How should Alprazolam be used?

Patients should carefully read the medication instructions provided by the pharmacist before taking alprazolam and each time using it. Dosage is based on the patient's medical condition, age, and response to treatment. The dose may be gradually increased until the medication begins to work. Take your medication strictly according to your doctor's instructions to reduce the risk of side effects.

If you suddenly stop using this medicine, you may have withdrawal symptoms (such as seizures). To help prevent this withdrawal, the doctor may have the patient reduce the dose slowly. Withdrawal symptoms are more likely to occur if you have been using alprazolam for a long time or in high doses. Alprazolam has a higher risk of addiction if you have a stimulant use disorder (such as abuse, alcoholism, or drug addiction). Therefore, take this medication exactly as prescribed to reduce the risk of addiction.
