Hi, thank you for sharing this. Since you’ve had depression in the past and have been taking alprazolam every night for a year, your insomnia may be related to ongoing anxiety, residual depression, or your body becoming dependent on the medication for sleep. It’s important not to stop alprazolam suddenly, as it can cause withdrawal symptoms and worsen sleep.
The best approach is to consult your psychiatrist to review your medication and, if needed, gradually taper it under medical supervision. Along with this, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is one of the most effective long-term treatments. It helps retrain your brain to sleep naturally and often works better than relying on sleeping pills alone.
Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.
