Isnt it harmful to just take someone off xanax (alprazolam) cold turkey?

It certainly can be.: The higher the dose and the longer the person has been on it are two factors to consider.

It is not: it is hard, but not harmful. usually it is better to do it with the help of a physician while cutting down the frequency,and the doses.

TAPER SLOWLY: With most medication, especially if you have been on it a long time it is best to slowly taper and monitor for symptoms.
