I am 16. I ate alprax because of stress and that too 3 in 3 hours. Just wanted to know that Is it dangerous? Can I have a heart attack or something by eating 3 pills in 3 hours?

Question

It is absolutely unadvisable to take alprazolam tablets without the prescription of a Registered Medical Practitioner. Even medical shops do not provide this drug without the prescription of a registered doctor. Alprazolam tablet strength is important. Under any circumstances 3 tablets over 3 hours is not acceptable or advisable. It can cause Central nervous system depression and cardio respiratory complications. Since you are only 16 please inform your family members immediately and visit any doctor for examination. You will need further psychological counselling as well.
