Alprazolam is available in different forms (liquid and tablet forms) for the treatment of anxiety and depression in patients older than 18. This medicine should be taken exactly as recommended, as otherwise you are not going to enjoy the benefits of your treatment. Alprazolam has been reported to interact with erythromycin, mental illness drugs, clarithromycin, antihistamines, isoniazid, fluvoxamine, ergotamine, oral contraceptives, seizure medications, diltiazem, sertraline, antidepressants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, sedatives, cimetidine, antifungals, and tranquilizers, so you will need to be careful when you decide to start taking some new medication. Some medical conditions you have may also cause interference – for instance, if you have breathing problems, a history of addiction to drugs or alcohol, glaucoma, liver disease, kidney disease, a history of depression or suicidal thoughts this may require a dose adjustment. There is no need to worry if at the beginning of your treatment you get a few mild side effects, such as dry mouth, dizziness, increased salivation, weight changes, irritability, light-headedness, changes in sex drive or ability, drowsiness, changes in appetite, or tiredness, as they pass on their own in most cases.
