Accepted Answer

It could be: In my experience as a psychiatrist, weaning from xanax (alprazolam) can be challenging but not impossible.  First you need to be sure you have other ways to manage anxiety without it.  Hopefully you have been working with a psychotherapist to develop some of these.  You and your psychiatrist can create a tapering schedule, if both of you agree it's appropriate in your condition to try this.
