Can you just stop taking .25 xanax if it was 1 a day for a short time?

Yes, it should be fine if you just take for a week or two. If you want to be concern free you can go with every other day for a couple times then as needed or stop.

Yes and strongly recommended given unfavorable side effect profile and habit forming potential. Always a good idea to inform your prescriber and having a good plan B in case still experiencing significant symptoms.
