Hello Mr. Sivakumar.In trika there is alprazolam 0.5, while previously you were taking Clonazepam?/Lorazepam?(Dose not mentioned).Alprazolam is very mischievous drug in my opinion as it causes tolerance and dependence fast in many patients. While lorazepam and clonazepam are not causing so much dependence though they cause somewhat.Why you shifted to other medicines also not mentioned. Aplrazolam initially helpful for sleep but as time passes same dose will not be eefective that's why you are not getting sllep.Remedy for that consult the doctor and shift to clonazepam or lorazepam. SecondSecond thing anxiety disorder(exact dignosis not mentioned as there are many anxiety disorders) can be cured by addition of psychotherapy specifically CBT. With help of psychotherapy later on you can stop medicine.So consult psychiatrist or psychologist for the same.
