Xanax (alprazolam) Tapering: I commend you for your desire to taper off Xanax (alprazolam) Discuss with Psychiatrist • Severity of Anxiety symptoms when you started Xanax (alprazolam) • Severity of Anxiety symptoms now • If sleep has improved, decreasing Xanax (alprazolam) to 0.5 mg at night • Therapy for stresses in your life • Breathing Relaxation • Meditation • Yoga • Visual Imagery of National Parks • Music Relaxation • Follow up
