Source of Xanax (alprazolam)?: If you were prescribed the xanax (alprazolam), (alprazolam) hopefully you tapered your dose and did not stop it suddenly. If you were taking xanax (alprazolam) not prescribed for you, it's unclear what you actually received since it would have been acquired from illegal sources. Sounds like you're concerned enough about the way you feel to see your physician for an evaluation. Good luck.
