Should I Be Having Withdrawal Symptoms From Low Dose Of Alprazolam?
My Dr./Pa. has stopped my .05 alprazolam after being prescribed this med for four years. Should I be having withdrawl symptoms from this low dose? I m not feeling well. Is this how a reputable Dr. treats their patient? Please help. She informed me that I would not have withdrawls. Is this true?

See first of all I need to know for what purpose you were on Alprazolam for four years .
If your Doctor felt that purpose is no longer an indication to continue the medication he would have stopped the alprazolam . So without knowing the reason I can't comment whether the doctor has done right or wrong .
Yes you can have withdrawal in the form of Sleeplessness , Irritability , Tiredness in morning . But these will last only for few days .
