Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Alprazolam is commonly used for anxiety and depression problems. Using it together with Levetiracetam every day may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness. In a emergency situation, to prevent mainly status epilepticus, may be used other benzodiazepine drugs ( Diazepam, Midazolam or Clonazepam). These should be used in hospital, using them everyday may increase side effects of both drugs and cause damages to your health.Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
