I have been taking .25mg of Xanax twice daily for almost 20 years. It was initially prescribed for panic attacks. I no longer have or fear panic attacks and am thinking it might be time to stop the Xanax. I haven't talked to my doctor about it, and probably will, but would like to know what I might expect and how best to wean myself off of Xanax. I never feel any different after taking xanax. It has just become a daily habit that I would like to quit.

Coming off .25mg twice a day isn't all that hard.

Try coming off 4mg per day. I suffered nasty w/d after taking 4mg for three
weeks!

If they're .25mg tablets, just take half a tablet instead of a full one, and
then after a week take a quarter of a tablet (hard to split half a tablet in
half again, but can be done if you're willing to do so).
