Both are anti anxiety drugs .these group of medicines will have tolerance and with drawl reaction. Better you consult a psychiatrist or psychologist for your anxiety ,rather than self medicating.
I am not sure who got you hooked onto sleeping pills. On a longer run they will shrink your brain, resulting in early onset dementia, personality changes, memory changes, even withdrawal anxiety, sweating, agitation and even seizures. Kindly consult a psychiatrist, get your sleep evaluated, and he will gradually wane you off the sleeping pills and give pills which promote sleep by acting on the cause of sleep disturbance, he may also educate you on sleep hygiene.
Hello Anand.
It is better to consult and talk with a professional.
Taking tablets will not solve.
It causes unbearable suffering.
You can consult me at lybrate.

I would not advice plain alprazolam (restyl), since it is habit forming if taken for a prolonged period. Please consult with a psychiatrist if you have any sleeping issues and those can be easily treated with other medicines which are given for a short course. There are also other medicines which can be used on sos basis for sleeping, if, yes, you can take it with a glass of milk.
Nothing will happen, since it has been one month, take your friend for assessment to a psychiatrist for this behavior. That would prevent future episodes. All the best.
Dear Lybrate user, restyl usually helps in sleeping or for a time being like 4 to 6 week it's effect wean off. Second is that it is an anti-anxiety drug and no effect on depression. My answer is a big no.
hi, if for anxiety you want to take restyl then I would suggest try life style modification like yoga, meditation or regular exercise. drink plenty of water, and if possible try homoeopathy, homeopathy will help you get rid of your migraine problem permanently.
