Have been on .25mg of xanax (alprazolam) for anxiety once a day for a year..how do i withdraw from taking it?

Work With MD: That amount once a day is not extremely high & your dependence if most liely more thinking you need it than a physical need. That said, coming off it depends on why you are taking it since the underlying cause for you to need it may still be present. Talk to the doctor that prescribes it to get the best schedule for reducing your use until you can stop.
