Ready to taper again?

[[Re...]]

How does one know when they are ready to make the next micro taper?  I have been on 1.25 mg xanax for 12 days.  I feel depressed, slightly dizzy, heart palpitations and anxious, but nothing unbearable.  Should I wait until I feel good or move on to a 1.125 daily dose now?  Thanks for any advice.  Also, are the heart palpitations dangerous?  They are scary and I don't like the feeling at all.

Hello.

 

Your signature says you are micro tapering but it looks as though you have gone from 1.5mg to 1.25mg xanax in a single cut.  Is that correct?  If so, that's slightly more than a 16% cut at once, which was done only 12 days ago.  Have you considered making smaller cuts?  It might lead to a more smooth reduction.  I am not very familiar with Xanax but the idea that one shouldn't cut more than 5-10 percent every 14 days is a good yardstick to start with.

Ok, thanks for the advice.  Maybe I am trying to do it too quickly.  Slow and steady wins the race I hear!
