Is It Safe To Take Alprazolam And Tylenol Before An MRI Procedure?

Hi I am getting an MRI and I am super nervous about the box. I will be taking Alprazolam to calm down. I took tylenol after having a 4th degree laceration with a fisure tear after having a baby, I do not do medications and I am just as worried about the Alprazolam as I am about the box. I do not want to feel drunk and i do not want to cry. Will this medicine do either?

Alprazolam will not lead to strong sedation. It induces sleep and mainly work in anxiety associated insomnia. But without doctor advise, don't take it. It can lead you habitual and dependence to that drug.

Zolpidem like non dependence producing drug available for short term insomnia problem.
