Ty for asking....actually my appt went really well I just explained some things to her and we compromised and I will be going down to just two a day instead of three and we will leave it there....I dont take it for sleep...I have no problem sleeping usually but when my anxiety gets so high my body starts to shut down...this last time she had me try and wean off I was In Hospital for 2 days for my heart and severe chest pain and could not digest my food...she put me back to regular dose I have taken for 27 years and everything went away....I have never gone up on my dose it has stayed the same for all those years...

@mmussak I'm so glad the doctor worked with you... I'm a believer in "if it ain't broke don't fix it! "

Hi Mary, I am brand new to this site and group. I have read some of your posts and good for you. My name is Sheila and I am in the process of weaning off of Alprazolem. This is day 82 and my heart is racing, I have a headache, some nervousness, I have been on it for 40 years. Yikes. Do you know of anyone that is doing this? Not sure how to reach out to people. Have a good day.
