Yes, the symptoms you describe may be related to the use of Alprox (alprazolam):
* depression and anxiety
* loss of sensation, numbness of the face and lips * dizziness, loss of coordination *Nausea
Alprazolam belongs to a class of benzodiazepines that may cause side effects, particularly at the beginning of treatment or during dose escalation.
In this situation, you should immediately consult the doctor who prescribed it. Self-discontinuation of the drug may lead to withdrawal symptoms. Tell your doctor if you have any side effects you have already experienced. Any modifications in therapy, including discontinuation of the drug, should be introduced after consultation with the attending physician who is familiar with your health condition in detail: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/czy-jak-i-kiedy-mozna-odstawic-leki
Please do not ignore increased depression and anxiety. These are serious symptoms that require medical attention. Also, be careful when performing activities that require coordination until the side effects subside.
