Alprazolam 0.25 mg daily once - stop
I have prescribed alprazolam 0.25 mg daily once for little anxiety. I have taken it for 20 days. I have stop taking this from last 4 days.
Then I came to know from internet that this medicine should not be stop immediately but reduce dosage. But I have used medicine for only 20 days and very low dosage . 20 days consider to be short term , so can I stop it immediately or reduce dosage for some days and then stop?
