[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor. I have read your query carefully and understood that you have been taking Alpha (Alprazolam, a benzodiazepine) 0.5 mg at night and the night you don't take it you have disturbed sleep, raised pulse and partial seizures. You are having BENZODIAZEPINE DEPENDENCE and what you are experiencing are the with Chat Doctor. I would advise you to visit a psychiatrist who can start a long acting benzodiazepine (like clonazepam) which will be tapered slowly over weeks to months as per your condition. And you will have to refrain from using Alpha as it is a short-acting benzodiazepine with higher potential for habit-forming. Hope I have answered your query, let me know if you need any further information. Regards
