Can I Stop Taking Xanax Medication?
I have been on Xanax for about eleven months taking .25 mg twice a day morning and night until about three weeks ago when i switched to take only .25 mg in the morning and then week ago I switched to take the pill in the evening. The question is: can I stop taking the medication?

Hello,
It is not wise to discontinue Xanax as you are taking this medicine for quite a long time. I suggest you to visit your doctor for a proper detox program to avoid any unwanted complications related to drug withdrawal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
