Would xanax cause ataxia?

well it is not a common side effect of alprazolam but it can cause ataxia in some people. if you are asking this because you are experience impaired balance for the xanax just tell your doctor so he can change your medication, if you are asking this just because you read that alprazolam can cause ataxia don麓t worry about it and keep with your treatment. good luck

it shouldn't.

It's not one of the more common side-effects but it has definitely been documented.

Are you on or off it when you experience this? If I go cold turkey and quit, which I don't recommend by any means, by the 72nd hour, I'm off balance.
It only happened once while I was on it and then, I had takne about 5x the script so I was slurring my words and having trouble walking.
