New Again

Hi everyone,

 

I'm new to BenzoBuddies but this is my second time. The last time I tried tapering and it was not a good time. I'm tapering off Xanax, and it's been hard as nails. I am here for all the help and support and encouragement I can get.  Thanks!

Hi and welcome!!

 

Xanax? Recommended taper rate is 5-10% every two weeks. You also have an option of doing a C/O to Valium. Or liquid or dry titration. Hope it works well for you. This is my third taper and I'm doing pretty well. :thumbsup::smitten:

Welcome. the folks here are outstanding for support and encouragement. Just knowing that your symptoms are real and shared by most here is so helpful. Reading other people's stories can help keep your mind occupied and let you know success will come.

Hey you guys,

 

Thanks so much for the welcome.  I've been tapering off Xanax since last fall, from 1 mg to .5mg, and it's been a doozy. I just saw my doctor and asked to switch back to Valium so I can do a slow taper. I'm going to make the switch tonight. I think it will be helpful since I'm experiencing withdrawal symptoms in the afternoons, which leaving me feeling dizzy, in fear, and panicky.  Just reading about other people's stories and hearing success is super encouraging.

 

Thanks guys!

;)
