Hi, maddawg.

 

Welcome to benzobuddies. Glad you found us. 

 

You will find a lot of information and support here.  You're on a rather high dose of Xanax, so I hope you're able to slowly taper. This will reduce your chances of having severe symptoms. While everyone is unique in how they experience withdrawal, a slow, gentle taper is best.

 

A good resource about benzodiazepines is the Ashton Manual. Here is a link to the manual: Professor Ashtons Manual  It’s great for learning about these meds and for taper plans. Ashton recommends reducing between 5 - 10% every 10/14 days.

 

You'll find a great community of people here who will support and encourage you. Feel free to check out the forum and to post to any of the dedicated boards.

 

In addition to the Ashton Manual, here are some other resources:

 

For tapering advice, post here: General Taper Plans

 

For support with any symptoms you may have, post here: Withdrawal Support

Welcome  that is a pretty hefty dose. How long have you been taking them? in my opinion a slower taper can help minimize withdrawal symptoms.
