Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
An alternative of Alprazolam which is slightly more effective is Ativan.
You can start the dosage of 0.5 mg three times a day and increase the dosage depending on your need.
It is a prescription medication, so you should consult your doctor before taking it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
