Hi, good that you are asking before stopping or changing the medications. My strict advice “please do not stop/change the medications on your own.”
Anything on earth has potential to cause side effects even water. So yes, side effects are possible. However, Alprazolam comes under sedatives (sleep inducing) drugs given for various reasons and has some effects which is potentially dangerous. The medications are given after doing risk benefit evaluation.
This medicine is called as Benzodiazepines (BZD) and there are some new variants called as Non-BZDs available in the market with less side effects. Having said that, it is the indication of the drug and risk-benefit evaluations which determines which medication to prescribe.
Please consult your primary physician before stopping or changing the medications.
I hope this is helpful.
Next Steps

While stoping any medication which you are taking since along time it cross the blood brain barrier hence you became habitual to it. So you should aware about the withdrawal syndrome. I will suggest you the natural anti-stress medicine it's is extracted from milk substance known as lactium .
Other medicine which your are taking we will stop it by tapering the dose. So please contact me to get start your treatment.

It's not safe. Better do mediation and jogging daily. If you still require medical help then I can advise you better and side effect free medicine.
