A member asked:

I have been on xanax (alprazolam) 2 year 4 anxiety! no taping off them can withdrawal give u stom cramps nite sweat and nausea? any help please shld i keep take them

A doctor has provided 1 answer

GUIDE LINE: Tapering off any psychoactive med should be gradual or unpleasant symptoms may result with sudden discontinuation. Meds ease anxiety but don't erase the causes. Several types of psychotherapy are effective. That plus meds may bring you to the point where meds are not needed and tapering off is reasonable.
