Incorrect Prescription?

My Dr has prescribed Adco-Alzam to be used occasionally for a stiff neck. Now reading the
Iiterature I am questioning this???

REPORT

Adco-Alzam contains the active ingredient Alprazolam, used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders. This does appear to be the wrong medication if you are just dealing with a stiff neck and not anxiety.

If your stiff neck is in some way related to anxiety or fear in public places or tight spaces, then it can be considered the right medication. You'd have to be the judge of this yourself though.

If the stiffness is related to your nerves or muscle tightness, then it would make more sense to have your doctor refer you to an endocrinologist and/or physical therapist to decide on proper treatment. In any case however, it does seem like you got the wrong medication. What does your gut tell you?

On questioning the dr I have been told that half or one pill occasionally will do the trick. I will try and see how it goes. I am very wary of this drug tho as I know it is very addictive! Thanks for yr input..
