Weaning off alprazolam 1 mg daily for 1 year. was told by doctor to take it every other day for one week then take only as needed. any recommendations?

So you took 1 mg of Xanax daily for one year and you are weaning off. The method that I recommend is half a pill daily for 2-4 weeks then discontinue. The does is not that high so this ought to work.
