5mg xanax (alprazolam) 2 times a day 5 yrs tapered to 0.25 in 7 months is this taper too slow insomnia and mild anxiety. i take 1mg of noctamid for insomnia?

It depends. : A slow taper of xanax (alprazolam) is always best. If it is tapered too quickly, you could have rebound anxiety. A taper from 0.5mg twice a day could maybe be faster than 7 months but it could be just the right pace for your particular needs.
