Hi! In your case you've been on Alprax for insomnia. Though you were advised 0.5
mg you've reduced the dose to 0.125 mg. You'll do well to know that Alprax induces tolerance over a period of time (which means that gradually the dose required to produce the desired effect increases with time). As long as you find
the low dose effective you can continue taking it. However you also need to discuss with your doctor alternate ways of reducing your anxiety and getting good quality sleep. All the best!
