Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic. I, Dr Abhishek Kapoor, would help you in this query.

Alprazolam is a benzodiazepine and you need written prescription for that. You can either consult a physician or another psychiatrist for that. You can also try some relaxation exercise in case you feel any anxiety or sleep disturbance. If you take alprazolam for sleep, you can try any anti-histaminic drug that could available over the counter. This would help to get sound sleep.

In case, you need further help, you can ask.
