To help manage these symptoms, you can try taking a medication called lorazepam (brand name: Ativan). The usual dosage for anxiety is 1-2 mg, taken 2-3 times a day as needed. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 59 and has been having trouble getting a good night's sleep. He was given Alprax 0.25 by the doctor, and he's supposed to take half of that, 0.125mg, each night for 10 days, then stop. He's only taken it for two days so far, but he's already thinking about quitting it now. Is it safe for him to just stop taking it? I'm really concerned about possible withdrawal symptoms like seizures. Can you give some advice on this?
Your dad can stop taking Alprax 0.125mg after just 2 days without significant risk of severe withdrawal symptoms like seizures, as the duration of use was short and the dose was low, but he may still experience mild symptoms like anxiety or insomnia, which should resolve on their own within a few days.
