Timing

Take Alprazolam as prescribed. Glycine and taurine have calming GABA-ergic properties that may amplify sedation — use caution and take at separate times. L-theanine promotes relaxation through a different mechanism and is generally safe. Avoid high-dose GABA supplements alongside benzodiazepines.

Risk factors

Higher risk for: elderly (fall risk, oversedation), those with respiratory conditions, concurrent opioid or alcohol use, liver impairment, history of substance use disorder, or those on multiple CNS depressants.

Symptoms to watch for

Watch for: profound drowsiness, slowed reflexes, impaired coordination, confusion, memory problems, slurred speech, or mood changes. Avoid driving or operating heavy equipment. When to seek emergency help: Severely slowed or stopped breathing, inability to be woken, severe confusion, fainting, or paradoxical agitation. Never combine with alcohol. Do not stop benzodiazepines abruptly — taper under medical supervision.
