Alprazolam may cause side effects like sleepiness and drowsiness, jerky, uncoordinated movements, inability to remember bits of information, slurred speech, dizziness, light-headedness, headaches, constipation, dry mouth, tiredness, and irritability. If these side effects are bothersome or persistent, consult your doctor before stopping or changing the medicine, as they can suggest adjusting the dose or switching to another medication safely.
