[...] Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I have been on Xanax .25 /3x day for 18 months, mostly took it by breaking in half as I tried not to take to much for situational anxiety but found every few hrs I was going through withdrawal and by end of day ended up taking pretty much prescribed dose. I am taking .12 8am, 2pm, and 8pm. I don’t have severe withdrawal as others heartbreakingly do but very uncomfortable. I tried an unsuccessful Dr created 30day withdrawal schedule in September 2017 and at end up going back on daily dose. I don’t know how to slowly withdrawal from this low dose. I read in Ashton Manual switching to Valium may be better ( which I have a 5mg script) but Valium makes me feel really weird and dark in my brain so would rather not. Any suggestions for a slow taper from this dose would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
