How should Alprazolam usage be weaned off?
human
I started with 1/2 mg of alprazolam. The doctor suggested it was cheaper to buy 2 mg and break it in quarters. I now have gradually upgraded to 2 mg nly at night and I sleep all night trhu. However my blood press has escalated to 190-100-94. What dio I do to get off this medicine? I am addicted
