How Can I Safely Wean Off Alprazolam Without Causing Any Withdrawal Symptoms?

Greetings, I have taken every sleeping Medication available prescription , natural, and over counter. I am currently on Alprazolam and have been for at least 30 years because after trying all others it seemed the most effective. I HAVE NO ANXIETY or Depression I simply since childhood have owned this awful thing called Insomnia. I want to be off of Alprazolam desperately, please kindly share your thoughts and I welcome any and your comments to help me to get at least 3 to 4 hours of sleep which would be heaven sent. With much gratitude in advance.

Hello,

No might have subclinical anxiety. Visit psychologist. Also, consult a psychiatrist for Alpraz weaning. He will taper it down as it should not be abruptly withdrawn. Learn relaxation techniques.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
