Hi,
You forgot the name of the medication you are on, and more details, so we can help you.

It was alpralozam/Xanax
I don´t know your discontinuation schedule of this benzodiazepine, you are on a low dose, but I also don´t now your medical background, what was your starting dose and what was the initial dosage and how gradually you have been decreasing your dosage, plus Xanax is one addictive benzo, and again, you do not provide details , like you you mention Schizophrenia, are you taking an antipsychotic?
I would love to help you but I do´t guess when I answer a post.
I suggest you speak to your prescriber/Psychiatrist.
With regards to the dose, everyone reacts differently to medications, but some people are very sensitive to the benzodiazepine drug class, so again perhaps you fell fine and other people would be having withdrawal symptoms, as I mentioned in the best of manners, I can´t help you because here I am guessing, not being able to provide facts...
I wish you the best, masso
