Anxiety and insomnia were also common, but may be associated with the underlying disease state and not a consequence of alprazolam withdrawal. If discontinuation of therapy is indicated, the dose of alprazolam should be reduced slowly and cautiously. Some hematological changes have been observed in patients receiving alprazolam. Few changes were considered to be of physiological significance. Patients receiving alprazolam over prolonged periods should have periodic blood counts.
Benzodiazepines belong to a group of medicines that slow down the central nervous system.
Alprazolam relieves anxiety and nervousness and helps to treat panic attacks. Federal law prohibits the transfer of alprazolam to any person other than the patient for whom it was prescribed. Do not share this medicine with anyone else. Generic alprazolam tablets are available. Take alprazolam tablets by mouth.
