A member asked:
Is it okay to take.75 of xanax (alprazolam) just to fall asleep? been doing it for two weeks but afraid of addiction or not taking properly multiple x a day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not for sleep: Xanax (alprazolam) disrupts normal sleep. It should not be used as a hypnotic. Yes it has addiction potential and may cause rebound anxiety and seizures.
