I have been taking one 0.5mg dose of xanax (alprazolam) every 2-3 days for the last month while waiting for lexapro to work. xanax (alprazolam) taper needed or can i just stop?

Ok to stop: Since you're taking the Xanax (alprazolam) that infrequently, you should be able to completely discontinue without any problems at all. Hope that helps!
