I am 62 i am taking .25mg of xanax (alprazolam) twice a day..will this be hard to wean off of?

It might be: While the dosage isn't very high, it would depend on how long you have been taking it. Also it will depend on the psychological need that you have for the medication, in other words there can be psychological dependency as well as physical dependency. You should speak with the doctor who is prescribing the medication.
