HiThanks for using healthcare magicCitalopram is a antidepressant and alprazolam is a benzodiazepine. Antidepressant usually takes two weeks to show response. That why, first take both of these drugs for two weeks and then try to stop alprazolam. Mean time you can try some relaxation exercise that would help to control anxiety symptoms. Rest, you can consult your doctor. In case, you need further help, you can ask.Thanks
