Will Sudden Discontinuing Of Xanax For A Long Term User Cause Problem ?

yes my name is Annette and I have been on long term Xanax and at this point im going to run out before it can be filled again but I know that I am not to stop suddenly taking it so do you think an urgent care center could treat me for this just for about 3 days
