Dear Lybrate-user, You need to undergo met - motivational enhancement therapy. 12 weeks 20-30 minutes therapy to get out of alprazolam dependance gradually. Please don't stop suddenly - gradually reduce and stop. Have a weekly plan to cope up with withdrawal symptoms.

I am not sure who got you hooked onto sleeping pills, that too so heavy dose of alprazolam. On a longer run, they will shrink your brain, resulting in early onset dementia, personality changes, memory changes, even withdrawal 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.
