A member asked:
I have been taking .5 mg of xanax (alprazolam) once a day for about a month, is this enough to cause withdrawals if i stop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It could: It's a small amount, but you have been using it daily for a month. It's best to talk with the doctor who prescribed it to you, and create a taper plan.
