Xanax (alprazolam) withdrawal: Yes. It seems you are ready. I am proud of you for taking this step.

Probably: You're doing a good job of tapering off. 1/4 mg daily is a really low dose. Quit and see what happens. What have you got to lose?

Everyone is differen: There are standard tapering regimens not unlike what you describe. But any change in dose should always be discussed first with your prescribing physician.

Yes: You should be able to stop xanax (alprazolam) now without experiencing any side effects. If you experience anxiety again, see a dr.
