Alprazolam_Ryan Help!

I am taking Alprazolam pretty infrequently but have needed it more recently as I switched to Cymbalta from Wellbutrin.  Is Alprazolam the generic for Xanax and if so, I think I better switch to Klonopin due to all of the horror stories I have been reading about Xanax and long-term use compared to Klonopin.  Any advice or feedback?

To be able to manage with the discontinuation of Xanax at nighttime for sleep,  can I switch to one of the newer sleeping aids such as Ambien or Lunesta?  Would these be better than using Xanax for a sleeping aid?  Thanks again!

I have been taking Xanax to help me sleep at night.  Is Klonopin a much better med for sleep at night.  I have taken Xanaz for a long time.  I almost feel that I can't sleep at night unless I take it.  I use Xanax primarly just at night.  Thanks so much!

Thats what I figured.  It sounds like Klonopin is a better option.  I will talk to my Dr. about that.

If you can get a non addicting drug other than Xanax (Alprazolam is the generic) do so. TRUST ME.....I have been taking it for a few yrs now, and can't get off of it. If you can do without it, don't take it. It is so addicting, if I knew that from the beginning, I wouldn't have ever taken it.
