my doctor wanted too to take 2 alprazolams at night to sleep and 1 in the 2 times a day as needed. I take 1/2 to 1 at night. Mayo clinic said the alprazolam is addicted.

please help if you use alprazolam.

How many mg is each pill. How long have you been taking it. In general it’s better to take as needed. Yes it is addictive.

I take 0.5 everyday & have done for 2 years. No dependency or tolerance has occurred for me. Addiction comes in many things, coffee, gambling, gym, alcohol, etc. Also SSRI’s are massively addictive but we are told they are not! I’ve had first hand experience of trying to come off Paxil & it’s horrendous!

To be honest I’d take addiction over quality of life, after all we are here for a good time, not a long time. Hope this reassures you. Feel free to inbox me.

Please contact your doctor and discuss your concern about addiction.
