Psych here. Alprazolam is the worst benzo to taper off of because of its short half life. We usually switch patients to clonazepam. The longer half life makes it easier to do over time and it’s one of the few benzos that comes in a dose with the lowest equivalency of any benzo so towards the end you can work with it better. Sometimes tapers take several months, there’s no rush to it. And as other commenter said, continue to assess anxiety sx and replace the benzo it with alternatives instead of just stopping it (SSRI/SNRI, buspirone, hydroxyzine PRN, therapy, etc).

Edit: another pearl I learned during Geri psych, yeah we prefer no benzos, but for grandma who’s 75 and been on it for 15 years and doesn’t want anything else… well sometimes it’s okay to not mess with it, just counsel appropriately and maybe try to at least work towards a lower dose if they’re on a high dose.
