OMG do not do this. Benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome would definitely happen (especially after 4 decades!)
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzodiazepine_withdrawal_syndrome
If you were to do this, you might have the worst anxiety of your life and could have a deadly seizure. A friend of mine, a good one, had a grand mal seizure attempting to stop Xanax abruptly after taking it for years.
