You can take lorazepam or clonazepam.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Restyl is having alprazolam.
Better to start lorazepam or clonazepam.
But you need doctor 's prescription for this.
So consult psychiatrist and discuss about this drug.
