QUESTION: dear sir,
what is the use of alprazolam tablet whether it effect to libido, one of the doctor has written it to me, and how is libotryp for depression and anxiety?

Answer
Dear Majid

Alprazolam is for anxiety and has sedative properties. It doers not usually affect ones libido. Libotryp, I think is amitryptiline, an antidepressant with strong sedative properties and usually decreases libido. It is not all that much use as an antianxiety drug.

Regards

Alan Galbraith
