Does an overdose of alprazolam cause any harm?

Q: If I take an overdose of the drug Trika, say 20 pills, is it safe? What are the side effects?

A:Trika is the brand name of a medicine called alprazolam. It is to be used in the short-term only, for symptomatic relief of moderate to severe anxiety. No one should take it in over dosage (such as 10 mg at a time) because it will do no good but can harm by adversely affecting the blood pressure, respiration etc apart from unsteady and/or inability to walk.
