In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you are experiencing any side effects or an addiction to Alprazolam, you should contact your doctor immediately. Your doctor may be able to make adjustments to your treatment plan or otherwise help you deal with side effects. Remember that Alprazolam (or any drug in the benzodiazepine category) is intended for very short-term use and should never be stopped abruptly. Alprazolam can be habit-forming, and you can quickly develop a tolerance for the drug, meaning you need higher doses to feel any effect. A small percentage of people are recommended to take Alprazolam as part of a regular treatment regimen. If this is the case, you and your doctor should carefully monitor for increased tolerance, interactions with other medications, and any side effects. You should start a health journal, such as a paper journal or a file on your personal computer or device. Keeping a health journal can help you track the medications you are taking to manage your anxiety or panic disorder. It can also help you monitor any immediate side effects from Alprazolam, as well as communicate these side effects to your doctor. Side effects include impaired memory, drowsiness, forgetfulness, difficulty concentrating, difficulty speaking, slurred speech, loss of interest or pleasure, depression, weakness, trouble performing routine tasks, difficulty with coordination and muscle control, lack of appetite, and more. Although you may experience a loss of appetite, dry mouth, nausea or an upset stomach during the course of your treatment, you should remember to eat. Eat regular small meals. Avoid larger meals that could worsen these side effects. You should try to eat four to five small meals a day. You should eat a balanced diet that includes a good mix of fruits and vegetables, healthy grains, fiber, and protein. Try to eat at least five fruits and vegetables a day. Avoid eating too much saturated fat and sugar. Make sure you are getting enough protein, such as beans, pulses, fish, meat and eggs. Try eating more beans, nuts, whole grains and vegetables. You should look for foods that have a lot of antioxidants such as fresh fruits and vegetables. You should also remember to eat a solid breakfast and incorporate healthy snacks into your routine. Try integrating more of the following superfoods into your diet to increase your energy: Almonds Avocado Quinoa Flax seeds Dates Seaweed Berries Edamame If you are experiencing a loss of libido since going on Alprazolam, you should make sure you are getting plenty of exercise, staying hydrated and eating a balanced diet. In particular, make sure you are getting enough vitamin C, iron, collagen-rich foods, and using spices like nutmeg in your cooking. Consider integrating more of the following foods into your diet: Sweet potatoes Dark chocolate Watermelon Nutmeg and clove Brazil nuts Almonds If diet and exercise don't work, you should ask your doctor about treatment options. Your slurred speech could be caused by an overactive mind and your anxiety or by the muscle relaxant effects of Alprazolam. Start by telling your doctor, so they can take this side effect into consideration in your treatment plan. When you get the slurred speech, avoid forcing the words out. Forcing yourself to speak will add stress. Relax and speak when you are ready. Although Alprazolam is sometimes used to treat insomnia, it can sometimes cause rebound insomnia. If you take Alprazolam at night or are getting off the drug, you may experience rebound insomnia. To manage your rebound insomnia, you should set a regular bedtime and avoid all screens before going to sleep. Ensure you have a good sleeping environment, including a comfortable mattress and temperature in your bedroom. In addition, you could try the following tips: Read by candlelight before going to sleep. Write in your journal before going to sleep. Turn off all of the lights in your room. Use aromatherapy such as lavender scents. If you have any of the rare side effects, you should seek immediate medical attention. For instance, seek medical attention if you have rare side effects such as chest pain or suicidal thoughts. Remember to document rare side effects in your health journal. Rare side effects include, but are not limited to, the following: Chest pain Ear pain Decreased awareness Loss of hearing Slowing down of mental activity Inability to control your legs Complete loss of energy Talking in your sleep Changes in your voice Suicidal thoughts
Summary: Talk to your doctor. Start a health journal to monitor your response to Alprazolam. Remember to eat. Eat a nutrient-dense diet to cope with energy loss. Bring your libido back to life with a well-balanced diet. Deal with your slurred speech. Cope with rebound insomnia. Seek medical attention if you have rare side effects.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: There are lots of ways to plump your lips, and most of them will start right in your spice cabinet! Some, however, may require a trip to the store (such as essential oil). Choose a lip plumper that works best for you, based on what you already own or what you are willing to buy. You do not have to use all of the lip plumpers in this section. In a small dish, mix enough cayenne pepper and water to make a paste (about teaspoon of cayenne pepper and a drop or two or water). Apply the paste to your lips with your finger. Leave it on there for 10 minutes, then wash it off. Cayenne pepper plumps your lips by irritating them. As such, you do not want to use this too often or when your lips are already irritated or dry. Alternatively, you can scoop some lip gloss or lip balm onto your finger, and sprinkle cayenne pepper on top. Use this instead of the paste. Mix 1 to 2 drops of cinnamon essential oil with about 1 teaspoon of lip balm or petroleum jelly. Apply it to your lips, wait 3 to 5 minutes, then wipe it off. Because of how intense cinnamon essential oil is, do not use this more than twice a week. If you'd prefer something more natural, try coconut oil, cocoa butter, or shea butter instead of petroleum jelly. If you have very sensitive skin, you might want to stick with just 1 drop of cinnamon essential oil, or try a different method. Store any leftover lip balm in a small jar or empty lip balm container. Keep it in the fridge. Mix 2 drops of peppermint oil with 1 teaspoon of lip balm or petroleum jelly. Apply it to your lips whenever you want a little plumping action. Unlike the cinnamon version, you do not have to wipe it off, because it is less irritating. If you'd like something more natural, try coconut oil, cocoa butter, or shea butter instead of petroleum jelly. Store any leftover lip balm in a small jar or empty lip balm container. Keep it in the fridge. Mix a pea-sized amount of lip balm or petroleum jelly with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon. Apply it to your lips, then wipe it off after 3 to 5 minutes. For something more natural, try coconut oil, cocoa butter, or shea butter.
Summary:
Find a simple solution that works for you. Try cayenne pepper, but don't use it more than 2 to 3 times a week. Try cinnamon essential oil. Try peppermint essential oil if you have sensitive skin or don't like cinnamon. Use ground cinnamon if you can't get any essential oil.
