yes, Alp is for sleeping nd anxiety. but it should not b started without proper checkup as it is not recommended in few medical conditions and can be life threatening. if someone suffering from anxiety or sleep disorder he should get himself checked properly befpre starting this medication.
it can be used for mild- moderate anxiety .. it can be addictive once used in long term and higher doses .. otherwise its really work great in therapeutic dose and tapered off slowly ..
Alp can cause dependence and subsequent addiction. kindly don't use it without having proper Medical advice.

consult Psychiatrist
Alp tablet when taken reduces anxiety and brings relief for a short period of time. it should not be taken for mild anxiety without the consultation of a doctor. yes it has addictive potential like other benzodiazepines.
You should take this tablet after consulting with medical specialist or Psychiatrist.
Thank you.
Alp can relieve anxiety and is widely used to treat it but there are still better options
and for mild anxiety taking alp doesnt make sense...and it can cause addiction if used for long term
first i will need to learn more about ur condition with a consultation and then only will i be able to suggest the best medication for u
2 years ago
can be addicted if take long time
tablet alp is addictive, it can be taken but there are better options. it is always better to discuss your situation first.
u can tak it for 2-3 day as per advised by doctor but don't misuse it.. for mild anxiety you can use different therapies or consult psychiatrist
well dear sure you can use this tablet for mild case it is very effective but in thos class of group needs taperring before you stop it as withdrawl effects are quite common in this way your body will not be addict for it
prolonged use is not advise as it may cause Liver enzymes disturbance and habitual intake
Alp and other drugs of this group are highly addictive and should not be taken without prescription.

its highly addictive..use it with caution.
Dr. Adil Memon - General Practitioner
MBBS, RMP | Hyderabad
first of all, yes it's addictive, low doses can taken for mild Anxiety or depressive disorders, but not a precise & proper choice for anxiety & depression, mostly we doctors use this if anxietic or depressive patient needs sedation during treatment course, however Alp tablet alone can't treat anxiety or depression related issues. for further details, you can consult with me on audio/video call.
Thank you.
u can talk to your doctor for detail history to know whether its anxiety or depression. never take any medication without dr advice. dosage matters too.sometimes self treatment put more harm than benefiting u.u can book an appointment if u r facing any issues to talk in detail.
Dr. Shane Kumar - General Practitioner

yes its very addictive and very hard to come off,, don't take until unless clinically diagnosed with anxiety.. there are other NOT so harsh ways to treat general day to day anxiety. contact for proper history and consultation
