What Experts Say

Alprazolam belongs to the benzodiazepine class of medicines. It works by enhancing the effect of gamma aminobutyric acid, the brain's main calming neurotransmitter, which slows down excessive nerve activity linked to anxiety and panic attacks.

Doctors generally prescribe it for short courses because the body adapts to benzodiazepines quickly. Tolerance can develop within a few weeks, meaning the same dose gradually feels less effective, and stopping suddenly after regular use can trigger rebound anxiety, insomnia or withdrawal symptoms that feel worse than the original complaint.

Because of this dependence risk, alprazolam is classified as a controlled substance in Pakistan and cannot be refilled without a fresh prescription. Doctors typically combine it with talk therapy or longer term antidepressants rather than relying on it alone as a permanent solution for chronic anxiety.

Risks and warnings

• Dependence risk: Regular use can lead to tolerance and physical dependence, even at prescribed doses.
• Withdrawal: Stopping suddenly after long term use may cause seizures, anxiety rebound or tremors, so doses are tapered gradually.
• Sedation: Avoid driving or operating machinery until the effect on alertness is known.
• Elderly patients: Increases fall risk and confusion in older adults, so lower doses are typically used.
• Pregnancy: Avoid use during pregnancy as it may affect fetal development or cause withdrawal in the newborn.
