A member asked:
Can i break my .5mg alpazolam in half and take that daily to taper off? i tried to skip a dose, wasn't feeling anxious today but got dizzy.

Yes: That is perfectly fine to break them in half. Make sure your doctor knows that you are doing this. Benzos are a class of meds that you do need to taper to prevent possible seizures. Good luck!
