How to stop sleep anxiety?
human
so I took adapexin-p today for the first time to help me lose weight. It has Phenylethylamine, Glucomannan, Chromaxx (chromium picolinate), Raspberry Ketones, Evodiamine, Ginger Root, Caffeine Anhydrous,and vitamin B-12 in it. I was wondering if I could take 1mg of xanax to help me get to sleep as I am having unrelated anxiety. I just wanted to make sure they don t interact, please help.

Hi, thanks for the query. Xanax (alprazolam) is a powerful anxiolytic & sleep inducer (hypnotic). Hence its useful in short term for a good sleep. But it is rapidly addiction forming & hence difficult to wean off in intermediate/long term. Hence, if you can tell your exact nature of sleep problems & anxiety symptoms; we can formulate a treatment plan accordingley. You can practice good sleep measures which are; doing daily 30 minutes physical exercise; fixed time of going to bed & getting up; avoiding day time naps; avoiding coffee/cigarettes after 7pm; using bed only for sleep & sex (nothing else). Also there are many novel drugs like agomelatin, ramelteon which help naturally improving your circadian rhythem & improve sleep without causing addiction. Other medications like mirtazapine, trazodone etc. are also very useful. Hence consult your Psychiatrist today for sleep probelms. Good luck
