How to properly taper of xanax 0.25mg taken 1 time a day for the last 9 weeks! pharmacist said i didn't need to taper off of that dose, but i feel that is wrong. thanks?

That is a very low dose and if you are taking it just once a day, you can stop taking it without a taper. You could also take it every other day for a few doses and then stop it if that makes you more comfortable. Does the doctor who prescribed it know you are stopping it? You could also call that prescriber for additional guidance. Best of luck to you!

No need to taper, it has to do with your initial symptoms, possible alternate ways to control them. Best would be to keep your doc/ prescriber involved as to how to ensure a smooth transition.
