Brief Answer:
xanax and cipralex are both different drugs with different actions
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Xanax contains alprazolam. It is a benzodazepine.It is used for sleep problem and anxiety episodes. Benzodiazepine group of drugs must be used under strict medical supervision otherwise it can cause tolerance, severe dependence and chances of abuse become higher. It is a strict prescription drug.
Cipralex contains Escitalopram. It is selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI). It is antidepressant medicine and used for depression and anxiety disorders.
So we cannot compare and replace these two drugs with each other. So your questions, "do xanax 1mg and cipralex pills 10mg feel the same? what can i do to make my cipralex intake quantity equal to the feeling i get from a xanax 1mg? and 2mg?" do not have specific answers. Hope you can understand this.
At night in my opinion xanax would be beneficial for good sound sleep. It has very fast onset of action with good potency.
Xanax will kick faster but it has very high tolerance and dependence potential so better to use according to doctor's advice. If I were your treating doctor I would like to prescribe clonazepam instead of xanax.
Cipralex after 4 weeks of use will show its maximum effectiveness.
Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.
