Alprazolam Dosage Guide
Anxiety: 0.25–0.5mg three times daily, increasing gradually if needed (max 4mg/day).
Panic disorder: 0.5–1mg three times daily (max 10mg/day in some cases).
Xanax should be used only for short periods (2–4 weeks maximum) due to the risk of tolerance and dependence. Discontinuation should be gradual — never stop abruptly, as withdrawal can be dangerous.
Xanax vs Diazepam: Key Differences
Xanax is faster-acting but shorter-lasting than Diazepam. It is more potent mg-for-mg and carries a higher dependence risk due to its short half-life. Diazepam has a longer half-life (20–100 hours), making it better for chronic anxiety management and alcohol withdrawal. Both are available from QuickMedzUK.
Side Effects of Xanax
Common side effects: drowsiness, dizziness, memory problems, coordination issues. Serious: respiratory depression (especially when combined with opioids or alcohol), paradoxical aggression, and dependence with prolonged use. Never combine Xanax with alcohol.
