Is alprozalam the medicine for anxiety disorder a safe medicine for long term use. how much at length it should be taken.

Needs monitoring: as other scheduled medications, also can interact with other drugs, especially opioids, dose adjustment is needed at times if tolerance (current dose is no longer effective) develop. So in a nutshell: unsafe to use on your own without doctor's supervision, best wishes

Yes and no: This is "safe" in the sense that some take It for many years and tolerate it well. It is unsafe in the sense that it can cause significant side effects, creates dependency (once you've been taking regularly for a few weeks you will have severe withdrawal if you stop and need to taper very slowly) and,like most drugs,is not a cure. It is best used in conjunction with other treatments- see comment:
