Pill Question

[tom219]

My doctor perscribed me Alprazolam 0.5MG for anxiety. I was wondering when I do get off this pill for my anxeity will all my symptoms come back such as brain fog. I feel so good when I am on the pill I feel like myself. I am only 19 and just wondering if this is going to be a life long issue? thank you tom

The best way to get long term relief from this in my opinion, is by talking to a therapist. In my experience, you are going to have to get to the root of the problem; your anxiety.  Once you confront it and learn about it, you will have the knowledge to handle this.  I know it can be scary and frightnening at first, but you WILL get better with effort and a willness to learn.  Keep us posted!

as well I am worried that I have a brain tumor or something that cannot be cured I really dont know what to do I have been in and out of the doctors office almost once every month. I really cant keep affording all these pills along with the co payment, I just need help in determining what this is and maybe some suggestions of how to get rid of it. Thank you. Tom

Your asking a question that is impossible to answer, hopefully when you stop your meds all will be well, but there is no way to know that, I would suggest a little bit of cognative therapy as well as learning some relaxation techniques, learn what your triggers are for anxiety and how to deal with them.Seek help. look for references from friends that is often a good way to find a good therapist.
