Hello OnmiWay!

 

We are very glad that you found us!

I am glad to hear that you are getting off the Xanax. Many folks have found that a symptom based taper reducing 5 - 10% every 10 - 14 days and holding when necessary helps to keep symptoms manageable. The majority of folks who taper off of benzo's do so with minimal symptoms and have a quick recovery. Try not to worry, yo will find plenty of support here.

 

I would like to suggest that you do some research on the various boards. Becoming well informed should better enable you to make difficult decisions as well as provide you with the tools you need for a successful taper & recovery.  You will find many knowledgeable members who will support your efforts to be benzo free. I have enclosed a few links below that may help you. Check them out!

 

Wishing you a smooth taper & speedy recovery!

Bella
