A member asked:

How can i quite alprazolam xr completely after 5 years?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

SLOWLY!!!: First of all this can be achieved if done slowly and carefully. Depends on the dose as well. I would suggest a slow decrease in the dose every 2-4 weeks. This is the key go slowly and under your physicians care.
