I have been on alprazalum for severe panic and anxiety disorders plus it helps my seizures that hit me every once in a while and the doctor I was seeing let me stay on them plus Prozec and Tramadol for my fibromyalgia pain now this offer takes over and I went into her office and the first thing see said was I am taking you off intererly off the Alprazolam and I asked her way and she told me if was not good for me and I had took her Dr. Morley checked my blood chemistry work and it relates really good for my body since back in 1991 I had a complete nervous breakdown due to my grandsons death he was murdered at four months and four days and it put me in a pysicatric hospital in Olympia, WA I did not know who I was , good not breath on my own and I had a doctor say you will be on this medication for the rest of your live because when I had the seizures it killed some of my brain cells so it is very important that I stay on all three medications Alprazolam, Prosec and my Tramadol for pain and I do not know off any doctors who does want to keep me on these meds. It does not hurt me it makes me fill like a whole person again. so where do I find a doctor who understands that I need these medications?

Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related quires

I can understand your problem, a lot of individuals develop severe anxiety and depressive symptoms following death of some loved one. Prozac is Fluoxetine and the drug is a SSRI drug and is safe drug for fibromyalgia, depression and anxiety. It can be taken for prolonged times also. Tremadol is an OPIOID analgesic drug and the drug has been prescribed to you for pain of fibromyalgia. Alprazolam is a benzodiazepine drug and the drug can help to control symptoms of anxiety and also helps in sleep. The drug can cause dependence when taken for long times and individuals develop tolerance. The drug can potentiate cognitive impairment in elderly if taken for long times. As per my opinion this is the main reason your doctor has advised you to stop the drug.

Try to stop using that drug and continue to take Prozac and Tremadol as prescribed and visit your doctor regularly.

Thanks, hope this helps you.
