Best Answer

Alprazolam is not generally used for depression. However, it is always best to be honest with your doctor. This way he/she can accurately access your symptoms and prescibe medications accordingly. If you took this medication and you really do have depression, just tell the doctor that. Especially if you felt that it helped. Alprazolam can be addictive though, if taken incorrectly, it is for short-term use. Maybe you can get a prescription for something more suitable for your symptoms. You may even want to see a psychiatrist, a Doctor Who specializes in these types of issues.

Should you stop alprazolam before surgery?

Obviously everybody should check with their own doctor and anesthesiologist. I asked mine if I could take alprazolam before my surgery. They said "please do if it helps you and just tell us the dose and time". If you google alprazolam and surgery you will find there have been studies on its efficacy as pre-surgery anti-anxiety medication. I just read such a clinical study and it appears it is a reasonable choice. But YOU MUST CHECK WITH YOUR OWN DOCTOR! Use advice on the web to formulate an opinion or to decide what to talk to the doctor about, but never made pre-surgical medical decisions with discussing with your doctor.
