazepam have an obvious advantage of efficacy and pharmacokinetic parameters in the treatment of panic attacks. Alprazolam is usually prescribed at 2-6 mg / day, divided into 3-4 doses. Let’s consider the main problems associated with taking Alprazolam. He has a higher risk of developing addiction, which leads to more severe relapses and more severe withdrawal symptoms. Due to the short half-life in some patients, relapses of anxiety develop in the intervals between doses.Despite the frequent use of Alprazolam, patients may experience significant discomfort when the effect of the last dose wears off. They constantly monitor the time of taking the drug and often independently increase the dosage.

When using Clonazepam, due to the longer half-life, the above problems can be avoided. Its daily dose is 1-4 mg and is divided into 2 doses, although the therapeutic range varies from 0.5 to 6.0 mg / day. The disadvantage of Clonazepam therapy compared with Alprazolam is a higher risk of depression [4].

The widespread use of benzodiazepines in general medical practice in patients with complaints of anxiety and insomnia is due to a combination of efficacy and relative safety. However, over the past 20 years, addiction and abuse have increased. Indeed, with long-term use of even therapeutic doses of benzodiazepines (6 months or more), the risk of developing dependence or withdrawal syndrome is high. Most often, addiction is caused by drugs with a pronounced, but short-term effect, such as Alprazolam and Lorazepam.The use of benzodiazepines is also limited by their various side effects, such as muscle relaxation, daytime sleepiness, ataxia, memory impairment, decreased concentration, recoil syndrome and the already mentioned addiction, drug dependence and withdrawal syndrome [4].

Until now, there are no detailed generally accepted recommendations on the tactics of withdrawing long-term benzodiazepines by outpatients. For these purposes, the most commonly used SSRI (trittico) [5].At the State Scientific Center for St. Petersburg and JV them. V.P. Serbian, a study was conducted using the atypical antipsychotic Eglek (Sulpiride) as a “cover-up therapy” for the period of withdrawal and subsequent replacement therapy. Providing a pronounced anti-anxiety effect already at a dose of 200 mg / day, Eglek effectively influenced the prevailing anxiety disorders of both paroxysmal and generalized nature. No less important is the somatotropic and vegetative stabilizing effects of Eglek [6].

Due to its pronounced anxiolytic and sedative effect, another “small” neuroleptic, Thioridazine (Sonapax), is often prescribed in general medical practice.The experience of its application in clinical practice, especially in outpatient practice, has confirmed its firm position as a means necessary in the treatment of a wide range of anxiety-neurotic disorders. Undoubted indications for the appointment of Thioridazine are actually anxiety disorders, anxiety-phobic disorders with a different content of phobias, somatoform neurotic disorders, the so-called latent depression with senesto-hypochondriac and vegetative-vascular manifestations, acting under the guise of vegetative-vascular dystonia or various algic syndromes.The daily dose of the drug can vary from 10 to 300 mg. In general, Thioridazine is well tolerated, however, with the appointment of high doses and long-term administration, manifestations of arterial hypotension, especially orthostatic, are possible, although extremely rare, which are functional and reversible [7]. Neuroendocrine disorders can manifest as weight gain.

From the middle of the XX century. antidepressants are increasingly being used in the treatment of anxiety disorders. As shown by numerous studies, the use of classical (tricyclic) antidepressants (Amitriptyline, Imipramine, Clomipramine) gives a more pronounced and lasting clinical effect.Moreover, antidepressant therapy excludes the possibility of the development of frequent complications arising from the use of anxiolytics – changes in tolerance, the formation of drug dependence and withdrawal syndrome. However, there are many complications in it – side effects. If it is necessary to use high doses of tricyclic antidepressants for long courses (from six months or more), such undesirable phenomena as excessive sedative effect, weakening of concentration, a decrease in the speed of reaction complicate social and professional, especially intellectual activity, study, create restrictions in work that requires speed and accuracy of actions (including driving).It should also be noted that the use of tricyclic antidepressants is impossible with some concomitant somatic diseases (severe cardiovascular pathology, prostate diseases, open-angle glaucoma) [8, 9].

Antidepressants of the next generations, due to their selective effect, are safer when prescribed to patients with concomitant somatic diseases. Currently, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are most commonly used: Fluvoxamine, Fluoxetine, Trazodone, Citalopram, Escitalopram, Paroxetine, Sertraline, etc.Due to the fact that the therapeutic effect of antidepressants develops only on the 2-4th week of their use, in practice, if a somatic patient has a depressive disorder and severe anxiety symptoms, in about 80% of cases, doctors prescribe both an antidepressant and an anxiolytic at the same time. In about 75% of cases, it is benzodiazepine, which causes problems associated with its side effects and their pharmacokinetic interaction with each other. The result of a study carried out in France was the conclusion that the joint appointment of SSRIs and benzodiazepines is inappropriate, due to the fact that the latter reduce the antidepressant effect.Researchers suggest that, if necessary, the simultaneous administration of SSRIs and an anti-anxiety drug, prescribe a non-benzodiazepine anxiolytic. Representatives of this group are Atarax, Buspirone and Azophene.

Atarax (Hydroxyzine) is an antagonist of histamine H1 receptors. It is used in a dose of 25-100 mg / day, divided into 3 doses. Atarax advantages is the lack of dependence and withdrawal syndrome. Due to the pronounced M-anticholinergic action, it is recommended not to prescribe or prescribe with caution Atarax to patients with glaucoma, prostatic hypertrophy, difficulty urinating, and constipation.Also, the drug during 1 week lowers attention and responsiveness, which limits its use in outpatient practice.

Buspirone is a partial agonist of 5-HT1A receptors, whereby it reduces the serotonin turnover. In terms of the effectiveness of monotherapy for generalized anxiety disorders, it is comparable to benzodiazepines, but only with regular use. Significant advantages of Buspirone are the absence of sedation, dependence and withdrawal symptoms, as well as the presence of an antidepressant effect, which manifests itself when taking large doses of the drug.An obstacle to use is the lack of registration of the drug in Russia [4].

As a result of a long search for the most optimal drug in the Scientific Research Institute of Pharmacology of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, a new selective anxiolytic, Afobazol, was created. It prevents the development of membrane-dependent changes in the GABA receptor. Afobazol has both anxiolytic and mild stimulating (activating) effect, which compares favorably with its predecessors. Reduction or elimination of anxiety (anxiety, bad feelings, fears, irritability), tension (fearfulness, tearfulness, feelings of anxiety, inability to relax, insomnia, fear), and, consequently, somatic (muscle, sensory, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal) intestinal symptoms), vegetative (dry mouth, sweating, dizziness), cognitive (difficulty concentrating, impaired memory) disorders are observed on the 5-7th day of treatment.The drug is taken at 30 mg / day, divided into 3 doses. The duration of the course is 2-4 weeks. If necessary, the daily dose can be increased to 60 mg. Afobazol has passed clinical trials in many leading clinics in Moscow and St. Petersburg. A small number of contraindications contributes to the wider prescription of Afobazol by doctors of general medical practice. The advantages of the drug are also the absence of muscle relaxant properties, negative effects on cognitive processes, drug dependence and withdrawal syndrome.Due to the fact that anxious affect is often accompanied by severe vegetative disorders, attention should be paid to the vegetative effect of Afobazol [10].

Thus, Afobazol is an effective drug both for monotherapy and for combined treatment with antidepressants in patients with generalized anxiety disorders and adjustment disorders, which are so common in general medical practice.

instructions for use, analogs, composition, indications

Side effects, as a rule, occur at the beginning of treatment and gradually disappear with further use of the drug or dose reduction.
From the side of the central nervous system: at the beginning of treatment (especially in elderly patients) – drowsiness, fatigue, dizziness, impaired concentration, ataxia, disorientation, retardation of mental and motor reactions; rarely – headache, euphoria, decreased mood, tremor, memory loss, impaired coordination of movements, confusion, dystonic extrapyramidal reactions (uncontrolled movements, including the eyes), muscle weakness, blurred speech, extremely rarely – paradoxical reactions (aggressive outbreaks, confusion, psychomotor agitation, fear, suicidal tendencies, muscle spasm, hallucinations, anxiety, insomnia).
From the side of hematopoiesis: leukopenia, neutropenia, agranulocytosis (chills, hyperthermia, sore throat, unusual fatigue or weakness), anemia, thrombocytopenia.
From the digestive system: dry mouth or salivation, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, constipation, diarrhea; dysfunction of the liver, increased activity of “hepatic” transaminases and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), jaundice.
From the genitourinary system: urinary incontinence, urinary retention, impaired renal function, decreased or increased libido, dysmenorrhea.
Allergic reactions: skin rash, itching.
Influence on the fetus: teratogenicity (especially the first trimester), depression of the central nervous system, respiratory failure and suppression of the sucking reflex in newborns whose mothers used the drug.
Other: addiction, drug dependence; lowering blood pressure (BP), rarely – visual impairment (diplopia), weight loss, tachycardia. With a sharp decrease in the dose or discontinuation of the intake – withdrawal syndrome (increased irritability, sleep disturbance, dysphoria, spasm of smooth muscles of internal organs and skeletal muscles, depersonalization, increased sweating, decreased mood, nausea, vomiting, tremors, perception disorders, incl.h. hyperacusia, paresthesia, photophobia; tachycardia, convulsions, rarely acute psychosis).

Alprazolam tab 1mg No. 50 (Alprazolam)

Indications: Anxiety and neuroses with anxiety, tension, anxiety, irritability, poor sleep, somatic disorders. Anxiety associated with depression (as part of complex therapy). Panic disorder (treatment). Tremor (senile, essential). Insomnia
Contraindications: Coma, shock, myasthenia gravis, angle-closure glaucoma (acute attack or predisposition), acute alcohol poisoning (with weakening of vital functions), opioid analgesics, hypnotics and psychotropic drugs, chronic obstructive respiratory diseases with initial manifestations of respiratory failure, acute respiratory failure , severe depression (suicidal tendencies may occur), pregnancy (especially the first trimester), lactation, children and adolescence up to 18 years, hypersensitivity to benzodiazepines.

Active substance: Alprazolam.
Release form: 1. Tablets 0.25 mg No. 50; 2. Tablets 1 mg No. 50.

Inside, 2-3 times a day, regardless of food intake. Doses are selected depending on the severity of the syndrome, the individual sensitivity of the patient and his reaction to the drug. They start with the minimum doses (0.25-0.5 mg / day), followed by an increase first in the evening, and then in the daytime. Elderly and debilitated patients – 0.25 mg 2-3 times a day. Further dose increase (up to 0.5-0.75 mg / day) is carried out with caution if the drug is well tolerated. In case of anxiety, anxiety, the initial daily dose is 0.75-1.5 mg and can be increased to 3-4.5 mg / day. With panic disorder – 0.5 mg 3 times a day, the daily dose can reach 3-6 mg, the highest daily dose is 10 mg. The duration of the appointment of alprazolam is from several days (in an acute state of fear) to 3 months. Due to the possibility of drug dependence, longer continuous administration of the drug is not recommended.If it is necessary to discontinue therapy, the dose is gradually reduced by 0.5 mg every 3 days (abrupt cessation of therapy may exacerbate anxiety and fear).

Interactions: There is a mutual enhancement of the effect with the simultaneous administration of antipsychotic (neuroleptic), antiepileptic or hypnotic drugs, as well as central muscle relaxants, narcotic analgesics, ethanol and drugs for general anesthesia. Inhibitors of microsomal oxidation of liver enzymes increase, and inducers reduce the concentration of alprozalam in plasma (a change in the effectiveness of alprazolam is possible).Alprazolam may increase the severity of blood pressure lowering in the presence of antihypertensive drugs. When administered simultaneously with clozapine, increased respiratory depression may be increased. Reduces the effectiveness of levodopa in patients with parkinsonism. May increase the toxicity of zidovudine.

Side effects: From the nervous system: at the beginning of treatment (especially in elderly patients) – drowsiness, fatigue, dizziness, decreased ability to concentrate, ataxia, disorientation, retardation of mental and motor reactions; rarely – headache, euphoria, depression, tremor, memory loss, impaired coordination of movements, depression of mood, confusion, dystonic extrapyramidal reactions (uncontrolled movements, incl.h. eyes), weakness, myasthenia gravis, dysarthria; extremely rarely – paradoxical reactions (aggressive outbursts, confusion, psychomotor agitation, fear, suicidal tendencies, muscle spasm, hallucinations, agitation, irritability, anxiety, insomnia). From the side of hematopoietic organs: leukopenia, neutropenia, agranulocytosis (chills, hyperthermia, sore throat, excessive fatigue or weakness), anemia, thrombocytopenia. From the digestive system: dry mouth or drooling, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, constipation or diarrhea; liver dysfunction, jaundice.From the genitourinary system: urinary incontinence, urinary retention, impaired renal function, decreased or increased libido, dysmenorrhea. Allergic reactions: skin rash, itching. Influence on the fetus: teratogenicity (especially the first trimester), depression of the central nervous system, respiratory failure and suppression of the sucking reflex in newborns whose mothers used the drug. Others: addiction, drug dependence; decrease in blood pressure; rarely – visual impairment (diplopia), weight loss, tachycardia. With a sharp decrease in dose or discontinuation of admission – withdrawal syndrome (irritability, nervousness, sleep disturbances, dysphoria, spasm of smooth muscles of internal organs and skeletal muscles, depersonalization, increased sweating, depression, nausea, vomiting, tremors, perception disorders, incl.h. hyperacusis, paresthesia, photophobia; tachycardia, convulsions, rarely acute psychosis).
Special instructions: For endogenous depression, alprazolam can be used in combination with antidepressants. With the use of alprazolam in patients with depression, cases of the development of hypomanic and manic states have been noted.
Alprazolam should be used with caution in patients with impaired liver and / or kidney function.
In patients who have not previously taken drugs that affect the central nervous system, alprazolam is effective in lower doses, compared with patients who received antidepressants, anxiolytics, or suffering from chronic alcoholism.With prolonged use in high doses, addiction and drug dependence may develop, especially in patients prone to drug abuse.
With a rapid dose reduction or abrupt withdrawal of alprazolam, a withdrawal syndrome is observed, the symptoms of which can range from mild dysphoria and insomnia to a severe syndrome with abdominal and skeletal muscle cramps, vomiting, increased sweating, tremors and seizures. Withdrawal syndrome is more common in individuals for a long time (more than 8-12 weeks.) who received alprazolam.
Do not use other tranquilizers simultaneously with alprazolam.
The safety of using alprazolam in children and adolescents under the age of 18 has not been established. Children, especially at a younger age, are very sensitive to the inhibitory effect of benzodiazepines on the central nervous system.
Avoid drinking alcohol during treatment.
During the period of treatment, one should refrain from engaging in potentially hazardous activities that require increased attention and speed of psychomotor reactions (driving vehicles or working with mechanisms).
