Hi ... By your history, it feels like your wife is suffering from anxiety disorder along with insomnia. Sustained release alprazolam will help in tackling anxiety and Sodium(Collided) will help in sleep. Apart from medications, counselling and cognitive behavioral therapy will also help in anxiety. Regarding the duration, it depends upon the symptoms. If symptoms subsides, then the doses are tapered and finally discontinued. It should not be stopped abruptly. Hope this helps. Thanks.
