Hi,
How are you? Side-effect profile of xanax (alprazolam) is benign. It may occur to some patients and not necessarily to all patients. This depends on your underlying medical conditions or immunity. In your case, since you've been tapering this, you may want to discuss this further with your doctor. Additional medication may be indicated for the insomnia. Take care and do keep us posted.
Thanks for your reply.What additional medication could I take for the insomnia?.Please let me know names of a few medications for insomnia which I could discuss with my Psychiatrist so that he could prescribe it for me.Thanks
