Hello swan11. Welcome to the forum, we're glad you found us!  Congratulations on deciding to get off Xanax; we generally recommend a taper rate of about 5-10% every 10-14 days, though individual rates vary.  Here are a few links you may find useful:

 

General Taper Plans

 

Withdrawal Support (during your taper).

 

The Ashton Manual is an authoritative source on what to expect in withdrawal and recovery.  Dr. Ashton is an expert in the field.  She describes and explains withdrawal symptoms, and there is also a section with withdrawal/taper schedules.

 

Please take the time to Create a Signature.  This will allow others to see where you are in the process so they can better support you.

 

Again, welcome!

Hey Swan11,

 

When I tapered off XanaxXR, my doctor gave me some regular .25mg xanax to taper with.  With these I was able to make much smaller cuts which were tolerable.  How has your taper gone so far?

Yes, Xanax XR can't be cut because it's extended release.  I know Juliea (one of our admins here) and a member named Carita both were on XanaxXR.  I'd post here as well as General Taper plans: Xanax Support Blog
