Alp and other drugs of this group are highly addictive and should not be taken without prescription.

General Practitioner in Lahore - Dr. Hamza Shakeel

its highly addictive..use it with caution.

General Practitioner in Hyderabad - Dr. Adil Memon

first of all, yes it's addictive, low doses can taken for mild Anxiety or depressive disorders, but not a precise & proper choice for anxiety & depression, mostly we doctors use this if anxietic or depressive patient needs sedation during treatment course, however Alp tablet alone can't treat anxiety or depression related issues. for further details, you can consult with me on audio/video call.
Thank you.

Member of Marham-Forum

Yes it’s addictive. Take only for prescribed days

General Practitioner in Peshawar - Dr. Sadaf Naz Khan

u can talk to your doctor for detail history to know whether its anxiety or depression. never take any medication without dr advice. dosage matters too.sometimes self treatment put more harm than benefiting u.u can book an appointment if u r facing any issues to talk in detail.

General Practitioner in Karachi - Dr. Shane Kumar

yes its very addictive and very hard to come off,, don't take until unless clinically diagnosed with anxiety.. there are other NOT so harsh ways to treat general day to day anxiety. contact for proper history and consultation
