I'm taking 1 mg xanax (alprazolam) 1x a day for sleep do i need to taper off ? if so how would i do that?

Depends on: How long you have been taking it. Probably not. You just might have a few nights where you have trouble falling asleep it is short acting so you should fall asleep after a couple of hours on your own. Good luck
