Alprazolam withdrawal symptoms and side effects

withdrawal symptoms and side effects

ALPRAZOLAM is a short-acting drug in the benzodiazepine class of medications and is one of the most prescribed medications in the world today. ALPRAZOLAM reaches it peak level in the body within 1-2 hours. This short half-life may also contribute to possible episodes of breakthrough anxiety as the body reaches tolerance to the drug.

ALPRAZOLAM also alters the sleep architecture by reducing the amounts of restorative Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep and increasing the non-restorative sleep patterns. This can result in daytime drowsiness and poor cognitive function. ALPRAZOLAM can also depress the tone of respiratory muscles, which may lead to sleep apnea.
