Addiction: both these meds are very addictive and lead to tolerance. You do not say why you are taking them, but you need to discuss alternatives with your Dr. Don't stop alprazolam (Xanax) abruptly as withdrawal can cause seizures, etc

Depends: These are not drugs that it is good to take long term. You should not stop the xanax (alprazolam) abruptly as that can cause withdrawal symptoms. The problem with these medications is that they are addictive and the body gets used to them and then they do not work so well and you need more and more. Try to work with your doctor to find other treatments for your symptoms that are safer and healthier.

Probably: That depends on what you're taking it for, what your other medicines and conditions are, and if you're getting regular in-person follow up regarding efficacy of these medicines and monitoring of side effects.
