How to stop taking 0.5 Alprazalom once a day after 30 years?

Starting taking because my doctor at the time put me on it for stress.  Also on veneflaxlin 75mg once a day. As well as I remember both were because of stress. Alprazalom may have been to be able to sleep too? Now morbid obesity. Lost 55 pounds since Feb. 2016. My crietian (spelled) level has been 1.3 to 1.7 for last two years. Went to Kidney specialist a week ago. He sent me to have kidney ultrasound yesterday. He wanted to see if I have kidney stones and then he will talk to biatric stomach surgeon to see if they approve my surgery.  I have been approved for all other test for the surgery. From 400 too 345 pounds now/

Alprazolam should never be taken because it increases the risk of dementia. Stop taking it, withdrawal will last about 5-7 days and will get better. Don't worry.
