Suggest Alternative Medication In Place Of Xanax
I received this medication at a hospital to deal with serious depression. I am sleeping 3 to 4 hours a night. My own psychiatrist told me not to take it. But I know from being in the hospital that is does help with sleeping. I like to take it for several nights so I can finally sleep. Is this ok? What alternative medicine can I take to help me sleep. I am being weaned from Xanax.

Hello,
Your doctor recommended avoiding using Xanax due to its addictive properties.
I suggest trying Valerian and Chamomile tea which are herbal remedies to treat insomnia.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
